PyeongChang 2018: first Olympic Games 100% in the cloud

Los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno PyeongChang 2018 finalizan con éxito de la mano de Atos, su segundo ensayo para hacerlos 100% en la nube. Atos completa así más de 100.000 horas de pruebas.

El segundo ensayo técnico de los XXIII Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno en PyeongChang, Corea del Sur, se ha realizado con éxito por Atos y el Comité Organizador de PyeongChang (POCOG). Atos es Partner Mundial de TI de los Juegos Olímpicos y Paralímpicos y esta será la quinta olimpiada de invierno en la que Atos asume esta responsabilidad.

The test, which involved more than 2,500 people from the Atos team, the PyeongChang Organizing Committee, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other technology partners, simulated the three busiest days of the Games in hundreds of predefined operational scenarios.

The second technical rehearsal is designed to ensure that personnel, technology and procedures are fully prepared to respond to any situation. It also provides the opportunity for journalists and broadcasters to familiarize themselves with information systems and to ensure that they will have all the information they need to broadcast the Winter Olympic Games to billions of television viewers around the world. The tests were carried out for 15 sports disciplines in 12 different locations. All competitions were simulated in real spaces and in conditions very similar to those of the Games.

En los próximos Juegos de invierno Atos albergará por vez primera todas las aplicaciones en Canopy, la nube privada digital de Atos, incluidas las acreditaciones, las entradas y las calificaciones deportivas, el portal de voluntarios y otros sistemas de difusión de información Olímpica, con el apoyo del Centro de Operaciones de Tecnología Central (Barcelona) y el Laboratorio de Pruebas de Integración (Madrid).

Marc Gutiérrez Aguilar, Atos Chief Integrator Officer for PyeongChang 2018, commented that "these technical tests are an essential part of our preparation for the Games. We have already completed 100,000 hours of successful testing to ensure that we are ready to offer the first Olympic Games organized 100% in the cloud."
