Contents History ORIENTplus Project Updated status Use case examples Future plans

ORIENTplus, start ORIENTplus started as a continuation from the ORIENT project

History ORIENT: 2007 – 2010 IP routed link between Copenhagen and Beijing Speed: 2.5 Gbit/s

ORIENTplus, an Introduction Time period: 2011 – 2014 Partners: – China: CERNET and CSTNET – Europe: European NRENs and DANTE (coord) Budget: 4 million euro Sponsored by the European Commission, Chinese Government and the partner in Chinese and European NRENs Aims: – To continue a direct link between China and Europe for R&E, and increase its speed – To stimulate further development of services – To promote the use of the services

ORIENTplus Link Planning Timeline for the Link: – 2011: Copenhagen-Beijing at 2.5G (CERNET, supplied by TeliaSonera) – 2012: London-Beijing at 2.5G (CSTNET, supplied by China Unicom as result of tender) – 2013&2014: London-Beijing at 10G (EU partners, supplied by China Unicom as result of tender)

ORIENTplus, the move to 10G 10 Gbit/s milestone reached on January 2nd, 2013 A 10G lambda between London and Beijing

CERNET: biggest NREN in China Fibre network backbone 100G(40λ) DWDM Core IP network backbone 100G 31 provinces and over 200 cities 38 PoPs Over 2000 universities and institutes 30M users

CSTNET: S&T Network in China Backbone 10G 12 sub centers Over 20 provinces Over 100 research institutes Over 1M end users

Back-up for ORIENTplus Distance London – Beijing: 8250 km (ATCF) IP backup for ORIENTplus link through: – 10G Internet2/NSF link Beijing – Los Angeles – Internet2's routed IP network – ACE Project's multi-10G North Atlantic lambdas ORIENTplus is also backup for Beijing-Los Angeles, as a mutual backup Thus, creating a multi-G IP routed infrastructure for R&E across the Northern Hemishpere

Link Usage (1) Over 25 substantial scientific and educational collaborative projects and programmes are using the ORIENT/ORIENTplus route:  CERN Collaboration: LHC project (IHEP-IN2P3), South East University with CERN  Shanghai Astronomical Observatory – JIVE  INFN-ARGO YBJ  EMBnet  EUChinaGrid  GEONETCast- EUMETSAT  1000 Genomes Project

 INWA-GRID  CEOP-AEGIS and DRAGON2  Shanghai Jiao Tong University – University of Essex  Bridge-Grid  ITER - the global fusion energy programme  Global atmospheric research, remote robotic experiments, etc. Link Usage (2)

Future Plans Further develop shared operations of the link between CNGI-6IX NOC and GEANT NOC Deployment of tools and services for R&E such as: – PerfSONAR – eduroam – Dynamic point to point links, using the Open Grid Forum's NSI Architecture Stimulating the use of the link
