  19. RoEduNet - Romanian Education Network • RoEduNet is an organization and in the same time a data communication system which connects a number of Local Area Networks through their Central Access Nodes to a national WAN (Wide Area Network) data communication infrastructure, operated by NSP (Network Service Provider) nodes in Bucharest, Iasi, Tirgu Mures, Cluj, Timisoara, Craiova and Galati. The aim of this technical complex is to offer the participants - universities, cultural and scientific nonprofit institutions - the means to communicate with each other as well as to have access to Internet. • RoEduNet enrolled as a Regional Academy in the Cisco Networking Academy program (a cooperative venture between educational institutions and Cisco, the world leader in networking for Internet). On-going projects: • Bucharest: upgrade the Internet connection • All: creating RoEduNet POP’s in every county of Romania

  23. RoGRID Consortium • International Advisory Board: • H. Newman, I. Legrand (Caltech, US) • I. Foster, M. Wilde (ANL, US) • F. Gagliardi, H. Hoffmann, D. Williams (CERN) • K. Hazward (Rand Worldwide). • FP6 I3:Enabling Grids for E-science • and industry in Europe (EGEE). • Co-ordinator: CERN. Participants: 27 countries. • FP6 SSA:South Eastern European • GRid-enabled e-Infrastructure • Development (SEE-GRID). • Co-ordinator: GRNET. 10 participants. • Strategy of GRID development in • Romania • Financial support: MECT (Min. Ed., Res. & Youth). • Specifications for a metropolitan • GRID infrastructure • Financial support: MECT.

  24. GRID infrastructure development • Medium-size computing centre • # of processors: 32 – 256. • Power: 50 – 500 kSI2K. • Storage: 1.5 – 20 TB. • Links: 100 Mbps – 10 Gbps. • Manpower: 10 – 30 specialists. Smaller size: 25 %.

  25. MAGGI Consortium • Goals: • to define strategies according to RoGRID , able to coordinate the efforts of all members on promoting and using grid technologies; • to link all members with on-site high speed network permanently updated; • to set-up a distributed test-bed, used by all members; • to participate with common projects, able to improve the distributed local infrastructure up to a Tier2 requirements until 2007.

  26. MAGGI → ROMGRID • ROmanian Măgurele GRID – legal body • non-guvernmental & non-profit organization • 18 founding institutions: physics (5 national institutes, 1 faculty, 1 association), health (3), data communication (2 - RoEduNet, RDS), space sciences (2), enginering (2), finances (1), sport (1). Goals: • High-speed network • Common projects and applications • Regional Computing Center in IFIN-HH

  27. IFIN-HH, the largest and the most representative research institute from Romania, has a long and valuable experience not only in nuclear and particle physics but also in computing. Our participation in the LHC program at CERN requires GRID resources and indicates IFIN-HH as the main candidate from Romania for a Tier 2 Regional Computing Center. Romania has to improve rapidly its data communication infrastructure at European standards. IFIN-HH is interested to participate in the LCG program at CERN. Hopefully, a national program for implementing GRID activities in Romania will be launched next year. Romania is going to become soon a CERN member state. Romanian physics research, already for a long time on the world scientific map, accelerates our integration process in international structures. Romania is preparing for the next joining wave to the EU. Conclusions & Outlook
