I imagine that the warehouse-scale computing people at Google (for example) wince as they read this article.<p>And more when they see this:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wlcg-rebus.cern.ch&#x2F;apps&#x2F;capacities&#x2F;federations&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wlcg-rebus.cern.ch&#x2F;apps&#x2F;capacities&#x2F;federations&#x2F;</a><p>(Note that tier-0 is the only real CERN datacenter.  Apparently it is split into two pieces linked by 100gbps fiber. Maybe that&#x27;s explosion protection?  Anyway, the external partners are some kinda SETI@home arrangement.)<p>Google, can you just <i>give</i> CERN an old datacenter and 2 FTEs worth of volunteers?
