"640 Kilobytes is all the memory you will ever need" attributed to Bill
 Gates, Microsoft

A Petabyte is a million Gigabytes, the equivalent of over 200,000 DVDs. That
 may seem like an enormous amount of data, but managing such quantities of
 data is a reality in the world of science, and is increasingly becoming an
 imperative in the world of business. This IT First Tuesday @ CERN presents
 the Petabyte challenge, and some of the emerging solutions, from both
 scientific and commercial perspectives.

For CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a Grid solution has been chosen to
 provide the necessary distributed storage capacity for the anticipated 15
 Petabytes of data per year, this collider will produce. IBM is CERN's
 storage partner in the CERN openlab for DataGrid applications, and is
 testing the companies innovative TotalStorage SAN distributed filesystem in
 CERN's demanding IT environment. For Lausanne-based VisioWave, managing
 stored video data provides an extreme storage challenge. For Digitech
 International (ER Mapper France) of Paris, remote sensing by satellites and
 other airborne systems is producing huge data mountains for their customers,
 while at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, researchers are developing
 tools to tackle rapidly growing genomic and proteomic data mountains.

Through these presentations, the audience will gain a sense of the Petabyte
 challenge that lies just around the corner in a variety of fields, and the
 commercial opportunities that this challenge is opening up.

PANEL
------------------------------------------
Panel in English. Tous les intervenants parleront en anglais.

Invited by Francois Grey, IT Division, CERN

With

((( Sverre Jarp, Chief Technology Officer openlab for DataGrid Applications,
 CERN "The Data Challenge at CERN - Gearing up to manage 15 Petabytes a year
 from the LHC"

Sverre Jarp is in charge of DataGrid Application, which is a joint
 collaboration with leading industrial partners to assess cutting-edge
 information technology for the Large Hadron Collider's Computing Grid. He
 has been working in computing at CERN for over 30 years and has held various
 managerial and technical positions. http://www.cern.ch

((( Robert Haas,  Senior Researcher, IBM Zurich
"IBM's Storage Tank technology - dealing with storage in distributed
 environments"

Robert Haas is a networking expert with IBM Research since 1996 and he is now
 active in the field of storage networks. He contributed to the invention and
 implementation of advanced functions for the IBM Network Processor, and
 completed his PhD-work in 2003 at the Polytechnical School of Zurich on
 automated service deployment in programmable networks. He will present the
 storage research directions at IBM and focus on the architecture and
 performance of the IBM TotalStorage SANFS distributed filesystem.

((( Alain Retiere, Director UNOSAT & Principal Coordinator, UNITAR Space and
 IT Programme, CERN and
((( Serge Dedeystere, CEO, Digitech International (ER Mapper France)
"Satellite imagery and remote sensing - coping with Petabytes as a routine
 business"

Geospatial applications concern the sharing of several terabytes data for a
 wide range of purposes. For example, the humanitarian response to the Asian
 tsunami required the collection and broadcast of cartographic and satellite
 data. The new challenge for geospatial imagery is to manage bigger data,
 requiring increasingly complex processes, in the shortest time. The
 presentation will stress why and how geospatial imagery solutions should now
 target on use of distributed process and storage.

((( Yann Guyonvarc'h, President, VisioWave, Lausanne
"Digital Video Networking - how real time management of stored video is
 pushing the storage envelope"

VisioWave designs, produces and markets hardware and software products for
 digital video networking applied to the security market (Surveillance and
 CCTV) as well as for the media and entertainment market (Multimedia
 intranets, Interactive TV, Video learning). Yann Guyanovarc'h founded
 VisioWave in 1996 and received at the French senate the Awards of the 1998
 Andersen Consulting Entrepreneur Grand Prize for the VisioWave project and
 the 2004 Ernst and the 2004 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist
 Award. http://www.visiowave.com/


((( Victor Jongeneel,  Vital-IT group leader, Swiss Institute of
 Bioinformatics, Lausanne "Storing, organizing and analyzing biological data:
 where is the problem?"

Victor Jongeneel obtained his Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology in 1980
 from the University of North Carolina. Since 1998, he is the Director of the
 Office of Information Technology of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer
 Research. He is also a Professor at the University of Lausanne's Medical
 School and a Lecturer at the Federal Polytechnic (EPFL).
