Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, has announced that CERN<\/a> (the European Organisation for Nuclear Research), one of the world\u2019s largest and most respected centres for scientific research, has deployed Juniper\u2019s networking solutions to increase the capacity of its data centres and technical network to adapt to increasing research requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CERN deployed Juniper Networks QFX Series switches, EX Series Ethernet Switches and is evaluating Tungsten Fabric to create a network built for extreme computing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CERN\u2019s mission is to learn more about how the universe\nworks. Home to the world-renowned Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN is\nadvancing the boundaries of human knowledge through breakthrough research in\nfundamental physics. CERN chose Juniper Networks for powerful, high-density\nswitching that is ready to help unlock the mysteries of the\nuniverse.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LHC experiments are designed to observe up to 1.7 billion proton-proton collisions per second and produce a data volume of more than 7.5 terabytes per second. Only some of these events lead to new discoveries, therefore the flow of data is filtered and reduced to a manageable level. The LHC experiments\u2019 Trigger and Data Acquisition Systems handle data filtering, collection and infrastructure monitoring. Juniper\u2019s switching portfolio provides high-throughput connectivity to support the data collection and infrastructure monitoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CERN\u2019s Geneva data centre supports all of its scientific projects, experiments and administrative systems, from spotting camera-shy pentaquarks and charm mesons to everyday video conferencing and payroll tasks. The data centre network supports more than 15,000 servers and 260,000 processor cores. It enables researchers around the world to receive data from the LHC experiments for analysis. In the last 12 months, 370 petabytes of data have moved across the network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
