Milestone

PIC updated network to 200Gbps

The network team at PIC achieved an important milestone after 2 years of development. The network at PIC has been migrated from a 20Gbps to a 200Gbps link in a very smooth way.

This will allow the experiments to increase the bandwidth they transfer data in and out of PIC’s datacenter.
