Video: CERN shows off computing grid infrastructure

Real-time data transfers show the global reach of CERN experiments

Bob Jones, head of the open labs project at CERN, shows off the real-time data transfers taking place out of CERN to a network of almost 200 subsidary datacentres.

CERN needs the Grid to help it collect and store the vast amount of data being created from collisions between particles in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
