Janet6
Janet6: Core Fibre and Backbone
Resilience
• Similar topology to SJ5.
• Two north-south paths
• New east-west path from
  Birmingham to Nottingham
   – Erdington to Lowdham
• New PoP in Acton, West
  London
Current Status
Lighting the fibre

• Multi-wavelength optical transmission equipment
• „Native‟ capacity on the core to be 100Gbit/s per wavelength
    • Theoretically up to 80 channels/waves
• Roadmap towards 400Gbit/s and 1Tbit/s per wave during
  network lifetime
• Will be more reconfigurable than SJ5
    – Flexible optical engineering
• Coherent regional and backbone optical engineering
    – one network with edge-to-edge optical services
• Janet will manage the network directly (not outsourced)
    – Optical, Layer2, IP
e-Infrastructure
Networking
Janet – e-Infrastructure networking
• £26M    With HEFCE – Announced Autumn 2011

Breakdown

• £10M    Contribution to Janet6 backbone

• £12M Network provision within “classic” Janet
  community, including key locations which may need additional
  fibre access

• £4M     “Industry connection”
e-Infrastructure programme support

• Janet CTO Bob Day on e-Infrastrcuture Leadership Council (ELC)
• Paul Lewis secondment to BIS programme Office
   – ELC secretary
   – 8 months
• STFC secondment
   – Michael Wilson
   – ELC secretary
   – funded from Janet’s e-Infrastructure allocation
e-Infrastructure Strategic Sites

• Identify additional fibre / capacity requirements
• Work with organisations to understand strategic requirements
• Build cases for provision

• Integrate provision with deployment of Janet6
Requirements – derive from Patterns of use

• Data movement – working patterns
   – How much – data volume ?
        • Beware Bytes vs. bits !
   –   How quickly ?
   –   How often ?
   –   Where to ?
   –   National & International
• Network engineers need bit-rates !
• Working with research communities to understand
  emerging/evolving/strategic requirements

  etc.), Oxford
Industry access to academic e-Infrastructure

• “Access”
   – Access to Janet community knowledge & expertise
   – Access to community systems & resources connected to Janet
   – Network connections
      • Through existing provision & peerings
      • Direct to Janet
• Evaluate what is appropriate
Industry connecting to Janet

• Possible for many years
   –   “bona-fide” Industry/Academic R&D collaboration
   –   Industry funds connection (marginal cost) plus an access fee
   –   NOT a general “Internet” connection
   –   Must have a separate connection for normal business
• More recently
   – Janet Business & Community Engagement Policy (BCE)
       • Academic site hosts a connection
       • SME / Startup
       • Share a portion of their access capacity
       • Local decision
           – Consider costs & state-aid issues
e-Infrastructure – Janet activities

• HPC consortia discussions
    – Specific / preferred Industry partners ?
• Clarify state-aid issues
    – Understand boundaries
    – What can & can’t be done
    – Andrew Cormack – Janet’s Chief Policy Adviser
       • Plus Consultancy
    – Broader European dimension
       • e-Infrastructure reflection Group (e-IRG)
• Discussions
    – Technology Strategy Board (TSB)
    – Catapult Centres
Case Studies

• Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG)
   – Connection being established
   – 1 Year
   – Evaluate benefits
• HPC Consortia
   – Pilot connections with a selected Industry partner ?
   – Approach being considered
• Generic connections issue within Janet
   – Industry – Academic OK
   – Industry – Industry is the challenging area
   – Policy study will clarify
       • Perhaps “pre-competitive” notions will help
Access Management and Authentication

• Important issues for use of computing facilities
• Strong interest in greater uniformity/integration within UK HPC
  community
   – Janet promoting a more versatile technology
   – Single sign-on, not web based
   – Project Moonshot

Lighting the fibre • Multi-wavelength optical transmission equipment • „Native‟ capacity on the core to be 100Gbit/s per wavelength • Theoretically up to 80 channels/waves • Roadmap towards 400Gbit/s and 1Tbit/s per wave during network lifetime • Will be more reconfigurable than SJ5 – Flexible optical engineering • Coherent regional and backbone optical engineering – one network with edge-to-edge optical services • Janet will manage the network directly (not outsourced) – Optical, Layer2, IP
  • 14. Janet – e-Infrastructure networking • ÂŁ26M With HEFCE – Announced Autumn 2011 Breakdown • ÂŁ10M Contribution to Janet6 backbone • ÂŁ12M Network provision within “classic” Janet community, including key locations which may need additional fibre access • ÂŁ4M “Industry connection”
  • 15. e-Infrastructure programme support • Janet CTO Bob Day on e-Infrastrcuture Leadership Council (ELC) • Paul Lewis secondment to BIS programme Office – ELC secretary – 8 months • STFC secondment – Michael Wilson – ELC secretary – funded from Janet’s e-Infrastructure allocation
  • 16. e-Infrastructure Strategic Sites • Identify additional fibre / capacity requirements • Work with organisations to understand strategic requirements • Build cases for provision • Integrate provision with deployment of Janet6
  • 17. Requirements – derive from Patterns of use • Data movement – working patterns – How much – data volume ? • Beware Bytes vs. bits ! – How quickly ? – How often ? – Where to ? – National & International • Network engineers need bit-rates ! • Working with research communities to understand emerging/evolving/strategic requirements
