3. 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

4. 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

5. 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
