Storage
CERNBox is a CERN-developed open source solution, providing safe EU-based cloud data storage to all CERN users. You can store your data, share it and synchronise it across devices - smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, the lot! The data can be accessed from any Web browser or file explorer, and you decide which data you want to share with other individuals or groups of collaborators. The cloud solution used is owncloud. CERN users can activate/access their CERNBox space by logging into https://cernbox.cern.ch/
Key figures
- 2014: CERNBox, as a project initiative is launched by the CERN IT Storage Group to address the necessity of offering an easy and convenient way to access and share the physics data.
- 1 TeraByte (TB) of storage available to each CERN user. One TB corresponds to 500 hours of HD video.
- 2019-2022: All CERN users’ data migration from DFS to CERNBox.
- 2016-2022: The number of users increases by 10 (4K users in 2016 vs 40K users in 2022).
- The figures in the appended image are valid until July 2023:
