Curiosidad,.. y tecnológicamnte hablando?

queres decir que tecnología usan?

1. World Data Centre for Climate

If you had a 35 million euro super computer lying around what would you use it for? The stock market? Building your own internet? Try extensive climate research -- if there's a machine out there that has the answer for global warming, this one might be it. Operated by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and German Climate Computing Centre, The World Data Centre for Climate (WDCC) is the largest database in the world.

The WDCC boasts 220 terabytes of data readily accessible on the web including information on climate research and anticipated climatic trends, as well as 110 terabytes (or 24,500 DVD's) worth of climate simulation data. To top it off, six petabytes worth of additional information are stored on magnetic tapes for easy access. How much data is six petabyte you ask? Try 3 times the amount of ALL the U.S. academic research libraries contents combined.

Sip, habría que ir al site de Max Planck Institute, para averiguar..
porque los mas chicos creo van a DB distrib.

HPSS

There are various databases around the world using technology similar to that found in our countdown's second largest database NERSC. The technology is known as High Performance Storage System or HPSS.

UN tema interesante para investigar, hace poco seguí un enlace de los ads de google, sobre BD HA (gratis 1eros 4 nodos )..
Comercialmente hoy oracle es punta, antes Ingres lo superaba en VMS, algo de eso se abrió ..
pero en super, no sé capaz IMS o quien sabe ..

En 1. World Data Centre for Climate = Oracle http://www.mad.zmaw.de/tool-bar/search/

En otros HPSS http://www.hpss-collaboration.org/hpss/a...fering.jsp = DB2 y *NIX de todos los gustos, como el querido Digital Tru64 UNIX

sorry, me enhanché...........
