As a Worldwide TOP Partner of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, Acer is providing more than 6500 pieces of computing equipment and more than 100 engineers and technicians to support the flawless management of what is probably the most complex sport event in the world.
During the 2010 Vancouver Games, a large number of critical applications will be running on its equipment, supporting the delivery of results and updates to the press and fans. Acer notebooks, desktops, monitors and servers, will support the deployment of sporting events at 9 competition and 6 non-competition venues over a 16-day period. Many of these systems will have to be duplicated in different cities and all venues will be controlled remotely.
Equipment will be subjected to severe weather conditions, enormous stress and will run continuously for 24 hours a day. This is why products destined for the Olympic Games were carefully chosen to deliver top performance and extreme reliability for seamless, error-free operation at the Games.
Among the computers supporting the Olympic Games IT infrastructure will be Acer Veriton 1000 and Acer TravelMate 6592. With their unmistakable reliability, manageability and high performance, the world’s greatest sporting events will be served by the world’s best-engineered notebooks.
Acer celebrates its partnership with the Olympic Movement with a range of special edition products distinguished by the Acer Olympic Games composite logo, showing the brand name and the Olympic rings together.
Notebooks that also feature the Olympic logo engraved onto the palm rest were created with the same passion as that which drives athletes to excel in their own particular sporting discipline.
These special-edition products were designed to showcase its excellence in engineering and design.
