  2. Overview 1. CESNET Association 2. CESNET2 Network and CEF Network Concept 3. Research plan: „Optical National Research Network and its New Applicaton“ 4. CESNET Development Fund 5. International activities 6. Concluding remarks

  3. CESNET Association CESNET (Czech Educational and Scientific Network) esatblished in 6th March 1996 as a not for profit legal entity - NREN in the Czech Republic Association of Legal Entities (z.s.p.o.) . Members: - 25 Universities - Czech Academy of Sciences 52 staff members in Prague More than 150 part-time universities and Academy of Sciences staff working on projects

  4. CESNET2 Network Brief History1 1996 - July, CESNET Association takes over operation of the CESNET Network - September, call for tender for project TEN-34CZ participation - November, contract for TEN-34CZ between Ministery of Education, Youth and Sports and CESNET signed (1996 – 1998, 555 mil.CZK/3 years)

  5. CESNET2 Network Brief History 2 1997 - CESNET Association runs two independent network infrastructures - CESNET (no Accetable Use Policy - AUP) - TEN-155CZ (with AUP) 1998 - process of selling CESNET network iniciated 2000 - CESNET network (infrastructure, customers, staff) sold to Contactel - CESNET Association operates TEN-155CZ, later CESNET2 network

  6. Customer (User) Empowered Fibre (CEF) Networks – General Concept - started in the middle of 90´s of last century by purchasing (deploying) dark fibre in the Metro area - possible due to liberalization of the legislation for telecom. services and decreasing cost of fibre optic cables and related equipment - CESNET started lease fibres between cities since 1999 - national fibre footprint contracted for 1 – 5 year (fibre lease)

  7. The 4rd Customer Empowered Fiber Network Workshop - September 19 – 20, 2007 Prague - Organized by CESNET - Previous workshops (2004, 2005, 2006) - Global attendance, high evaluation by the participants

  8. CESNET2+ Design Goals (GÉANT2+ extention in the Czech Republic) - IP core min. 10 Gbps, highly reliable, routed, production backbone - Research Data Network (RDN) circuit-based, support Few-to-Few applications, high-bandwidth (1 GE, 10 GE) links

  9. Topology CESNET2 - January 2007

  10. Future plans in DWDM infrastructure

  11. Funding - Research plan: „Optical High Speed National Research Network and its New Applications“ - 2004 – 2010 - Funded by Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech republic and association members – budged cca 12 Mil EURo/year Research activity annual reports available www.ces.net

  12. Research Plan Activities • CESNET2 backbone network development – Václav Novák (CESNET) • Optical networks – Stanislav Šíma (CESNET) • Programmable hardware – Jiří Novotný (MU in Brno) • Network and traffic monitoring – Tomáš Košňar (CESNET) • Performace monitoring and optimisation – Sven Ubik (CESNET) • AAI and mobility – Milan Sova (CESNET) • IP telephony – Jan Růžička (CESNET) • METACentre – Luděk Matyska (MU in Brno) • Virtual collaborative environments – Eva Hladká (MU in Brno) • Support of distance education – Boris Šimák (CVUT in Prague) • CESNET CSIRT – Andrea Kropáčová (CESNET) • Medical applications – Milan Šárek (CESNET)

  13. CESNET Development Fund - based of the CESNET commercial network sale resources (cca 400 mil. CZK) - fond funds invested into bonds and/or low-risk financing means - yearly profit is used for: a) increasing the fund capital resources (min. 5%) b) suppost of the research and development projects (min. 35%) c) stabilizing the Association employees (min. 25%) d) education and training of the Association member´s employees (min. 10%) CESNET Development Fund Board (7 members) elected by the CESNET General Assembly

  14. Participation of CESNET in International Projects EGGE II – design and implementation of the Grid middleware (CESNET is umbrela org. for Grids in the Czech Rebublic) LOBSTER – design and implemantation of pilot pan-european IP monitoring infrastructure

  15. SEEFIRE - study on availability of optical infrastructure in south-east Europe ORIENT - connection of GN2 to Chinese R&D network CERNET Porta Optica- dark fiber based research network deploymentin Eastern Europe, the Baltic States and Southern Caucasus regions GN2 – involvement in all joint research activities (JRA)

  16. NATO Projects in Azerbaijan - CESNET implemented two projects on design and implementation of the R&D network in Azerbaijan - total value 9.300 mil. CZK (100% funded by NATO)

  17. Concluding Remarks - last decade was devoted to getting enough bandwidth (no issue any more) - future challenge is to deliver End-to-End services user friendly way (middleware) to the users - having access to fiber End-to-End is key presumption for success - there is much more to resolve……

  18. Thank you for your attention!
