  38. On-going Development Optical HARNET • a high-speed multi-gigabit optical network infrastructure for the Next Generation HARNET • provides on-demand lambda bandwidth between institutions for research applications • connecting advanced international R&E optical networks

  39. On-going Development Optical HARNET – prospective applications • high Performance and GRID computing applications • multi-party high-quality high-definition videoconferencing • VOIP (Voice Over IP) deployment • off-site disaster recovery data centers • remote SAN through fibre-channel connections • tele-medicine, digital libraries, virtual classrooms, etc.

  40. On-going Development Optical HARNET – initial set-up • a 10Gbps dual-ring backbone • fiber diversity • on-demand services of at least two 1G Ethernet ports and one 2G Fiber channel port at each institution

  41. On-going Development Optical HARNET – initial set-up • flexibility in new lambda setup • support future expansion using WDM technologies with minimum 16 lambdas • supports bandwidth allocation at the sub-lambda level for easy re-configuration • CODEC for high-quality video transmission

  42. Future Directions • Continue to develop JUCC’s leadership in Next Generation networks in HK • Increase cooperation with international high-speed R&E networks • Develop high-quality video- conferencing over IP network • Foster inter-institutional and international cooperation on network security, new IT technologies, applications and training
