Record data transfers from the LHC accelerator

CESNET recorded record data transfers on the LHCONE link. The virtual private LHCONE network (LHC Open Network Environment) is used for data transfer of experiments on the LHC accelerator at CERN, and also for several other particle and astroparticle physics projects. During the data consolidation of the ATLAS experiment in early April, more than 1 PB of data was transferred to the Tier-2 centre at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (FZU) over this line in 3 days. The maximum volume of data transferred in 24 hours exceeded 600 TB.
