  18. EUMEDIS 155Mbps 5Gbps 2Mbps TEIN ALIS GÉANT international dimension: a world of opportunities

  19. GÉANT: Future challenges • Consolidate outreaching • Address the Terabits per second • Enhance “inclusiveness” (educational networks, libraries,...) • Strengthen links with industry • Anticipate “full” liberalization in telecommunications

  20. Technology Disruptive emerging Experimental Advanced All research disciplines Very demanding communities Research on networking GÉANT: One element of a strategy IPv6, Optical,... next generation Internet GRIDS GÉANT

  21. GRIDs: A new dimension in networking The GRID aims to create unprecedented computing and information power by linking individual machines over high-speed networks using advanced middleware.

  22. The Large Hadron Collider Project CERN GRIDs: Why do we need them… CERN... Storage – Raw recording rate 0.1 – 1 Gbps Accumulating at 5-8 PetaBytes/year 10 PetaBytes of disk Processing – 200,000 of today’s fastest PCs

  23. Automotive industry... GRIDs: Why do we need them… Industry... Mercedes Benz crash simulations - one run uses 100 h CPU 1.5 GB memory Storage

  24. GRIDs: A new dimension in networking The concept of GRIDs addresses the situation in which the bandwidth of the network blurs the frontiers of the computer… GRIDs deploys technologies that give users a seamless, secure access to a variety of data and computing resources… GRIDs integrate and adds value to networking, computing, middleware, security, knowledge engineering, ...

  25. GRIDs: Building virtual communities GRIDs address the needs of virtual communities and fosters the efficient exploitation of the huge investments in research infrastructures: • High Energy Physics • Earth & Space Observation • Environment • Bio-sciences and Health • Industrial design/simulation/visualization • ASP

  26. GRIDs: The European efforts EU supported GRIDs work complements national Programmes: • UK - eScience Programme • Italy - INFN Grid • Netherlands - DutchGrid • Germany - Unicore plus • France - Grid funding approved • Ireland - Grid-Ireland • Poland, Czech Republic - seed funding

  32. Portals; Application interfaces (including coupled/interactive applications) • Techniques for data search, mass storage, data analysis • Dynamic resource discovery and scheduling; Resource brokerage. • Connectivity services (e.g .advanced network reservation, QoS, access greater range of end-user facilities) GRIDs: Creating a solid technology base

  33. Security, including support for end-to-end business processes. • Management, with emphasis on accounting, performance. • Monitoring, including advanced visualization techniques. • Interoperability (at various levels, including Globus-Unicore interface, Windows applications). GRIDs: Creating a solid technology base

  34. IPv6: A new protocol for the new Internet • Interconnecting a myriad of “personal” devices ... • Going mobile… • … and “always-on”… • Restoring the end-to-end model • Consumer electronic products IP enabled…

  35. IPv6: Business case • IPv6 is designed to improve upon IPv4's scalability, security, ease-of-configuration, and network management… • These issues are crucial to the competitiveness and performance of all types of network-dependent businesses.

  36. RIPE NCC ARIN APNIC IPv4 addresses allocation ARIN: 74% RIPE NCC: 17% APNIC: 9% IPv6: IPv4 address space • Risk of global IPv4 addresses becoming critically scarce by 2005 • Uneven distribution of the address space

  37. IPv6: A coordinated strategy • Technological components • Experimentation in large testbeds • Integration of fixed and mobile • Co-operation with IPv6 Forum • Launching of IPv6 Task Force • Communication to the Council and Parliament

  38. IPv6: Why testbeds • Considering the level of standardization, the availability of technology, the scale of current experimentation, the emergence of applications and the need to accelerate the uptake of this technology… Large scale testbeds, involving the right set of actors, emerge as an ideal way to structure, consolidate and integrate European efforts on IPv6.

  39. To Japan • 6NET To NorthAmerica • EURO6IX To Korea IPv6: Major testbeds • Native IPv6 at: 34 Mbps, 155 Mbps, 2,5 Gbps • Pan-European coverage

  40. FP6: Research networks related work • Establish a high capacity and high speed communications network for all researchers in Europe (GEANT) and specific high performance Grids and test-beds (GRIDs). • Create large-scale distributed systems & platforms, including Grid-based systems to solve complex problems in areas like the environment, energy, health, transport, industrial design. 300 MEuro

  41. Conclusions • EU is actively promoting Information Society in Europe • Networking for Research is a imp ortant priority for EU policy • With the support of the IST Programme and in the context of the eEurope action plan, a new generation backbone for research has been launched • In parallel, EU is investing in networking technologies such as GRIDS to support highly demanding user community
