1 TB _a day_ at CERN (was: 21 terabytes at NYNEX)

Mark,

Your ideas are very interesting, but this 21 TB at NYNEX is insignificant when compared to the 1 TB a day (5 PB a year for several decades) that CERN will be generating for the next generation High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments (the data is something of the order of 10^17 bytes). CERN will be using an OODB (Objectivity/DB)!

Any ideas that might help them?

Cheers,
