IT Services at Beijing 2008


Beijing 2008 Olympic Games have been the most information intensive Olympic Games ever.
Top class athletes from around the world have broken 43 world records and 132 Olympic records during the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, while behind scenes the IT team led by Atos Origin has smashed records of its own.

Atos Origin has successfully delivered the IT infrastructure that makes the Games happen and transmits the results worldwide in less than 0.3 seconds. The IT team and the scale of the IT infrastructure has been similar to that in Athens, yet in comparison to the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, the IT team has:

The massive IT infrastructure comprises:
Fully redundant data network
1,000 servers
1,000 network and security devices
10,000 computers
4,000 printers
4,800 result system terminals, including over 2,000 CIS (Commentator Information System) terminals and over 2,000 Intranet terminals (INFO2008)
200,000 hours of testing
