  1. The GRID and the Cardiff LAN upgrade Tom Wiersma INFOS 22 July 2003

  2. The Cardiff LAN upgrade A major joint project involving Cardiff University and the University of Wales College of Medicine to install a high speed local area network. SRIF funding targets GRID and research stakeholders and HEFCW Teaching and Learning funding ensures campus wide connectivity. GRID and Cardiff LAN

  3. GRID and Cardiff LAN • Pervasive Networks LTD Contract Holders • Foundry Hardware • 10 GE backbone moving to 40 GE • 1000 Gigabit Server Connections • 20,000 100 Mbps user outlets • “Next Generation” hardware (2004) • Up to 100 Virtual NetScreen Firewalls

  4. GRID and Cardiff LAN Modular design methodology, allowing organic growth and based on: • Core – Very High throughput switches and fibres linking major locations • Distribution – Providing high bandwidth high availability within major locations • Edge – Delivering services to customers
