5. Objectives Enable HEAnet and NORDUnet to provide IP Network Services to their users enhancing their service portfolio. Improve research communities activities and optimize the efficiency of use of e-Infrastructures. Deploy an operational IP Network as a Service Refine and expand the Mantychore services provided by means of integrating, with IaaS tools, solutions for optical and Ethernet/MPLS networks. Integrated Layer 1-3 services Innovate in the business model, establishing a marketplace where all Infrastructure Providers can publish their available resources. Customers can automatically negotiate the SLAs getting the best resource combination for their needs. Marketplace for resource trading Use Mantychore services to contribute to the research performed in the GreenStar Network (GSN) project to enable carbon-neutral infrastructures. Carbon-neutral e- Infrastructures Evaluate the likehood of Mantychore services (open source based) in a commercial telco environment and elaborate a business plan focused on this service for telco operators.
