Spectra Logic Provides Storage For Nuclear Research

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN has announced that it’s planning to migrate all the data generated from its Large Hadron Collider from Spectra Logic’s T380 tape library to a Spectra T-Finity unit.

The Large Hadron Collider creates petabytes of information each year as physicists at CERN continue in their quest to discover the hypothetical Higgs Boson; the as yet undiscovered particle that would validate the standard model of particle physics.

The data is managed by CERN’s storage team using their bespoke CASTOR HSM software and then distributed to teams across the world.

Vladimir Bahyl, tape service manager at CERN said: "The Spectra T-Series tape library platform allows CERN to scale both hardware and software to make capacity upgrades quick, seamless and affordable as our data sets grow."
