The GRANDE project aims to design, build, and operate a comprehensive European GRID Testbed to facilitate advanced research. Key objectives include proving the viability of switched Gigabit Services tailored for the research community and assessing their value within carrier portfolios. The initiative, funded by the European Commission and partner organizations, focuses on enhancing GRID technologies, including Middleware development, optical networks, and Bandwidth on Demand. Collaborators encompass various NRENs and technology vendors, promoting a collaborative future for European research networks.
