IBM Services, Technology Address "Big Data" Climate Challenge
The German Climate Computing Center in Hamburg hosts the largest archive of climate data in the world -- currently 40 petabytes of information, and projected to grow by as much as 75 petabytes annually over the next five years, requiring a High Performance Storage System from IBM. For comparison, one petabyte equals roughly 210,000 DVDs. The solution uses software developed by IBM and the U.S. Department of Energy, is supported by IBM services and incorporates IBM DB2 database software.
