Want to unravel the secrets of the big bang, dark matter and the universe? This is what CERN uses to store more than one exabyte of data and beyond

  • CERN uses over one exabyte of storage for research
  • The research laboratory relies on PROMISE and Toshiba for its needs
  • Toshiba will be supplying CERN with 20TB hard drives

As you might expect, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory requires some pretty extensive data storage systems to support its research into fundamental questions about the universe.

With particle collision detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) generating approximately 1TB of data per minute, CERN’s storage infrastructure rather obviously needs to be both high-capacity and highly reliable.
