Since restarting in June after a two-year upgrade, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been recording about 3GB of data per second, or about 25 petabytes — that’s 25 million gigabytes — of data per ...

Particle physics laboratory CERN has inaugurated a data center in Prévessin, France. The facility, deployed at CERN's existing site, spans 6,000 square meters (64,600 sq ft) across six rooms. Each ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is one of the scientific community’s most impressive tools. By firing particles at each other in a 17-mile-long device, scientists have unlocked all sorts of secrets of ...

CERN, the European particle physics laboratory, has placed an order for ten data center modules to handle a major flood of data that will be produced by upgrades to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - ...

For more than half a century, scientists at the CERN particle physics laboratory (more formally, the European Organization for Nuclear Research) have been probing the inner workings of the universe.

Anyone can access collision data from the Large Hadron Collider through the new CERN Open Data Portal. Today CERN launched its Open Data Portal, which makes data from real collision events produced by ...

The grid that will process data from the Large Hadron Collider has undergone stress testing, with Cern and other organisations trying to gauge its limits. The tests, called Scale Testing for the ...

CERN is making the infrastructure that handles the data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) more flexible by upgrading it with OpenStack for virtualization and Puppet for configuration management.
