Von der Homepage des CERN:

Geneva, Switzerland 5 July 2004. The CERN openlab for DataGrid applications, a partnership between CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, and five leading IT companies - Enterasys Networks, HP, IBM, Intel and Oracle - has announced a series of server and storage technical results regarding the first global science Grid - the Large Hadron Collider Computing Grid project, LCG. The announcement was made at the recent annual sponsors meeting of the CERN openlab.

The openlab partners have demonstrated that a cluster of 40 HP servers running 64-bit Intel® Itanium® 2 processors can be successfully integrated with the LCG, which involves over 60 major scientific computing centres in Europe, North America and Asia. The openlab partners have also completed intensive testing of IBM's SAN File System to demonstrate scale-out capabilities of the new storage software.
