CERN embraces huge cloud for scientific community
The CERN nuclear physics laboratory is building a massive cloud computing environment that will allow scientists across the world to collaborate on their research projects.
CERN is best known for its construction of the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which was restarted last month after more than a year of repairs. And now the Swiss lab is exploring cloud computing, and has selected infrastructure from Canadian vendor Platform Computing, to help it build it.
