Moving From a Cave to the Surface

The new data center for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider experiment becomes fully operational (expected toward the end of the year). The current data center sits underground, 300 feet below surface. The new data center is much larger: 32,500-square foot, 3MW and it will sit on the surface and requires a fiber optic connection.
