T-Systems, along with IBM and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), is being sounded out by Cern as a potential supplier of its €5.3m Helix Nebula hybrid cloud platform for the European science community.
Twenty-eight firms from 12 countries are understood to have submitted bids to provide the infrastructure to support the project, following the publication of a pre-commercial procurement tender earlier in 2016.
This list has since been whittled down to four consortia of suppliers that have submitted their design ideas for the project.
