'Data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be generated in such quantities that in three years the Storage Tank-based grid will have to manage and process one petabyte (a million gigabytes) of information, said Jai Menon, an IBM Fellow and the co-director of the IBM Storage Systems Institute. That's the equivalent of a million-and-a-half CDs, or in old school terms, as much paper as can be packed into 20 million four-draw filing cabinets.'
