EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

The recent discovery of a Higgs Boson-like particle at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe sent waves through science. Today, we sit down with the deputy head of IT at CERN to discuss exactly what computing power is required to crunch through all that data.

We also step inside the 'Tier Zero' data centre running it all, and look at how CERN is attempting to stay ahead of the curve with a new data centre in Budapest.
