"Running data centers is often seen as an additional task to the work of research organizations like CERN," said Jenkins. "With the amount of data being stored in publicly owned data centers reaching 23 petabytes a year, the inception of a science cloud was seen as a necessity by the scientists themselves. Our cloud IaaS platform was chosen as one of the founding participants of Helix Nebula, during the session with CERN, I look forward to speaking on Helix Nebula's continued success and offering solutions to other science organizations facing similar high-performance and big data computing issues."
