  1. GÉANT: Interconnecting NRENs in Europe & Beyond Vasilis Maglaris maglaris@netmode.ntua.gr Professor, National Technical University of Athens - NTUA Chairman, NREN Policy Committee – GÉANT Consortium CAS-EU Workshop on Research e-Infrastructures Beijing, November 11th 2009

  2. The GÉANT Evolution • 7th generation of pan-European research network federated infrastructure: A 20 year success story • EuropaNET TEN34  TEN155  GÉANT (GN2  GN3) • Connects 36 European countries through 32 NREN partners • Over 3,500 Research & Education (R&E) campuses across Europe • Over 30 million users • Total GÉANT Cost: 40 M€/year (shared equally by the EC & NRENs) GÉANT EC Subsidy < 10% of total European R&E Networking Cost • Provides extensive international connectivity to other world regions • Governance by NREN PC, Exec • Project co-ordination by DANTE via the PMT (Project Management Team) complemented by TERENAand involving > 400 NREN staff

  3. The GÉANT Sequence 2000-2004: GEA project GÉANT network 10 Gigabit/sec IP 2004-2009: GN2 project GÉANT2 network Dark fiber core “Hybrid” Packet - Circuit Services Joint Research Activities Transition to Service 2009-2013: GN3 project GÉANT network End-to-End Multi Domain Services Service Activities/Joint Research Activities Networking Activities

  4. Map of the GN3 Consortium

  5. GÉANT Topology GÉANT topology – April 2009

  6. The GN3 Mission • To create an innovative multi-domain hybrid networking environment, using advanced transmission & switching technologies • To enable R&E users through their Organizations with flexible and scalable production quality services via their constituent NRENs • To be an enabler for Global R&E networking supporting international e-Science initiatives, creating a Global Virtual Village to house researchers & educators around the world • To contribute to standards as a key participant in European & Global efforts towards the Network of the Future

  7. NREN – GÉANT Ecosystem • Including R&E communities across Digital Divides • Leverage collaboration via virtualization • Enable access to the Knowledge Society • Make Big Science affordable at the desktop • Creating a distributed Critical Research Infrastructure • Provision & manage Optical Private Networks for Science: LHC OPN, eVLBI… • Expected to serve International Demanding Projects (FEDERICA, ESFRI Priorities - PRACE, ITER…) • Fostering European innovation by sustaining a vast Network of Excellence in • Test & deploy bleeding-edge networking technologies (e.g. 100 Gigabit/sec per wavelength) • Advance INTERNETmulti-domain toolsets & federal services
