7 HBONE+ network/2 National coverage of dark fiber ~ 90% DWDM Router! Installation in progress Extension of the distribution network! Ceragon FibAir Microwave systems Mbps! Locations: Esztergom, Pannonhalma, Pápa, Kalocsa, Gyula, Békéscsaba, Sopron, Piszkéstet! Provide more useful and up-to-date information to universities! User Portal/helpdesk AAI integration! Service management (including most of the services)! SLA reporting! Databases similar to GN2 I-SHARe 7. oldal

8 HBONE+ middleware Virtualised AAI services for smaller institutions Supporting federated authentication and authorisation European eduroam/ edugain compatibility Eduroam! 20 large universities HREF Hungarian Research and Education Federation /eduid! 13 large universities Home institute Federation Trust Service 8. oldal

9 HBONE+ HPC Supercomputing:! 3 universities (Debrecen, Szeged,Pécs) + NIIFI center! NUMA and cluster systems! Dedicated network capacity between the centers! min. 3 x 8-16 Tflops + NIIFI (2 TFlops)! National research and academic usage! Software stack: " LRMS, HPC libraries " programming environments, compilers, debuggers, profilers! National + European integration (EGEE, KnowARC, DEISA, PRACE) Storage:! 2 further universities! Dunaújváros, Sopron! national storage grid! initially min. 0.5 PByte capacity 9. oldal

10 HBONE+ HPC/2 HPC environment under preparation! Debrecen, Szeged, Pécs Supercomputers! Contracted Storage! Flexible Ethernet based solution Fujitsu Ethernus! 500 TByte cloud storage ready to be used Services! Cloud = distributed resource mgmt + virtualisation! Provide cloud computing services to universities! Strorage grid/cloud services for off-site backup! Web portal services to access (HPC/storage) grid services 10. oldal

11 HBONE+ collaboration Videoconferencing! 30+2 fullhd VC room systems installed at the universities! Centrally manageable SIP/ H.323, fullhd MCU! Desktop videoconferencing system Integrated with the existing videoconferencing system of NIIF/Hungarnet VOIP! Upgrading the existing Voice gateways! Supporting deployment of IP PBX systems 11. oldal

12 HBONE+ collaboration HD Videoconferencing! 30 x Polycom HDX Polycom RMX 4000 MCU + management! Installed and ready to be used Desktop videoconferencing systems! Vidyo Router/Gateway/Portal! Installed (testing in progress) VoIP Upgrading the existing Voice gateways! 35 x Cisco 2811 Voice bundle replacing old Cisco 5350s 12. oldal

13 Past experience of DF rental attempts ! DF offers price below STM-1 rentals for 5 years! NIIF/Hungarnet was not ready for using DF ! DF offers only in and around Budapest we started to use them ! We asked explicitly DF/Lit Fibre/STM-16/10GE DF about 2x price of 10GE ! After informal discussions with the Telcos we expected 80-90% coverage of Hungary with similar price to previous tender! Tender result with 1.5 years provisioning time " DF price about 10x of single 10GE Telcos realised: no more fibres " No competition just 3 country-wide providers (1-2 offers per regions) " No offer for Year IRU, only 5 years rental " Failure 13. oldal

14 Current experience with DF Re-negotiation with all Telcos! Lack of fiber only 3 country-wide providers " Incumbent DF available ~ 10x10G price " Alternative inefficient usage of fibres, extensive traffic engineering needed " Electricity company limited capacity in OPGW, far from cities! Expensive to lease dark fibre! You don t need all capacity which become available! Sharing/cooperation Proposal - Hungarian Electricity Company! Shared usage of fibre - share the DWDM resources on lambda basis! NIIF/Hungarnet buy and operate the DWDM system! HEC uses the alien wavelengths! HEC provides equipment housing 14. oldal

15 Technical details of proposal Framework contract (8 years) with IRU! 90% coverage of Hungary ~ 3000 km fibre! Shared usage in C-Band - at least 40" on fibre-pairs! Lambdas are engineered to support 40G, maybe 100G also! Housing locations in every ~ km! Two partners shared view to the entire network - shared mgmt system! Two mgmt domains to maintain own lambdas 15.

16 HBONE+ network coverage 16

17 HBONE+ network coverage /2 Cable types backbone is OPGW! ITU-T G.652B / G.652D! Coverage: 79 PoPs, ~3200 Km Challenges! Redundant fibre path between the core PoPs L1 and L3 point of view! Separate tenders for local-loop DFs done on time delivery?! Housing requirements before finishing the DWDM equipment tender! PMD on OPGW 17.

18 Tender results Process: competitive negotiation (together with L3 equipments) 2010 February-August 10 equipment vendors DWDM Equipment - Alcatel-Lucent PSS-1830! 80 channel system with 40 channel licensed! Engineered for 40G/100G capability, Only EDFA amplifiers, distance up to 1000 km! Mostly 10GE lambdas, some 40G lambda used in the system with muxponders! WSS ROADMs + terminal multiplexers + Colorless/Tunable Transponders! No optical restoration but free channel capacity to reroute "! Device managed by NIIF/Hungarnet with maintenance contract for long period IP/MPLS Equipment Cisco ASR9000 series routers! MEF Carrier Ethernet/MPLS SP Platform! 92 (184) Gbps slot capacity! Cisco IOS-XR Modular OS! Green design! Device managed by NIIF/Hungarnet with maintenance contract for long period 18.

19 Hybrid Network Services - development Lightpath Service! Dedicated Network capacity for projects " already 3 demands! Point-to-point circuits "od L2 VPN, managed Ethernet - Finegrained capacity provisioning with routers Traditional IP: IPv4/6, unicast/ multicast, L3 VPN, with QoS and SLA 19.

20 Conclusions and remarks/lessons Todo! Deploy the DWDM and IP network! Develop lightpath/alien wavelength/more finer granular bandwidth service! Overcome limitations of DWDM management systems " Two operating entity systems " Operational models for dynamic wavelength handling " Test and research activity on the DWDM platform could effect other working wavelength and services? procedures? " Common documentation? " Vendor communication?! Cross Border Fiber extension? next to AMRES Remarks/lessons! No unique way to acquire DF! Dealing with fiber providers can be challenging! Try to find local providers to get competitive prices! Development fund might be available for CAPEX! KISS 20.
