Hinweis der Redaktion
- Thanks for joining us Introduce yourself I’m going to provide an overview of the Géant organisation and some of the services that we offer.
- Géant is a pan-European collaboration that’s been working for the last 20 years. It exists to raise European research to the next level Promoting scientific excellence through access and re-use of research data We aim to making Europe the best connected region in the world To allow European researchers to conduct world-class research in collaboration with the peers around the world To do this we run a membership association of Europe’s National Research and education networks, co-ordinate and p articipate in EC-funded projects, we operate a pan-European e-infrastructure, manage a portfolio of services for research and education, as well as organising and running community events and working groups.
- We’re a membership organisation Supporting over 40 National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) across Europe Together we connect to 10,000 institutions and around 50 million academic users. How this would work for you is that if you were based in Greece for example and you had a query about network connectivity, you would contact your local NREN, GRNET in this case, for assistance. If the problem existed between GRNET and Italy for example, that is where we would come in. We would act as the co-ordinating help desk on a pan-European level.
- Our income is derived from membership fees and subscriptions, from the NRENs and commercial partners EC also contribute towards the cost share with the NRENs
- We have an interesting governance structure in that we’re OWNED by the NREN members and they are our CUSTOMERS. The organisation has been running for around 20 years. As an organisation we’re governed by the General Assembly which consists of all the European NRENs A subset of the NRENs are voted to form the Géant board. They manage and administer the organisation We then have various committees, made up of the board and the CEO which provide oversight on various activities Day to day operations are managed by the Géant executive, led by the CEO. Current Interim CEO: Erick Huizer Current Chair of the board is Christian Grimm from the German NREN: DFN
- GÉANT is a trusted European Commission (EC) partner for many projects. Because we’ve been so successful we’ve taken the Géant model and replicated this in other parts of the world. We operate the European e-infrastructure Géant network We run project for Authentication and Authorisation for research collaboration. We work with other e-infrastructures to address the trust and identity issues that we collectively share. Because we’ve been so successful in the way we’ve run the Géant project. we’ve taken the Géant model and replicated this in other parts of the world. Such as Africa Connect 2, CAREN, EaP Connect and EUMED Connect 3,TANDEM and Magic
- We operate an 500 Gb pan European optical network Currently around 3.9 Petabytes of data pass across the network per day We connect not just the 40 plus European NRENs but peer internationally with partner organisations in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. We’ve recently launched an interactive map of our global network at map.geant.org. Please have a look if you have a moment.
- The network is a separate ultra-high-speed internet, only for research & education Has an average monthly access availability of 100% Running a dedicated 24x7 operations centre to deal with any outage that is detected The network is designed to stay ahead of user demand, always ensuring uptime and reliability.
- Our largest user is CERN, a third of all daily traffic on our network comes from this organisation.
- GÉANT manages and develops a portfolio of specialist services members need to support researchers, educators and innovators – at national, European and international levels. We cover: Network services Trust and identity Storage and clouds Real-time communications And Professional services
- We have a lot of experience with trust, identity and Security. A heritage going back to 2001 Eduroam - probably the most famous service we provide. Global wifi roaming for the research and academic community, with over 250 million authentications per month eduGAIN - federation of federated identity providers, allows for example single-sign-on between universities and projects, connects over 50 million users to over 1700 service providers globally. AARC – Géant leads the Authentication and Authorisation for Research Collaboration project, group developing a framework for AAI across e-infrastructures, research collaborations, libraries and federations. REFEDS – We provide secretariat support for the Research and education federation group, represents the requirements of research and education in access and identity management. TF-CSIRT – Computer security incident response teams task force, co-ordinating training, services and knowledge-exchange for security teams world wide. Christos Kanellopoulos from our project development team who specialises in trust and Identity is here in the audience. If you have any queries please feel free to catch up either of us.
- Géant has developed a novel approach to cloud services by providing NRENs with the ability to offer services from a multitude of providers to their members. These are both commercial and NREN developed cloud infrastructures. These would be accessible via your local NREN.
- Community is really important to us. To grow the various communities that we interact with we host and run a number of events and workshops. This has also lead to developments of innovative technologies and services which benefit everyone in those communities. We build the communities through conferences, special interest groups and task forces, Research programs and the development of bespoke services. For more information on the conferences that we’re currently organising, please see our website – just search for Géant events using your preferred search engine.
- GÉANT actively engages with a broad range of user communities We engage with Small, large and very large user organisations. Engagement is determined not by size, but if your project crosses European boarders. We only deal with projects or organisations that are international in nature, both across Europe and world wide. For projects or user communities located in only one country, we help them get in touch with their local NREN. Examples of Scientific user groups we liaise with: CERN and high energy physics community ESA by providing a dedicated academic connection to the Copernicus datasets for EO EUMETSAT SKA and others for radio astronomy We provide services for other e-infrastructures such as EGI, PRACE and CLARIN We work with future internet projects And the life sciences scientific community Amongst others Why we’re here today: To listen to you, to find out how we can help you.
- Just before I finish, I’d like to mention that Géant is committed to implement the European Open Science Cloud. Géant is working to support the European Open Science cloud initiative through collaboration in EOSC Pilot, e-infracentral and from January, the EOSC Hub project.
- Hopefully this gives you an idea of what we do and who we support. We’re here to listen to your requirements and to explore what we can do to help you, to better engage with your community.
