  1. Janet Update GridPP – 22 Aug 2014 - Ambleside David Salmon

  2. Topics • Jisc / Janet status • Janet6 • GriddPP Networking forward look • Test networks • E-Infrastructure & industry – Janet Reach… • Cloud & datacentre comments

  3. Jisc / Janet • Two companies • Jisc- now a charity – the holding company • Jisc Collections and Janet – a wholly owned subsidiary • Governance • Universities UK, Guild HE, Association of Colleges (AoC) - 30% each • Institutional - 10% • Janet network charge / Jisc subscription model • Jisc wrote to all organisations connected to Janet • Charging model changed – commencing this August (14/15) • Details on Jisc web site • Some rationalisation taking place • See Jisc web site – “Front of House”

  4. Janet 6 • Optical 40/100G • Long term – 10+ years for fibre leases • Transmission equipment refresh after ~7+ years • Roadmap to next capacity increment per wavelength (400G ?) • More flexible optical architecture • Direct management of optical infrastructure • Huge capability for additional capacity • Continued integration of Regions

  5. Janet6 and e-Infrastructure fibre

  6. GridPP Networking forward look • Paper from GridPP management board • Very helpful – thanks ! • Discussions with Janet operations colleagues to incorporate into planning

  7. Site connectivity to Janet • Current Janet policy - provide IP capacity according to need • NO special arrangements for any T2 site - all Janet capacity provided to organisations • some sites have local arrangements permitting PP groups to route traffic selectively over site connections to Janet • Janet Network inherently very capable • enormous latent capacity • does cost money to enable this (and take time) • light extra 40/100 Gbit/s wavelengths • Procure extra access circuits

  8. London • Brunel - * • Imperial - * • QM - * • RHUL - * • UCL - * • Key: * means connected to Janet fibre

  9. NorthGRID • Lancaster - * • Liverpool • NNW fibre, should remain on fibre following regional reprocurement • Manchester - * • Sheffield • subject to YHMAN reprocurement

  10. ScotGRID • Edinburgh (ECDF - ACF) - * • Glasgow - * • Durham • regional re-procurement - looking into fibre options

  11. SouthGRID • Birmingham -* • Bristol -* • Cambridge -* • (Culham) -* • Oxford -* • RAL -* • Sussex– Janet fibretoHove – UniversityhasDarkFibretoconnect

  12. Ones to watch – no specific concerns though • (Liverpool) • Sheffield • Durham • NB – not on fibre doesn’t mean poor service ! • But, access circuits needed to provide connection • Extra capacity implies eitherupgrades or additional circuits

  13. Janet Testbed facilities • Aurora2 / NDFIS • SDN overlay

  14. NDFIS Topology

  15. NDFIS Topology Broader collaboration – NPL & Europe Harwell Oxford Campus – Satellite applications NPL

  16. Connecting “Testbeds” • SDNs / Openflow • Strong theme at the conference (other talks) • Desire to collaborate • Broader UK discussions • Maybe 10+ UK Universities interested in some way • Janet will help • modest Openflow overlay to interconnect/interact • Research Council funded projects • TOUCAN – EPSRC Programme Grant • Bristol, Edinburgh, Lancaster • £12M (£6M+£6M) – 5 Years • Photonic – Layer2 – Access (Wireless +??) • Other smaller individual projects

  17. Four node topology Edinburgh • Maybe 2 physical 10G paths per node • Others would be VPNs/logical paths • Not determined precise configuration yet • NOT Exclusive, but only TOUCAN lead sites shown Lancaster North Midlands London Bristol Bristol GEANT…World

  18. SDN Overlay & Aurora2 • Janet service components • Layer 3 (IP) • Tunnels/VPNs • Layer 2 • Janet “Lightpaths” • Ethernet / MPLS • committed capacity • VPNs – uncommitted capacity - future • Layer 1 • Optical: whole wavelengths • 40G / 100G in core Edinburgh Lancaster North London Bristol Bristol GEANT…World

  19. Janet - e-Infrastructure & Industry • Outreach with moonshot pilot (AAI) • Connecting to Janet – Janet Reach • State aid compliant scheme • Industry organisation must apply • Innovative project • Meet state aid funding proportionalities • Janet connection value / total project value • Should be a high-capacity need • Scheme operating on 2 monthly cycles until around April 2015 (perhaps a little longer)

  20. Datacentres • Slough • Procurement & contracting complete • Janet Network provision in progress • Major centre on Janet • Very open - Tenants install their own racks & equipment • Anchor tenants • QM, Kings, LSE, UCL, Crick, Sanger • Open to all • Strong interest, probably more to come…

  21. Cloud • Building on brokerage work in past • Looking a central procurement of cloud “capacity/capability” • Cost savings through economies of scale ? • Soliciting requirements – what do people want ? • c.f. yesterdays discussions • Is there a requirement for elastic expansion into commercial capacity ? • Very interested in peoples views here
