CERN Computing’s Post

#ceph is an #opensource distributed storage system that provides blocks, objects and file systems. At CERN, CEPH is used to address the needs of the IT infrastructure. At the opening of the session dedicated to CEPH at the #TechWeekStorage24 conference, Dirk Duellmann stressed the "strategic importance of storage and data management for the IT department" and highlighted the "importance of collaboration as part of open community projects". Enrico Bocchi, in charge of CEPH at CERN talks about the storage system and the role of the recently inaugurated second Data Centre of the Organization.

History was made as Sir Tim Berners-Lee launched the world's first website at CERN, kickstarting the internet revolution. Dedicated to the World Wide Web project, this monumental event forever changed how we connect and share information. 🌐 #InternetHistory #TimBernersLee #CERN #worldwideweb #InternetRevolution #didyouknow #scopeyard #solutions #informationtechnology

Today at #TechWeekStorage24, Enrico Bocchi explained the Ceph distributed storage system, which is used at CERN as one of the building blocks for our data storage solutions and critical services. #cern #science #data #storage #ceph #blockstorage #objectstorage #filestorage #techweekstorage24

The operational launch ceremony of the #OpenQuantumInstitute (OQI) is full speed ahead. Hosted by CERN, born at GESDA - Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator, supported by UBS, the OQI enters its new, three-year pilot phase to help unleash the full power of #quantumcomputing for the benefit of all. Building on the joint effort of some 180 experts to date, the #OQI seeks to facilitate equal access to cutting-edge nascent technologies and to support the development of concrete quantum solutions aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).   Some of the use-cases include:   🍀 Using quantum computing simulation to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (addressing SDG 13). 🌐 Improving the sustainability of global food systems through quantum computing optimisation (addressing SDG 2, zero hunger). 🏥Finding quantum machine learning solutions to improve medical imaging accuracy,  …and more!   Join us on this fascinating journey towards human-centred, inclusive and responsible quantum computing! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gRTfAkVG  

I am happy to participate in the operational launch ceremony of the Open Quantum Institute (OQI) today, and many congratulations again to all dear colleagues at GESDA - Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator! Proposed, designed, and incubated through GESDA, in collaboration with some 180 experts from all over the world, the OQI is a multilateral science diplomacy initiative, uniting academia, technology companies, the private sector, the diplomatic community, philanthropy organizations, and global citizens in a joint effort towards more open and inclusive quantum computing. By facilitating equal access to cutting-edge nascent technologies, the OQI seeks to accelerate the potential of quantum computing for all societies and support the development of concrete quantum solutions to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While quantum computing technology is still under development, quantum computers are a complete change of paradigm in the way computation has been practiced so far. This has raised many security concerns, including data security and privacy. The ability of quantum computers to carry out high-speed factorization could crack today's most widely used encryption schemes. As discussed in the workshop today, the key lies in maintaining the potential for innovation while managing risks inherent to the dual-use nature of the technology. In this respect, the Security & Technology Programme (SecTec) at UNIDIR — UN Institute for Disarmament Research hosted a multi-stakeholder dialogue on Quantum Technologies and Their Implications for International Peace and Security with prominent scholars and practitioners on 30 November 2023 (https://lnkd.in/eGEMpEjz) and will prepare for another multi-stakeholder dialogue on quantum this year. I will share more about this in the coming months and hope to discuss this issue again soon. Géraldine Haack, Zhanna L.

⏰ Discover the members of the White Rabbit Collaboration! Born at CERN as a result of a collaborative effort, #WhiteRabbit #technology allows you to synchronize devices connected to an #Ethernet network down to billionths of a second. With the launch of the collaboration, we aim to bring stakeholders of the technology together, identify common interests, and foster the uptake of the technology in new domains. We are a founding member of the White Rabbit Collaboration. "As one of the first commercial partners to collaborate with CERN on the White Rabbit technology, our team has taken the initiative to persuade the industry that sub-nanosecond precision is not only essential for cutting-edge physics experiments but also provides significant benefits for many critical infrastructures”, says Benoit Rat, director of the Special Projects Unit at Safran “As a member of the White Rabbit Collaboration, we clearly see that this initiative will help promote its advantages for numerous other applications" You can join the White Rabbit Collaboration to shape the future of this #technology and benefit from everything the collaboration can offer you! ➡️ Learn more: https://hubs.li/Q02SwJmY0 #WhiteRabbitCollaboration #TimeSynchronisation #OpenSource #Technology #Innovation #ResilientPNT #PNT Safran - Navigation & Timing
