Description
Sell to CERN, partner with CERN and learn about its pivotal role in
European Grids and e-business
This afternoon event will highlight the key areas of distributed
computing and enterprise applications to Information and Communication
Technology companies. The meeting will be held as a joint forum with
First Tuesday Geneva, a networking organisation for business and
investors in the Geneva region.
The CERN Openlab for DataGrid applications is a means by which companies
may partner with CERN to testbed their hardware and software products
for Grid applications. Grid technology developed at CERN is already
being used for particle physics and healthcare applications, making the
laboratory an ideal site for collaborative development. British
companies are already participating in this initiative and the
opportunity is now available to medium-sized IT companies. In addition,
a number of enterprise applications will be described. This software has
been developed to manage the unique engineering and administrative
challenges of this international organisation, which is building the
largest scientific instrument on the planet. The event will be followed
by a reception.
