The Nordic Gateway for Research & Education

NORDUnet is the preferred Nordic collaboration platform and coordinator towards the evolving global Research & Education communities. NORDUnet NORDUnet Mission Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education

• NORDUnet and the Nordic NRENs are an integrated part of Global Research and Education infrastructures and communities.

• NORDUnet delivers a best-in-class network integrating the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) of the five into the global research networks and the . We ensure that the Nordic researchers, educators and students have the capability to reach any user, any resource, anytime, anywhere.

• NORDUnet also delivers best-in-class services focused on the needs of the users through the Nordic NRENs.

• NORDUnet provides a collaboration platform for the Nordic NRENs.

• NORDUnet makes decisions based on input from the Nordic stakeholders and through carefully monitoring of Nordic, European and global trends and activities we ensure the best possible use of resources Through NORDUnet the Nordic NRENs speak with a unified voice to influence the European and Global NREN community.

Challenges ahead NORDUnet NREN Challenges Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education

NREN Challenges • Network Requirement are increasing: • Impacted by location of innovation, • Cloud computing • Online learning. • Funding for core services stagnating or diminishing. • Request for ICT Services in addition to network connectivity. • Definition of Research and Educational network are changing. Evolutionary Pressure: NRENs have to evolve from a research network connectivity provider to encompass: • Carrier Class Connectivity infrastructure • Media Services • Collaboration Services • ICT System Services • ICT and Cloud System Integration • Identity federation integration NORDUnet Service Matrix November 2015 Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education NORDUnet Where do the traffic flow ?

Danish Weather Service An example of HPC effect on Capacity Requirement NORDUnet Icelink and DMI Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education

The more volatile weather on the Danish horizon has prompted the Danish national weather forecaster DMI to invest in a new super computer that is about ten times more powerful than those it operates today. The super computer will be moved from its location on Lyngbyvej in Copenhagen to , where it will run on affordable green energy. Rasmus Helveg Petersen, the climate and energy minister: ”With more calculation power, DMI's meteorologists will have a better handle on the uncertainties in the prognoses,” ”Among other things, this will mean more precise weather predictions and more exact warnings.” The benefits of placing the computer in Iceland is that power on the island is produced via water power and geothermal energy, and is thus 100 percent CO2 neutral. The computer is also cheaper to cool due to the generally cool weather in Iceland, and the move saves 440 MWh per year. DMI tends to invest in a new super computer every six years because a continuous increase in calculation power will benefit the Danes in terms of more precise weather prediction models. The super computers cost around 7 million €.

http://gna-re.net/ NORDUnet Conclusion Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education

The NRENs needs to: • Work together on a local, regional and global scale. • Leverage local, regional and global infrastructure and explore synergies. • Avoid Duplication of Efforts and Parallel infrastructures. • Speak with one voice where applicable • Integrate with other e-Infrastructures • Close integration of AAI & Identity Federations • Address the global Knowledge Imbalance • Address the growing Security Implication of a global coherent infrastructure NORDUnet The Missing Links Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education

Obstacles to Regional & Global Integration: • Procurement legislation • The knowledge threshold • Uptake of delivery mechanisms for new services • Privacy Laws and Proctection • Regional & Global View restricted by regional or even personal agendas • Organizations focusing on their own internal agendas and not the Global Vision and opportunities • The "Not invented here syndrome” • Ridiculous Corporate EULA & Licensing NORDUnet Q & A Nordic infrastructure for Research & Education
