Next-gen net (Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Grid) speed - 1800 mbps - Superfast internet may replace world wide web





The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), currently being built at CERN near Geneva, is the largest scientific instrument on the planet. When it begins operations in 2007, it will produce roughly 15 Petabytes (15 million Gigabytes) of data annually, which thousands of scientists around the world will access and analyse.

The mission of the LHC Computing Project (LCG) is to build and maintain a data storage and analysis infrastructure for the entire high energy physics community that will use the LHC.

The internet could soon be made obsolete by a new "grid" system which is 10,000 times faster than broadband connections.
