En el corazón de una red

IN2P3’s Computing Centre (or CC-IN2P3) is a CNRS support and research unit linked to IN2P3, the institute that pursues and coordinates research on particle physics, nuclear physics and astroparticle physics.

A national research infrastructure, the CC-IN2P3 designs and operates an array of services, especially a mass storage system and mass data resources.

The CC-IN2P3 has two computer rooms (each with a surface area of 850 m²) with several thousand servers and libraries enabling the storage of nearly 340 petabytes of data on magnetic tapes.

CCSD servers and data are hosted by CC-INP3.

CINES (National Computing Center for Higher Education) is a French public institution, located in Montpellier (south of France) and supervised by the French ministry for Higher Education and Research.

CINES offers remarkable services to the scientific community through three national strategic missions: high performance computing, long term digital preservation, hosting of national computer platforms.

The CCSD has been in a partnership with the CINES for the long-term preservation of documents (pdf files) since 2009.
