CERN has multiple detectors (CMS and ATLAS are the two best-known) but they serve different purposes and are attached to the same system (LHC). Exacycle also did something similar (we ran multiple different protein folding codes on the same infrastructure).
You're addressing another issue: they built replicability into their scientific method (which is awesome) but it's still within a single logical entity (which happens to be distributed throughout the world).
LIGO went one better and injected fake events to make sure their analysis systems were working.
