14. RedIRIS: user satisfaction ● RedIRIS has ISO 9000 quality certification for its main procedures ● As part of this certification, there are two annual quality surveys – with very positive results so far 14 Source: Yearly satisfaction survey 2013 – Mx. Value: 6 – Minimum Red.es goal: 4 out of 6 ● Additional detailed on-line survey about each service in the RedIRIS catalogue ● More feedback obtained in RedIRIS distribution lists, Working Groups and Annual Event (approx. 400 attendees – considered by university ICT managers as their main annual event)

21. RedIRIS-NOVA : the dark fiber project 12.000Km dark fiber 2.000Km submarine cables Cross border fiber wth Portugal Long-term IRU network 21 years for the peninsula and 30 years for Canary Islands Much more bandwidth and more services possibilities 80x10G, 60x40G ó 100G (terrestrial links) 128x10G (submarine links) Cost 104 M€ (49M€ FEDER) Save over 50M€ over the previous model 20092010201120122013 Phase 1: start operation Competitive Dialog with 23 companies 21 2014

22. Competitive dialogue for RedIRIS-NOVA ● Pioneers (first case in the Spanish Administration – in a tender of up to 138M€, with very tight schedule, for a complex contract requiring services not yet available as such “off-the-shelf” in the market) ● Preceded by Request for Information (RFI) ● Competitive Dialogue announced at the EU Official Journal ● 25 bidders – 2 bids were rejected, 23 bidders (9 fiber providers, 14 optical equipment providers) invited to participate  Accepted bidders could eventually reach agreements for joint bids ● Four rounds of negotiation took place  making it possible to ensure that RedIRIS requested high performance solutions at affordable prices, which could be provided by enough companies to ensure adequate competition ● The competitive dialogue had finally three different lots:  one for dark fiber in mainland Spain,  one for dark fiber for the Canary islands,  one for optical equipment ● Final result was very positive as regards both technical parameters and price 22

23. Competitive dialogue: Need to find a balance 23 Best service Cheapest price Increase number of bidders Include more compulsory requirements More time to look for the best solution Make procedure as short as possible for bidders Work with many potential providers Minimize bid management effort and costs

26. Optical regional networks Regional Photonic Links based on RedIRIS photonic network (which maintain homogenous control plane) ● Extend RedIRIS-NOVA fiber footprint to reach RN points.  Great opportunity to improve the RN infrastructure User Service Enhacement RedIRIS Support Costs: – 12.500 km of fiber with national coverage – Favorable results when number of fiber kms are bigger.  Agreements with Regional Governments  Current tender allows to reach 108 additional PoPs (phase I)  New tenders would be launched as needed (phase II) 26

27. Shared cloud services 27 Situation at the ICT institutions ● Self-provision of services ● Technologic islands ● Lack of standardization ● Complex management ● Problems to invest and evolve Possible improvements ● Identify common, standard solutions ● Cost savings ● Easier deployment and update ● Public-private partnership Possible cloud services ● Hosting ● Virtualization ● Servers (IaaS) ● Desktop ● Voice over IP ● IRISmail ● Electronic signature ● Web conference Tasks ahead ● Identify appropriate areas for cooperation ● Make use of the network ● Calculate savings ● Establish legal framework (for procurement and for data protection) ● Define launch phase (cost-recovery, initial take-up expected to be slow)
