CERN selects Platform Computing for world’s largest scientific collaboration cloud
CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, has advanced its current Platform LSF grid infrastructure to pilot the world's largest cloud computing environment for scientific collaboration. Using Platform's private cloud management and HPC cloud-enabling software solutions, Platform ISF and Platform ISF Adaptive Cluster, CERN believes the cloud project will allow them to deliver increased computing performance and offer better infrastructure services to its 10,000 researchers from 85 countries. The scientists are working at the new high energy frontier in particle physics to explain fundamental mysteries of the universe such as why particles have mass and the nature of all the "missing mass" in the universe.
