25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 1 September CERN Alberto Santoro UERJ - Brazil Outline I – Introduction II - T2–HEPGRID BRASIL – Other News III - Conclusion

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 2 I - INTRODUCTION Brasil and Africa has a long Cultural tradition The roots of Brazilian Music, Food, dances, have a strong component of African culture. By the way, this is true for all Latin American Networks is an open opportunity to Cooperate Brazil X AFRICA X EUROPE X USA need cooperate more, in Science, and Computing GRID. I sincerely think that Digital Divide can be our common start point

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 3 I will try to show what we are doing in Brazil in Grid for HEP and Digital Divide. Our project in Brazil is being developped not so fast as we would like it. Links/Networks is being upgraded in the whole country also not so fast as we would like but it is much better than 3 years ago. New projects has being helpful, like GIGA from RNP, Direct Collaboration with RNP providing new link to Grid projects.

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 4 II -T2-HEPGRID BRASIL–Other News First contacts with Grid ideas. – End of the Client/Server Cluster Presentation of the first Brazilian HEP project for a Tier 1 + several Tiers 2 Jobs was submitted remotely and results sent directly to FNAL/ Dzero. After 2 years we consider completely out of date. Follow new strategies. I will forget today old history and will get only the more recent events involving HEP. I have limited my talk by Brazilian HEP projects only. short summary

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro Presentation of a New Project - Aproved! 500 Machines  But...Dollar increase of a factor 3 and we could buy only 100 Double CPU Machines. - First meeting with Harvey Newman in Rome (LP2001) The first part of the financial support delivered. - bureaucracy impose us about 2 years of delay to our projects - Need to create infrastructure. - Link provided by REDE RIO at 2 Mbps! T2–HEPGRID BRASIL - short summary T2–HEPGRID BRASIL - short summary Starting to buy the machines and build the Group2003- Starting to buy the machines and build the Group Again here CALTECH group has been very helpfull- Thanks! Hepgrid and Digital Divide Workshop –UERJ2004- Hepgrid and Digital Divide Workshop –UERJ, Rio Feb –See - by december 20th. inauguration of our Tier 2

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 8 Brazil/Caltech collaboration in : Data Analysis, Physics, Cyberinfrastructure Federate with Caltech T2 connected to the T1 of Fermilab T2-Hepgrid Brazil become member of the GriPhyN, ivgdl, Grid3, OSG,... Colleagues from other Universities start to use our Cluster for Local production of Monte Carlo; Students are producing Monte Carlo events for analysis on CMS environment RNP decide to provide our connectivity: From Now till October 100 Mbps, From October 10 Gbps but 1 Gbps exclusive for T2-HEPGRID Brazil. Let us show a bit the progress of RNP Brazil/Caltech collaboration in : Data Analysis, Physics, Cyberinfrastructure Federate with Caltech T2 connected to the T1 of Fermilab T2-Hepgrid Brazil become member of the GriPhyN, ivgdl, Grid3, OSG,...

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 9 RNP is the Brazilian national research and education network –maintained by the Brazilian government –provides national (inter-state) and international connectivity for more than 200 universities and research centers through the provision of advanced networking infrastructure collaboration – links to other similar networks internationally (Internet2, GÉANT, APAN, RedCLARA) commodity – links to the commercial Internet –supports the development of advanced networking and its applications M. Stanton

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 10 Two kinds of traffic: “commodity” (Internet1) and “cooperation” (Internet2, or Research and Education) Except for RedCLARA, all current connections are to the USA: RNP operates: –2 * 155 (Rio) + 45 Mbps (SP) commodity to Miami –155 Mbps cooperation via RedCLARA (SP) to LA & Europe Other Brazilian R&E network connections: –622 Mbps operated by ANSP (São Paulo state network) –155 Mbps operated by Rede-Rio (Rio de Janeiro state network) International connectivity M. Stanton

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 11 Project GIGA Objectives - Explore user control of optical fibre infrastructure - Interconnect 18 universities and R&D centres in SE Brazil - provide Networking Research Testbed (NRT) for optical and IP network development - provide Experimental Infrastructure Network (EIN) for development and demonstration of applications OTHER IMPORTANT PROJECTS: What is going on North of Brazil? M. Stanton

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 14 Situation of Local Access in Belém in Brazil in 2004 Situation of Local Access in Belém in Brazil in 2004Institution Summary of local network connections Annual Cost (US$) CEFETAccess to provider at 512 kbps22,200 CESUPA (4 campi) Internal + access to provider at 6 Mbps 57,800 IEC/MS (2 campi) Internal at 512 kbps + Access to provider at 512 kbps 13,300 MPEG (2 campi) Internal at 256 kbps; Access at 34 Mbps (radio link) 7,600 UEPA (5 campi) Internal at 128 kbps; Access at 512 kbps18,500 UFPA (4 campi) Internal at 128 kbps; Provider PoP16,700 UFRAAccess to provider at 1 Mbps16,000 UNAMA (4 campi) Internal wireless links, access at 6 Mbps88,900 Annual telco charges for POOR local access = US$ 241,000 M. Stanton

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 15 Alternative Approach in Brazil – Do It Yourself (DIY) Networking (M. Stanton, RNP) 1. Form a consortium for joint network provision 2. Build your own optical fiber network to reach ALL the campi of ALL consortium members 3. Light it up and go! Costs involved: – Building out the fiber: using utility poles of electric company US$ 7,000 per km Monthly rental of US $1 per pole (~25 poles per km) – Equipment costs: mostly use cheap 2 port GbE switches – Operation and maintenance in Belém for 11 institutions using All GigE connections: – Capital costs around US $ 500,000 – Running costs around US $ 40,000 p.a. – Compare with current US $ 240,000 p.a. for traditional telco solution [for to 6 Mbps: ~ X less bandwidth]

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 16 Brazil: RNP Nat’l Plan for Optical Metro Nets in In December 2004, RNP signed contracts with “Finep” (the agency of the Ministry of Science and Technology) to build optical metro networks in all 27 capital cities in Brazil Total value of more than US$15 millions Most of this money will be spent in 2005 Many Future Projects.

25-27 September 2005 Alberto Santoro 20 III - Conclusion Networks: From RNP: We will go to 10 Gbps. Got Certifications Other Brazilian regions, Very far of the big Brazilian cities: Amazonas State Infraestructure of the University (UERJ) is being upgraded with Optical Fibers to expand good links in the future. All that demonstrate that RNP and Regional networks with exceptions, are taken seriously Digital Divide. Please, we have to understand, that, there are a lot of local effort! But, IT IS ALSO A CONSEQUENCE OF OUR MEETINGS IN RIO, WITH MANY AUTHORITIES WITH RNP!!!THANKS!
