  "Today a consortium of leading IT providers and three of Europe's
   biggest research centres (CERN, EMBL and ESA) announced a partnership
   to launch a European cloud computing platform. "Helix Nebula -
   the Science Cloud", will support the massive IT requirements of
   European scientists, and become available to governmental
   organisations and industry after an initial pilot phase."
.....
  "During a two-year pilot phase, Helix Nebula will be deployed and
   tested based on three flagship projects proposed by CERN, EMBL and ESA:
   to accelerate the search for the elusive Higgs particle, to boost
   large-scale genomic analyses in biomedical research, and support
   research into natural disasters. "

.....
  "The commercial partners are Atos, Capgemini, CloudSigma, Interoute,
   Logica, Orange Business Services, SAP, SixSq, Telefonica, Terradue,
   Thales, The Server Labs and T-Systems, along with the Cloud Security
   Alliance, the OpenNebula Project and the European Grid Infrastructure
   (EGI.eu)."
