As institutions amass huge amounts of data, researchers are rethinking standard ways of storing and organizing that data. When, in a year, the Large Hadron Collider collects multiple times the data of human memory, it’s time to start rethinking how we work with that data. But how do we do that? Well, particle physicists have been doing it for years. See what Fermilab did. Continue reading here.

"A Flood of Data" This graphic represents various types of big data, and as you can see, it only takes the LHC a year to make most other data collections pale in comparison.
