  1. Establishing continental backbones "The DANTE/GEANT experience" E. Valente (GARR) International Workshop onAfrican Research & Education NetworkingSeptember 25-27 2005 CERN - Geneva, Switzerland

  2. What is GÉANT2? • 7th generation of pan-European research network infrastructure – first international hybrid network • Project partners include 30 of Europe’s national research and education networks (NRENs), DANTE and TERENA • Will connect 34 European countries and serve over 3500 research and education establishments across Europe • Over 3 Million Users

  3. What is GÉANT2? • Provide international connectivity to other world regions • Funded jointly by NRENs and European Commission • Project timescale September 2004 - August 2008

  4. GÉANT2’s Objectives • Provide a gigabit-speeds infrastructure to support European research and education • Provide a research infrastructure for network technology developments • Develop a wider range of network services • Performance monitoring • Security • Bandwidth on demand • Testbed facility • Mobility and roaming • Provide global connectivity for Europe’s research and education community

  13. The EUMEDGRIDinitiative is aimed to estabilish a Grid Infrastructure for eScience in the Mediterranean Area • connected with EGEE • and other related initiatives in the Balkans, North Europe, Latin America and Far-East Asia. • The EUMEDGRIDinitiative is intended to foster and promote the international cooperation in eScience as well as the growth of the Mediterranean Countries in the fields of Research and Industry. • EUMEDGRIDEUMEDGRID EUMEDGRID

  14. EUMEDGRID aims to provide specific support actions to assist the participation of the states of the Mediterranean region in the pan-European and worldwide Grid initiatives, thus expanding and supporting the European Research Area (ERA) in the region. • The core of the EUMEDGRID approach is to establish a human network in the eScience area, enlarge and train this community, and establish a pilot Grid infrastructure supporting proof of concept regional applications. • The reference GRID Infrastructure in Europe will be EGEE a 2 years project funded by the EU and started in April 2004. • EUMEDGRID will build upon and exploit the infrastructure provided by the Gigabit Pan-European Research & Education Network (GEANT) and the Mediterranean Research and Education Networking (EUMEDCONNECT) initiative in the region.
