Some pills of history….Some pills of history…. 1973 - 1990 Many independent networks (INFNet, CNRnet, Universities

Consortium, ecc) 1987 the Gruppo Armonizzazione Reti della Ricerca (GARR) is born

The goal of the group is to interconnect the different sub-network

1990-1994: GARR-1 The first unified academic and research network in Italy but based on

distributed management 1994-1998: GARR-2 improves the management (by INFN-CNAF)

Sharing of the national backbone costs Development of international connectivity

1998-2003 GARR-B(roadband) co-funded by the Ministry of University and Research, using european funds

for underdeveloped regions it’s the first national infrastructure shared by the whole GARR user community

2001 Consortium GARR is born as a legal entity (Fond. CRUI, CNR, ENEA, INFN) 2003-2008 GARR-G(iganet) 2009-2015 : GARR-X(cross-connect) ….

Funding sourcesFunding sources

The 4 Founding Members They share the financial risks related to GARR

activities and contribute directly to the budget Contributes based on n. of links, aggregated access

bandwidth, end-to-end links, ecc..

The Associated members They contribute to GARR budget only in

proportion to the services they receive from GARR the costs of the local loopslocal loops for each connected site the accessaccess to the GARR network and the transit to other

networks (NREN’s and general Internet) the GARR ServicesServices

Some of them contribute through special projects funded by Some of them contribute through special projects funded by the supervisor Ministry (for ex. the supervisor Ministry (for ex. Institutes for Research in Institutes for Research in Health Care IRCCSHealth Care IRCCS) )

The GARR network and its services are dedicated to the Italian Research, Academic and Education communities Research Organizations, Universities, Observatories, Laboratories,

Institute for Research in Health Care (IRCCS), Academies of Art and (some) Music Conservatories …

few Schools

few Libraries and Museums, despite the huge Italian cultural and artistic heritage

other Scientific and Educational Facilities of national and international relevance

more than 2 Millions end users

more than 400 sites connected

most of them directly to GARR PoP’s

The User CommunityThe User Community Users in this vast community may widely

differ from one another in terms of their use cases, demands and expectations

GARR does not operate a “strict” users’ segmentations and does not have specific groups portfolios

GARR adapts services and their understanding to users environment

GARR tries to create new services crossing users’ groups boundaries, and drawing from users’ common practices in their “traditional” enrironment

GARR-X is the Project for the GARR network evoultion in the next (at least) 6 years

The GARR-X network implementation starts second half of this year (GARR-X Phase 0) Fibers and circuits procurement issued

Contracts subscription is underway Equipment procurement to be issued in the

next month The transition from GARR-G network to

the new infrastructure will take place through a continuous process

The GARR network tomorrowThe GARR network tomorrow


19

Increasing the flexibility and the efficiency of the technical and economic model of the network

Keeping pace with user requirements

Providing the same services everywhere in the country

Why GARR-X?Why GARR-X?


20

The key evolution factorsThe key evolution factors Long term leasing of optical fibres (both for

backbone and access) under the exclusive control of GARR

Acquiring and installing new generation equipments (router and photonic) High level of reconfiguration Multi lambda capacity on the same fibre pair (10

Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s and transition to 100 Gbit/s when available)

The direct control and management of the whole network infrastructure (today only at IP level)


21

The GARR-X network The GARR-X network characteristicscharacteristics

Low incremental costs for the network infrastructure evolution (after the first bulk investment)

Flexibility to satisfy the (present and future) users requirements Implementing dedicated networks on GARR-X

infrastructure for special groups of users in order to support specific services or applications

Integration with extended Campus LAN, MAN and RAN

Low cost and high bandwidth guaranteed access to the network FastEthernet, 1Gigabit and 10Gigabit Ethernet on

Optical fibre (preferred solution 1Gbit/s) Direct circuit by telco operators (<1Gbit/s) Circuits aggregations by means of telco operators

network (<100Mbit/s)

The users’ benefits (1/2)The users’ benefits (1/2) Higher network access capacity

The aggregate network access capacity will raise of about 50% in the first year and four times in 6 years

Better performances Reduced delay and jitter for the Real-time applications Reduced time for faults detection and resolution

New services Dedicated end-to-end circuits on the whole country Bandwidth on-demand Optical private networks and L2/L3 MPLS VPN Storage and Local Area Network Extension (Disaster

Recovery applications) … also extended to international multi domain
