Seal Storage Technology Partners with the ATLAS Experiment at CERN
Toronto, Ontario and Geneva, Switzerland, 31 October 2022: Seal Storage Technology has partnered with the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN in a pilot project to explore Seal’s decentralized cloud storage platform as an efficient and cost-effective option for archival data storage. In this R&D project, Seal has provided 10 Pibibytes (PiBs) of cloud-based storage capacity to the ATLAS Experiment, hosted in Seal’s data centers. Together with ATLAS and CERN scientists and engineers, the Seal engineering team has successfully completed the initial integration between Seal’s decentralized storage platform and CERN’s Rucio data management software and File Transfer Service (FTS).
“This is a great opportunity for ATLAS to integrate cutting-edge, commercial cloud storage resources into our distributed computing infrastructure,” said Alessandro Di Girolamo, ATLAS Computing Co-Coordinator. “We are delighted to collaborate with Seal Storage Technology on this R&D project, which has enormous possibilities for expansion and could provide significant distributed archival storage across WLCG sites for the HL-LHC era.”
“As a leader in scientific advancement, the ATLAS Experiment at CERN is the ideal partner for Seal’s innovative decentralized cloud storage platform,” said Michael Horowitz, Seal Storage Technology CEO. “Seal is excited to continue this partnership and provide secure and reliable storage for data fueling HL-LHC’s discoveries.”
Key Points:
eal's storage helps ensure data integrity by regularly checking for data corruption or involuntary modification.
Seal’s data platform uses Filecoin’s distributed ledger technology to ensure all data stored with Seal is immutable, verifiable, and has a chain of custody.
