I've read that CERN is storing more than 1 exabyte of collisions data these days (up from 600PB during the last long shutdown https://information-technology.web.cern.ch/sites/default/fil...). Not too shaby...

All using ZFS, too

uhoh, can only store 1000 of that dataset then. D:

In one pool, sure.

You can have more than one pool.

Having done my little contribution to ATLAS TDAQ/HLT in the early 2000's, it is an interesting feeling to see the next steps taking shape.

Hopefully no sophons appear.

You don’t want an ocular alarm clock?

I feel like the title is a little overdramatic.

They’re not saying goodbye to the LHC, they’re upgrading it to have 10x the power.
