During the fourth phase (2012-2014) addressed new topics crucial to the CERN scientific programme, such as cloud computing, business analytics, the next generation of hardware, and security for the myriads of network devices.
Avec son accélérateur à particules LHC, le CERN élabore plusieurs expériences qui nécessitent des charges de travail variables. Le centre a mandaté Rackspace pour travaille sur la mise en place d'un cloud hybride pour appréhender les questions de débordement.
RackSpace signe un partenariat d’un an avec le CERN Openlab autour de la création d’une architecture de référence OpenStack portant sur la fédération de cloud.
Rackspace Hosting gaat de samenwerking met Cern openlab intensiveren, door het samen bouwen van een hybride cloudoplossing die bestaat uit de op OpenStack gebaseerde public en private cloud. Hiermee helpt Rackspace Cern bij het diepgaande onderzoek naar het ontstaan van het universum.
Rackspace will deliver a hybrid cloud featuring OpenStack-powered public and private clouds to CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The Rackspace Private Cloud platform will be deployed onto servers that CERN utilizes for production physics experiments.
CERN openlab is running a pilot hybrid cloud project with Rackspace as the research facility seeks to enable the expansion of its OpenStack environment.
One of the goals of the collaboration between hosting provider Rackspace and CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) is to produce a reference architecture for federated cloud services across Rackspace's public and private clouds and CERN's internal private cloud.
Through a brand-new yearlong agreement, the Rackspace Private Cloud platform will now be deployed onto servers that CERN uses for production physics experiments. "The easier CERN can tap into multiple cloud resource pools without significant retooling, the more data they can process and the faster they can prove theories," said Chris Jackson, Rackspace manager for big cloud solutions.
