NetApp Provides CERN An Agile Data Infrastructure

Scientists at CERN, the European organisation for Nuclear Research, and search for clues that will help unlock the secrets of the universe. In the quest for answers, scientists gather mind-boggling amounts of data from the trillions of proton collisions that occur within four points of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle acceleratorin the world. It’s from this very same data that scientists in July uncovered one of the greatest findings ever in particle physics—a new particle consistent with the long-sought Higgs Boson, a particle that is believed to give all other particles mass and a finding that people around the world have been anticipating for more than 50 years.
