The data analysis will require massive distributed CPU power with huge data storage facilities connected together through high bandwidth links, as well as new mathematical methods for extracting insightful information from experimental data. The home made implementations of open software, together with their quality assessment through specific validation procedures, are cornerstones of an activity devoted to the minimization of the financial effort. This is particularly important for successful realization of JINR new home projects and participation of JINR in future large scale projects such as FAIR complex, Super-LHC, International Linear Collider (ILC), etc. The home made implementations of open software, together with their quality assessment through specific validation procedures, are cornerstones of an activity devoted to the minimization of the financial effort.

V.V.Ivanov (LIT, JINR) Development of the JINR Grid-environment The formation of a unified Grid- environment of the JINR Member States is a pillar of the 7-year plan within the direction “Networks. Computing. Computational Physics”. Three main levels within the Grid- environment: network, resource and applied.

V.V.Ivanov (LIT, JINR) Network level developments of the JINR Grid-infrastructure Telecommunication channels The development and upgrade of the JINR telecommunication links include a wide spectrum of activities focused on the growth of the cooperation with the Russian Satellite Communications Company (RSCC), the development of a high-speed network infrastructure in Russia, the improvement of the system of international computer channels for science and education in Russia, the data links with the JINR-participating countries. JINR partners networks – RBNet, RASNet, RUNNet, RUHEP in Russia, and GEANT2 JINR-Moscow channel In 2008, an agreement was concluded between JINR and RSCC on the rent of optical fiber cable for the provision of optical communication links between Moscow and Dubna on the basis of state-of-the-art technologies DWDM and 10Gb Ethernet. The channel is planned to be launched in 2009 with a capacity of 20 Gbps. The mentioned technologies allow one to create up to 72 channels of 10 Gbps each, and to raise the total throughput up to 720 Gbps.
