Establishing continental backbones "The
DANTE/GEANT experience"
  • E. Valente (GARR)
  • International Workshop onAfrican Research
    Education NetworkingSeptember 25-27 2005 CERN -
    Geneva, Switzerland

What is GÉANT2?
  • 7th generation of pan-European research network
    infrastructure first international hybrid
    network
  • Project partners include 30 of Europes national
    research and education networks (NRENs), DANTE
    and TERENA
  • Will connect 34 European countries and serve over
    3500 research and education establishments across
    Europe
  • Over 3 Million Users

3
What is GÉANT2?
  • Provide international connectivity to other world
    regions
  • Funded jointly by NRENs and European Commission
  • Project timescale September 2004 - August 2008

4
GÉANT2s Objectives
  • Provide a gigabit-speeds infrastructure to
    support European research and education
  • Provide a research infrastructure for network
    technology developments
  • Develop a wider range of network services
  • Performance monitoring
  • Security
  • Bandwidth on demand
  • Testbed facility
  • Mobility and roaming
  • Provide global connectivity for Europes research
    and education community

  • The EUMEDGRID initiative is aimed to estabilish a
    Grid Infrastructure for eScience in the
    Mediterranean Area
  • connected with EGEE
  • and other related initiatives in the Balkans,
    North Europe, Latin America and Far-East Asia.
  • The EUMEDGRID initiative is intended to foster
    and promote the international cooperation in
    eScience as well as the growth of the
    Mediterranean Countries in the fields of Research
    and Industry.

  • EUMEDGRID aims to provide specific support
    actions to assist the participation of the states
    of the Mediterranean region in the pan-European
    and worldwide Grid initiatives, thus expanding
    and supporting the European Research Area (ERA)
    in the region.
  • The core of the EUMEDGRID approach is to
    establish a human network in the eScience area,
    enlarge and train this community, and establish a
    pilot Grid infrastructure supporting proof of
    concept regional applications.
  • The reference GRID Infrastructure in Europe will
    be EGEE a 2 years project funded by the EU and
    started in April 2004.
  • EUMEDGRID will build upon and exploit the
    infrastructure provided by the Gigabit
    Pan-European Research Education Network (GEANT)
    and the Mediterranean Research and Education
    Networking (EUMEDCONNECT) initiative in the
    region.
