Ian Bird, LCG project leader, states, “Our ability to manage data at this scale is the product of several years of intense testing. Today’s result demonstrates the excellent and successful collaboration we have enjoyed with countries all over the world.

I would like to acknowledge the excellent contributions by so many people all over the world in helping to complete this work on time and within budget.”
