  2. Janet6 backbone progress • dark fibre contract • SSE Telecoms – signed end July 2012 • optical equipment contract • Ciena – signed early September 2012 • roll-out • fibre footprint and points-of-presence • optical equipment final design and build • IP and Lightpath equipment requirements • Janet NOC staffing and process changes • communications • overview publications • online briefings

  3. e-Infrastructure additions • funding currently available • £10m contribution to “day 1” backbone • £12m to extend backbone to academic research sites of strategic importance and not already attached via dark-fibre • £4m to enable industrial access to and use of e-infrastructure • additional backbone sites • In agreement with the Research Councils • genomics: Norwich and Hinxton campuses • meteorology: Exeter (UK Met Office) • “Thames Valley” triangle ... RAL/Oxford/Reading • biomedicine: London (Francis Crick Institute) • Janet Aurora dark-fibre test-bed • continuation and re-configuration beyond October 2013

  4. e-Infrastructure business planning • e-Infrastructure Leadership Council • early BIS draft under discussion • five-year plan (2012-2017) • funding for facilities to be used by academe & industry ... • software and algorithms • cybersecurity, authentication, resilience • high-capacity communications • HPC hardware (ARCHER, PRACE) • storage resources • skills development, knowledge transfer • data preservation • Council response to date ...

  5. Use of remaining existing funding? • ~£3m from backbone extension + £4m for industrial access • academic • further expansion of backbone footprint? • [individual HEI campus network upgrades?] • industrial • financial support to piloting industrial use of resources on Janet? • link to regional and national HPC? • link to TSB Catapult Centres? • resolution of state-aid and other regulatory issues • both • AAI: productisation & further development of Moonshot technology? • higher IA facilities for commercial data? • skills development for effective use of high-performance networks?
