NORDUnet Current Network Design

NORDUnet B A C A: Lightweight. Mail, browsing. One-to-Many. B: Business, Streaming, VPN. Many-to-Many C: Scientific applications, distributed computation, Grids. Few-to-Few USERSUSERS BANDWIDTH Total traffic: C >> B >> A Network Users: A, B, C

NORDUnet Who Are The Heavy Users? Groups or Projects with (relatively) Few People Specific to one science area Shared resources International (global) collaboration Communication is mostly internal Sharing Scientific Instruments Radio-telescopes, CERN, microscopes,... Sharing Research Infrastructure Sharing Large Datasets or Compute Resources Genome Databases, Large-scale computation, Simulations, Visualization,...

NORDUnet Example: e-VLBI Very-Long Baseline Interferometry

NORDUnet Visualization iGrid2005 demonstration of visualization Simulation done in Amsterdam, display in San Diego Bandwidth: 19 Gbps A ”LambdaVision” display, using 55 LCDs Resolution: x pixels

NORDUnet How Do Heavy Users Affect the Net? Heavy users drive total network capacity Some Internet features are Expensive Many to Many All users can get everywhere Routes around damage Heavy applications don’t need all this Capacity + Routing drives cost. Solution: Offload heavy users to simple, private networks Expensive networks for the many with low volume Cheap networks for the few with lots of traffic

NORDUnet We Want To enable new ways of doing science A Hybrid Network IP for the masses Private networks (OPNs) for the heavy users Ability to build new networks in demand Handle capacity growth and control cost Ability to use new network technologies Rapid changes in the world of networking Collaboration is becoming global

NORDUnet The GLORIAD Collaboration

NORDUnet We Also Want To Enable Nordic participation in global Science Position the Nordic region in global research networks Be part of global networking collaborations Be a driver in European network evolution Have the facilities to act on international opportunities

NORDUnet NORDUnet – the Dream

NORDUnet NORDUnet Network ROADMAP Implement Nordic Optical Network Integrate to National Optical Networks Integrate NORDUfibre into international collaborations Cross Border Fibre Capability Establish fibre links to Netherlands & the East European Networking (GEANT) Establish NORDUnet Optical Exchange Initiate On-Demand Provisioning

NORDUnet NORDUfiber

NORDUnet Alcatel DWDM Up to 88 Channels 10 Gbps transponders 40 Gbps transponders Fully Reconfigurable OADM All interfaces are tunable over the complete C-band Optical protection

NORDUnet Alcatel TSS: SDH, Ethernet services SDH for interfacing to external and long-haul circuits 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps point-to-point and switched Ethernet Scales in any of the three dimensions Packet TDM WDM 1850 TSS 3 separate platforms 1 purpose-built convergence platform

NORDUnet IP Network on NORDUfiber

NORDUnet NorthernLight Open Optical Exchange Distributed Open Optical Exchange A meeting place for international network resources and capabilities Like an Internet Exchange, but for circuits Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo Open to local and international partners Offer user control of switching Facilitates global connectivity and network evolution

NORDUnet Multi-Domain Provisioning

NORDUnet e-Infratructure - Beyond Transport The network – a collection of capabilities Computing Resources Storage Databases Authentication, Authorization, Accounting Roaming Using remote resources Collaboration

NORDUnet Nordic Data Grid Facility (NDGF) A Collaborative Grid Production Facility Do for Grid Computing what NORDUnet has done for Research Networking Single Point of Entry for collaborations and e-Science projects Represent the Nordic Grid community internationally Coordinates Nordic Grid activities and sharing

NORDUnet Grids and Hybrid Networks Facilitating e-Science collaboration Hybrid Networks allows distribution and sharing of resources – local & global Grid allows researchers to take full advantage of advanced networks Complimentary views Computing as just another element in the Hybrid Network Networks as just another grid resource

NORDUnet One Grid & Network Organization Fits NORDUnet strategy – be an enabler One view of resources Project management for e-Science projects Enable Nordic collaboration and sharing Interfacing & collaboration One entry point for users One interface toward the global community Cost saving

NORDUnet The CERN LHC Experiment Will require vast amounts of storage and computation Distributed on the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid

NORDUnet A Nordic Tier-1 for WLCG Together we can host a WLCG center Build a virtual computer center from a collection of Nordic resources Integrate on one LAN Appear as one site on the WLCG

NORDUnet New NORDUnet Office

NORDUnet Summary NORDUfiber is a state-of-the-art hybrid network, with DWDM, SDH, Ethernet and IP layers. It will be operational in Q NORDUnet and NDGF will offer services at layer 4 and above NORDUnet and NDGF will continue to evolve – AAI, multi-domain provisioning, storage services, etc.
