National GRID Infrastructure

National Authority for Scientific ResearchSorin ZGURA,

Second Annual Meeting of the Tier 2 Federation

Vision Statement

In July 2005, according to the decision of the Ministry for Education and Research, the Task Force for the national Grid infrastructure was organized

The main goal of this Task Force is to promote a strategic plan for the pilot project entitled “Implementation of national the

Grid infrastructure”.

DONE

Specific Objectives

SO1: Gradual and balanced development of the national Grid infrastructure, based on active centers of competence and reuse of the results provided by national and international cooperation in the domain

SO2: Integration of the Romanian information society in a virtual global information

SO3: Increasing the scientific potential and the existing capacities for applied software development by integrating in a GRID global system; drawing of new resources for the research field; extending the impact of research results in economic and social fields.

SO4: Promotion of new specific Grid technologies in Romania, orientation of academic, research and business communities towards the new virtual global medium, as well as the training and specialization of human resources, and provision of transition towards the new system

SO5: Communication segment for the Romanian GRID framework

Today’s Situation

MoU for LCG (LHC Computing GRID) Collaboration has been signed by NASR

The Romanian Tier 2 Federation is organizing (see M.Dulea presentation)

ROSA applied for CA to EuGRID PMA, according to the decision of the NASR. ROSA has high level security ability to manage the classified information trough National RD Program “Security and Defense Research”

Agreement between the Government of Romania and Government of Hungary concerning Cooperation in GRID Infrastructure

RoEduNet applied SEELIGHT project to the HiPERB Program, NASR will supported the co-financing

Recommendations

For planning and coordination reasons the pilot project will be implemented as a national research programme, structured according the main layers of the Grid infrastructure: Broadband communication network, Grid architecture (resources and middleware), and Applications.

The Task Force will be in charge with the evaluation of results produced by the projects financed within the programme in order to assure their mutual compliance and their convergence with the programme objectives.

Grid infrastructure development and deployment processes will be based on reuse and exploitation of the results produced by EU co-funded research projects with Romanian participation; more specifically, the EGEE infrastructure solution will be implemented with the benefit of assuring the interoperability at regional and European level.

Financial resources

Financial support will be available based on projects. NOT institutional financing.

RoEduNet2 RoEduNet2 = DF based national infrastructure for 10 years

Access to one DF pair on the national network of “Telecomunicatii CFR” Access to high capacity circuits based on DWDM technology and to a scalable optical

network to provide necessary circuits for the national network for about 10 years

Major milestones of the project March 2006 – bilateral accord between the Ministry of Education and Research and the

Ministry of Transport has been signed – one pair of DF to be used for Romanian NREN

November 2006 - the feasibility study for the network has been finished by RoEduNet DWDM technology to be used

December 2006 – bilateral contract between RoEduNet and “Telecomunicatii CFR” has been concluded

Access to more about 4800 km of DF RoEduNet will provide necessary equipments to light up the fibre (DWDM equipments)

Q1/2007 – IP equipments installed in RoEduNet sites to support the new capacities to be provided by the photonic network

July 2008 – contract signed for optical equipments – 56 locations Installation to be done by November 2008

November 2008 – Optical network installed

December 2008 – Run internal tests for all circuits

January 2008 – reconfigure the IP network and install into production the new circuits13

RoEduNet2 – Photonic SiteMain advantages of the solution:

Separate Common Photonic Layer – CPLROADM enabled solution:

Reconfigurable lambda pathElectronic compensation of dispersion for

ROADM sitesAutomatic lambda reconfiguration pathsMoving any lambda within the network as long

as the total length does not exceed 1500 kmLambda on demand available – could be

offered as serviceResilience for each location (except for

one NOC – tackle for a solution)

Romanian Education Network18

RoEduNet2 – Numbers – for the 1st Phase

Dark Fiber Total length: 4238.8 km Number of segments: 46

Sites: In the premises of Telecomunicatii CFR: 48 RoEduNet: 8 – redundant connections to the sites of

Telecomunicatii CFR Type of sites:

ROADM: 18 ADM: 23 Amplifiers: 15

Romanian Education Network19

Future Plans - Infrastruture Install the local loop (metro fiber from the site of Telecomunicatii CFR

to RoEduNet POPs) for all cities where Optical circuits are installed 18 cities in Q1 – Q2/2009 15 cities in Q3 – Q4/2009

Complete the network with CDWM technology for stub POPs – to be upgraded to DWDM later (brown lines on the main topology picture)

Upgrade the metropolitan area network in Bucharest to 10 Gbps resilient on each MetroPOP

Upgrade the data centers in each NOC to reach conformity with international standards

At least 30 min on battery At least 10 hours on power generator Conformity with international standards

Install new POPs – no necessary in the county capitals – for the sites where there are high demand for network traffic

Romanian Education Network20

Future Plans - Services HelpDesk 24x24, 7/7

started – working hours available 5/7 Integrated monitoring services (NMS) and SLA monitor to

be finished and integrated with TTS

CSIRT – process started (www.csirt.ro) – to be accredited mid 2009 (in contact with TERENA CSIRT-TF)

Security threads probes to be installed and countermeasures to be taken automatically - integrated with GEANT plans

QoS – solutions from GEANT to be integrated (PERT) Lambda on demand to be made available for the connected

institutions
