Special Event
Data management in the 21st Century: the Petabyte challenge
→
Europe/Zurich
500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)
Description
A Petabyte is a million Gigabytes, the equivalent of over 200,000 DVDs. That may seem like an enormous amount of data, but managing such quantities of data is a reality in the world of science, and is increasingly becoming an imperative in the world of business. This IT First Tuesday@CERN presents the Petabyte challenge, and some of the emerging solutions, from both scientific and commercial perspectives.
For CERN's Large Hadron Collider, a Grid solution has been chosen to provide the necessary distributed storage capacity for the anticipated 15 Petabytes of data per year that this collider will produce. IBM is CERN's storage partner in the CERN openlab for DataGrid applications, and is testing the companies innovative TotalStorage SAN distributed filesystem in CERN's demanding IT environment. For Lausanne-based VisioWave, managing stored video data provides an extreme storage challenge. For Digitech International (ER-Mapper France), remote sensing by satellites and other airborne systems is producing huge data mountains for their customers, while at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, researchers are developing tools to tackle rapidly growing genomic and proteomic data mountains.
Through these presentations, the audience will gain a sense of the Petabyte challenge that lies just around the corner in a variety of fields, and the commercial opportunities that this challenge is opening up.
