one Higgs field result is more valuable than the spend, and the recovery is multifold.
Here is where the technology has and is enabling the experiments to head towards:
2010e12: Run 1 ;7 and 8 TeV
2015e1 : Run 2 ; 13 TeV
2021e23: Run 3 (14 TeV)
2024e25: HL-LHC installation
2026e35: HL-LHC operation

The next iteration of this big data application is the introduction of cloud and
kubernates platforms where more experiments can be conducted at each component of
the LHC.
Open source adoption: has been a critical success factor in the CERN application of
Big Data platforms and applications. The open source licenses and security have evolved
to be used for enterprise applications and can be deployed on a global basis today for
which CERN is one proof. This is a critical success factor to remember.
Governance: is the other key critical success factor to this entire journey and anybody
in the scientific community will agree to this viewpoint. Governance is not about being
measured but reporting on the measurements required for ensuring all activities and
their tasks have been completed, per the expected outcomes and times completed. This
governance enabled CERN to become successful from the first iteration to date and will
be used in the future.
