Use of DANTE or other Internet providers

May 2010 Outcome of the presentation by Dante and Janet en February 2010 at ECMWF

May 2010 Outcome of the presentation by Dante and Janet en February 2010 at ECMWF  Géant NOCs : level 1 service desk 24/7  Geant NOCs: level 2 and 3 technical support  Private network (dedicated capacity) for bandwidth higher than 1 Gbps  Service contracts would be with each NREN (National Research Network), which have their specific GTR and opening hours for level 1 support

May 2010 Discussion after the workshop about Dante  Participants : Norway, Italy, Deutschland, Sweden, ECMWF and France  Considering the following points : –Dante don’t propose private network for bandwidth lower than 1 Gbps –Countries joining Dante must use their own NRN : The GTR are not the same depending on each country (10 hours for Janet) Level 1 help desk is generally not available during nights and week- ends  Dante doesn’t match our prerequisites

May 2010 Other Internet provider  No meeting with other Internet provider  The Internet providers will not be the same in all countries –No common SLA for every country –Two different help desks if there is a problem between 2 countries  Any other Internet provider is not suitable for operationnal exchanges
