Tony Cass joined CERN's Information Technology Department in 1987 after
completing a PhD in Particle Physics at the University of Liverpool. After
initial assignments in the CERN Program Library and working with CERN’s
IBM/VMCMS service, Tony played a leading role in the development of
workstation based interactive computing, had major responsibilities in the
operation and management of large scale batch processing and data storage
systems and was responsible for the refurbishment of the 30-year old
computer centre to meet the needs of LHC computing. Tony currently oversees
the various database services at CERN, a remit ranging from corporate
databases, through databases central to the operation of LHC, the world’s
highest energy particle collider, to databases supporting the work of the
LHC physics experiments. |
