Notes
SUNET presentation
- High-level strategy mostly formed 8 years ago. Is reviewed regularly, but has remained mostly stable since
- guidelines
- Collaboration
- economy of scale + cost effective
- "solutions based on standards or de-facto standards
- build on existing infrastructure and service;
- There are considered when thinking about new initiative
- SUNET believe that strategy is a day-to-day tool
- Interpretation
- Swedish research is #1 customer
- don't do anything unless there's an identified gain
- listen to customer, but stay a step ahead
- be at the forefront of technology
- Network and Identity are our core enabling skills and infrastructure
- Always be ready to re-evaluate what you do
- Don't be religious
- (Vidar: this could be a UNINETT slide; Harri: ditto)
- (Harri - doing a list like this on "what strategy means for us" would be a good idea for FUNET as well)
- Overall service view
- adding a few extra service areas along with network and identity: CnAAS, SOC, Security, Storage & Cloud
- Research and Collaboration is becoming a important area - new services being built
- National Robustness (discussion - now much of this before it becomes a distraction)
- Education services (i.e., LMS - most campuses use the SUNET offering)
- Media?
- Challenges
- Staying agile
- Keeping focus, avoid growing too much
- breaking business models of commercial players
- Remain relevant to research
UNINETT presentation
- New organisation
- Vision: enable world leading research in Norway (used to be "provide world leading netwowrk infrastructure")
- Four pillars
- Foundation: trusted advisor on Infrastructure, middleware for the sector
- networks access
- Service Platform
- Security Platform
- Security has become much more important in recent years, and much more concrete - actual services being done
- Same for SUNET. Just received a 3 M€ grant for developing sw for security services
- Teknology strategy
- 4 innovation areas: mobility, data sharing, network quality, network architecture
- in addition: idea lab: storage, client ops, cloudification, ....
- Milestones for the next 6 months
- offer eduroam to highschools
- establish CNaaS architecture agency for physical construction (who build campuses etc). Forming such a partnership at strategic level is very interesting. Should be possible in other countries.
- Collaborate with national
- lauch zoom as a service
- Port phone # from Telenor to Telia
- UNINETT believes there's a fundamental change for universities happening; The relation of education to time and location with dramatically change. Everything has to adapt to that, starting with buildings,
- Milestones for Security
- New "DNS Firewall" service
- Governance structure for security programme
- Foundations for a operative security analusis programme
- Investigate new log analysis service (possibly based on HUMIO)
- Milestones for Service Platform
- Procurement for common IAM platform
- New FEIDE login GUI
- Targets for new FEIDE infrastructure
- Establish cloudificaiton team
- HW platform for Mediasite service
- Discussion of strategic implications
- Key drivers: cost pressure, gaining more customers
- challenges:
- 5G + mobility. Our mobile track record is not good, but data-only MVNO, e-SIMS, etc maybe change things
- More focus on latency & performance
- High availability networks
- Network Quality for future immersive solutions
- SHort-term activities
- survey needs in sector
- cooperation with other public fibre owners
- utilise nordic synergies
- Connect data centres
- explore and develop cross border and cross-ocean cable opportunities
- support government sectors with network know-how - infrastructure, measurement, consulting
- Improve legacy tools
DeiC
- New board, all C-level university people
- Major process of reorganisation and evaluation of future direction
- Major evaluation of current and future services
- Push to do a lot of things locally at campuses
- Strategic direction for DeiC currently in limbo
- Comparison to situation in Norway a year or two ago, suggestion of sharing experience.
FUNET
- Quick review of CSC strategy
- FUNET as an element of CSC strategy, essential to reaching CSC goals
- Close corporation with customers / users, ensure that users have the means to be excel
- FUNET technical strategy prepared for the build of the FUNET 2020 network
- Disaggregation at optical layer
- Procurement of cross-border links on-going
- Turku - Stockholm
- Vasaa - Umeå
- Klipsijærvi - Skibotn
- Helsinki - Tallinn (in place)
- Kemi - Kalix (in place)
- Discussion of AUP; NDN is by BoD policy AUP-free, and so links meant for sharing should be as well
- Automation w Ansbile
- Juniper router core for FUNET2020 in production with Ansible, no CLI
- Net data centre networks in development, Juniper routers and Huawei switches no Ansible
- CNaaS - service development in progress, Ansible automation of campus router / swtches in progress, collaboration with one university for development. Target: no CLI from the campus side.
- Interest in sharing Ansible playbooks.
- Session at NTW19 is a good idea. Also, future workshops
- Pelle: the tools being developed for CNaaS will in the future also be the tools used to run SUNET in the future
- TNC slides
- CNaaS (per / vidar)
- Ansible / automation (Matti)
- Faroese islands (Martin)
- SAT-kom / leosat (martin, Jørgen)
- EuroHPC (Lars, Harri)
- EOSC-Nordic (Lars, NeIC)
- NDN NGN (Qvist)
- FUNET 2020?
- EISCAT?
- ESS?
- CAE-1
