Oracle solutions help CERN explore our universe

Running at the speed of light

CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, uses Oracle solutions to support the control systems for the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.

The control systems for CERN’s highly complex mix of accelerators, detectors, and information-management technologies create one of the most challenging Internet of Things (IoT) environments in the world.

As researchers look beyond the Standard Model of physics, exploring dark matter and dark energy, CERN is using Oracle solutions — including Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — to help scale its operations to the unprecedented levels required.

Discover how CERN uses these technologies to help carry out experiments at the  Large Hadron Collider,  a 17- mile-long particle accelerator buried underground at the French-Swiss border.
