What is GÉANT? Quite a BIG Project. . . Total cost ca 182 M€ over 4 years Approximately 51% EC funding 34 project partners (NRENs + DANTE + TERENA) Connecting together EU NRENs Circa 500 person years over 4 years for service development, research, and networking GÉANT is now 11 years old! connect • communicate • collaborate What is GÉANT vision 8 Connecting Helix Nebula
What is DANTE ? Project manager for GÉANT DANTE (Delivery of Advanced Network Technology to Europe) Not for Profit organisation, Established 1993 by 11 EU NRENs Based in Cambridge UK, DANTE is a truly European company We have a diverse, multi-lingual staff representing many different nationalities DANTE's purpose is to plan, build and operate pan-European research and education networks DANTE's Role Vehicle for European NRENs to co-ordinate research and education networking DANTE's activities typically include: Project management Data communications infrastructure development Project feasibility assessment Procurement exercises Network service development and provision Information dissemination and customer support DANTE currently has an annual turnover of approximately 40 million Euros connect • communicate • collaborate What is GÉANT vision 9 Connecting Helix Nebula
What sets GÉANT apart from others? Robustness Outstanding service availability and quality Capacity Over 1, 000 Terabytes of data transferred via the GÉANT IP backbone …every day Key routes on 40 Gbps Upgrades to 500 Gbps currently rolling out Network remains ahead of user demand for bandwidth Flexibility Services and infrastructure can be tailored to individual user requirements. Efficient operations and total support from dedicated NOC Portfolio of advanced services – connectivity, network support and access services for NRENs, institutions and projects, researchers and students connect • communicate • collaborate What is GÉANT vision 10 Connecting Helix Nebula
Service Availability and Quality Statistics for the past 6 months demonstrate that, of the 34 NREN partners connected to the GÉANT IP backbone: 13 NRENs have diverse, redundant connections via GÉANT fibre infrastructure benefit from a service availability over 99. 999% In total 28 NRENs benefit from a service availability over 99. 99% On average, all NRENs, regardless of location and method of access to the GÉANT network benefit from a service availability of 99. 9% connect • communicate • collaborate What is GÉANT vision 11 Connecting Helix Nebula
Efficient operations and support GÉANT NOC (UK) GÉANT Network Operations Centre (NOC) Day-to-day management of two parts : GÉANT Service Desk (SD) GÉANT Network Control Centre (NCC). The GÉANT SD First point of contact, 24/7, every day of the year Monitors basic network health and creates tickets for network incidents, planned maintenance and new service requests. The GÉANT NCC Responsible for Network problems diagnosis Organising and overseeing repairs and maintenance Configuring new services. connect • communicate • collaborate What is GÉANT vision 12 Connecting Helix Nebula

GÉANT Policies GÉANT is a network for Research and Education…. GÉANT does not have a written acceptable use policy GÉANT accepts all traffic from GÉANT NRENs GÉANT accepts traffic beneficial to GÉANT NRENs (Global NRENs, Google etc) GÉANT Executive committee has discussed the Helix Nebula request and agreed: GÉANT would welcome HN as a network user Relationship needs to be clarified: – Paying customer? – Research partner? connect • communicate • collaborate What is GÉANT vision 16 Connecting Helix Nebula
Practicalities of Connecting How could Helix Nebula connect to GÉANT? 1. Via an NREN (most academic/research sites do this) • No restriction from a GÉANT perspective • Most NRENs will charge for the connection • National rules vary • DANTE can be the single point of contact for Helix Nebula • Via an Internet Exchange or GÉANT Po. P • If GÉANT agrees a formal research partnership with Helix Nebula… • …this IP connectivity would be provided free-of-charge • Dedicated, private connectivity via GÉANT Plus or GÉANT Lambda • 1 Gbps -100 Gbps • …likely to incur extra cost connect • communicate • collaborate What is GÉANT vision 17 Connecting Helix Nebula
Connecting Cloud Sigma In Switzerland SWITCH peering with Cloud Sigma already Established at the Swiss. IX exchange point In Zurich. SWITCH has a 10 G access to the Swiss. IX Cloud Sigma access bandwidth is unknown Direct 10 G peering can be established Need an additional 10 G interface plus a cross connect inside the exchange point Fully redundant direct connection … Can be made but this would need more time and money. connect • communicate • collaborate What is GÉANT vision 18 Connecting Helix Nebula
Connecting T Systems in Germany T Systems International is already connected to DFN Because TSI operates the network of German Aerospace Agency (DLR) The connection only carry traffic from/to DLR. DFN has a contract with DLR is Helix Nebula partner The connection can probably be upgraded to carry both DFN and Helix Nebula traffic German Aerospace Agency (DLR) What is GÉANT connect • communicate • collaborate GÉANT vision 19 Connecting Helix Nebula
