  5. And the Strategic Shortcomings

  6. A Technical Design Authority for the Network The Network Technical Design Authority (TDA) is responsible for establishing and maintaining the overall technical architecture of the Core Network so that it might be developed and operated in a manner which is consistent with the strategic goals of the STFC, and remains fit for purpose in the light of the evolving demands of its user base. The TDA reports to the IT Operations Board (ITOB) and to the Information Management & Technology Strategy and Oversight Committee (IMTSOC).

  7. Requirements of a National Laboratory

  8. A New Network Architecture

  9. Implementing a New Network A New Network Architecture • FY2011-12 (£350k) • Janet connectivity increased to resilient 30Gb • RAL site geographically resilient • New external core routers operating in a resilient configuration using a 80Gb ring operational June 2012 • “Big” Data centric “clouds” being migrated to the new infrastructure: LHC Tier 2 migrated, JASIM/CEMS in advanced stages, British Atmospheric Data Centre and LHC Tier 1 started

  10. Implementing a New Network A New Network Architecture • FY2012/13 (£200k) • RAL Firewall re-procurement to provide 40Gb throughput in HA configuration • Fortinet Fortigate-3240C firewall selected and procured • Implementation planning underway with target operational service in summer 2013 • FY2011-12 (£350k) • Janet connectivity increased to resilient 30Gb • RAL site geographically resilient • New external core routers operating in a resilient configuration using a 80Gb ring operational June 2012 • “Big” Data centric “clouds” being migrated to the new infrastructure: LHC Tier 2 migrated, JASIM/CEMS in advanced stages, British Atmospheric Data Centre and LHC Tier 1 started

  11. Implementing a New Network • FY2013/14 (£130k) • Focus: internal RAL network: to dis-aggregate complex configurations; to provide a simple IP routed environment • Review (and replace) Nortel stacked switches and routers to provide appropriate, i.e. modern, technology to level performance needs and based on reliability assessment • Introduce better instrumentation through the network A New Network Architecture • FY2012/13 (£200k) • RAL Firewall re-procurement to provide 40Gb throughput in HA configuration • Fortinet Fortigate-3240C firewall selected and procured • Implementation planning underway with target operational service in summer 2013 • FY2011-12 (£350k) • Janet connectivity increased to resilient 30Gb • RAL site geographically resilient • New external core routers operating in a resilient configuration using a 80Gb ring operational June 2012 • “Big” Data centric “clouds” being migrated to the new infrastructure: LHC Tier 2 migrated, JASIM/CEMS in advanced stages, British Atmospheric Data Centre and LHC Tier 1 started
