On September the 10th, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) began experiments with its Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful particle accelerator. Physicists will use the LHC to recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang, by colliding two beams of subatomic particles head-on, at very high energy. Teams of physicists from around the world will then analyze the particles created in the collision to gain a better understanding of some of the fundamental laws of nature.

The French Physics organization, IN2P3/CNRS, which is responsible for collecting data from the experiments on the new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, has chosen to use Sun servers, Solaris and Sun StorageTek tape libraries to house the data that they collect.

Fox Interactive Media (FIM), Sun Microsystems, and Greenplum have developed and deployed a new data warehouse designed to support monetization efforts for FIM's portfolio of leading Web properties. The data warehouse solution is built upon the Sun Fire x4500 storage server and Solaris, and provides complex, real-time analysis in support of FIM's advanced targeted advertising systems.

"Sun and Greenplum will be invaluable collaborators as we continue to put our data to work in new ways that will improve both the user and advertiser experience on our network of sites," said Arnie Gullov-Singh, EVP of Product, Technology and Operations for the FIM Audience Network.
