CERN Data Centre key facts (July 2022)

CERN IT’s facts and figures for the Data Centre and its storage systems.

What it anchors

  • The scale of the EOS disk layer and tape archive, and the division of labour between online disk and long-term tape storage.
  • CTA entered production in 2020 and progressively replaced CASTOR before Run 3.
