Building the Infrastructure • ALICE Tenders: • Open Tenders + Negotiated Procedures • From 2004 the total lease cost for the backbone decreased by a factor of 10 and its speed increased 34 times • Sinergy with other projects: Astronomers, Cosmic Ray Observatories. • Cooperation with local or regional initiatives: MERCOSUR

  4. Sinergies with Internal Networks • Strategy of building Terrestrial networks with ability to carry internal traffic • Terrestrial Networks linking countries often go through main cities in countries • Dark Fibre wherever that is possible • Low cost to upgrade • Flexibility to use the adequate technology at any time • Flexibilty to create different physically separated networks for special purposes

  5. Key Factors • Strategic • Continent wide network is best suited to work with other continental networks: GEANT, APAN, Internet2+CANet, etc. • Short/Medium term • Construction of internal networks • Technical support • Economies of Scale for bandwidth purchases • Long term • Added value of collaboration to tackle regional issues • Federated services • Negotiation power for services: clouds, content, etc.
