[EN] Going Large - CERN VM/VMFS - Laura Promberger, Jakob Blomer
ENGLISH EDITION: There are a lot of "large" things at CERN, including the amount of data produced and the software needed to manage and analyse them. In this episode I talk to Laura Promberger and Jakob Blomer from the CERN virtual machine/file system VM/VMFS project about how this set of tools is helping researchers.
And not just physicists, as CERN VM/VMFS is also used in other areas of the high performance computing community.
