Seagate, CERN openlab Enter Partnership to Look
At Improving Efficiency and Reduce Costs Associated with CERN’s
Colossal – and Growing – Storage Needs
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, announced today it has entered into a three-year
partnership with CERN openlab to collaborate on the development of
the Seagate Kinetic Open Storage platform. The partnership aims to
help CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, to
better manage and store the 100 petabytes of data the Large Hadron
Collider has generated to date, as well as the additional 2-3
petabytes of information it produces on a monthly basis in its
quest to further humanity’s understanding of the universe.

“CERN creates a truly astonishing amount of data on a daily
basis, and finding secure and efficient ways to store that
information is one of the most important challenges we face,” said
Alberto Di Meglio, Head of CERN openlab. “We are excited to
collaborate with Seagate on understanding how the Kinetic storage
architecture could potentially contribute to the CERN
infrastructure and aid the very demanding LHC program, by reducing
complexity and operational costs in our storage systems.”
The Seagate Kinetic Open Storage platform restructures the
traditional storage server architectures from the bottom up,
connecting object-oriented applications directly to the storage
device. By cutting out the many layers of hardware and software
used in traditional stacks, Seagate Kinetic improves performance
while significantly cutting costs – by 15-40%.
“This is a thrilling opportunity for Seagate to collaborate with
CERN to more efficiently operate one of the most extreme and
demanding storage environments in the world,” said Scott Horn, vice
president of marketing at Seagate. “We believe our partnership will
not only deliver extensive benefits to CERN’s large-scale storage
system, but also help us further enhance the Seagate Kinetic Open
Storage platform by testing it in an unparalleled data creation
environment.”
CERN openlab, which is now entering its fifth three-year phase,
is a unique public-private partnership between CERN and leading ICT
companies. Its mission is to accelerate the development of
innovative new solutions to be used by the worldwide LHC community.
CERN openlab provides companies with a framework to test and
validate cutting-edge information technologies and services in
partnership with CERN.
A second, future research project between Seagate and CERN will
look at CERN’s EOS storage system to determine whether there are
opportunities to enhance and improve the system.
About CERN
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the
world's leading laboratory for particle physics. It has its
headquarters in Geneva. At CERN, physicists and engineers are
probing the fundamental structure of the universe. They use the
world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study
the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles.
