  1. Enabling Science & Education in a Globalized economy René Buch CEO NORDUnetNordic Infrastructure for Research & Education

  2. Do you want to GO LARGE ?”Quoted from your friendly BK waiter down on the corner” Do we have a choice ?

  3. Scoping the challenge: • “The Global Information Grid will need to store and access exabytes of data on a realtime basis by 2010” • Dr. Henry Dardy, Optical Fiber Conference, Los Angeles, CA USA, Mar 2006 • “Each LHC experiment foresees a recorded raw data rate of 1 to several PetaBytes/year” • Dr. Harvey Neuman (Cal Tech) • “US Bancorp backs up 100 TB financial data every night – now.” • David Grabski (VP Information Tech. US Bancorp), Qwest High Performance Networking Summit, Denver, CO. USA, June 2006. • “The VLA facility is now able to generate 700 Gbps of astronomical data and will reach 3.2 Terabits per second by 2009.” • Dr. Steven Durand, National Radio Astronomy Observatory, E-VLBI Workshop, MIT Haystack Obs., Sep 2006.

  12. NORDUnet Vision Concurrent Synergies Concurrent, the simultaneous execution of multiple interacting tasks Synergy (from the Greek synergos, meaning working together) refers to the phenomenon in which two or more discrete influences or agents acting together create an effect greater than that predicted by knowing only the separate effects of the individual agents.
