The document discusses using big data analytics to unlock the full potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It describes CERN's efforts to use analytics to optimize operations and maintenance of the LHC, its detectors, and associated systems. Examples highlighted include using analytics for network monitoring, intelligent data placement, anomaly detection in storage systems, predictive maintenance of controls systems, and detecting faults in the LHC's massive cryogenics system. The goal is to extract more knowledge from data to improve availability, efficiency and predict and prevent issues across CERN's operations.
