6 PERN Services Internet Services (Fastest Access to Informa2on) High performance op2cal network and Internet connec2ons Intranet: Virtual Private LAN Service (Secure, Reliable Ethernet VPN Full-Mesh Solu2on) Services deliver enterprise-class metro and Wide Area Network configura2ons over a private, secure infrastructure that is separate from the public network Na2onal Digital Library The Na2onal Digital Library program provides researchers access to interna2onal scholarly literature based on electronic (online) delivery. Video/ VoIP The PERN Na2onal Video Conferencing Service provides PERN connected Ins2tu2ons with facility of mul2 Hop Video Conferencing.

7 PERN Services Cont.. Local Content Hos2ng (Cloud Services) This Private Cloud is based on distributed architecture spanning over two Regional Data Centers of HEC in Karachi and Lahore. Unified Communica2on The Private Cloud technology as implemented is primarily aimed at providing Unified Communica2on solu2on including services, office communicator etc. EduRoam (Federated Wi-Fi network authen2ca2on) EduRoam is a global wireless network access service providing users in the research and educa2on communi2es with mobility between par2cipa2ng ins2tu2on s wireless infrastructures. PERN Allied Services Services for Researchers

12 Enhanced Link Capaci2es with other NRENs PERN had interna2onal linkages to other NRENs and collabora2ng with them on different research projects NREN link capacity was enhanced from 155Mbps to 1 Gbps in 2015

13 Collabora2on with AARNET Collabora2on with AARNET on EduRoam service for PERN HEI (Higher Educa2on Ins2tutes). EduRoam (EduRoam is a global wireless network access service providing users (students, staff and faculty) in the research and educa2on communi2es with mobility between par2cipa2ng ins2tu2ons wireless infrastructures, and removing the burden of ins2tu2onal administra2on of guest network access).

14 Collabora2on with CERN Collabora2on with CERN on LHCONE Project The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world s largest and most powerful par2cle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addi2on to CERN s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometer ring of superconduc2ng magnets with a number of accelera2ng structures to boost the energy of the par2cles along the way.

15 Collabora2on with GIST Collabora2on with GIST Korea on SDN (Soqware Define Networking) over 155Mbps

16 100GE Expansion Plans:PERN3 Ready to transform 100GE Core by GE r Planned to transform 100GE Core in parallel to exis>ng 10GE core. Interlinking Six (6) major cites. r 10GE last mile Media to access sites. r Establishment of 90 Smart universi>es through blanket Wi-Fi coverage, Centralized controller at PERN and EduRoam service. r Smart University Project is an>cipated to by completed by 2017 r Smart e-class Project for 90 Universi>es (an>cipated >meline for comple>ons is 2017) r IP Surveillance Project for Public sector Universi>es (an>cipated >meline, 2017) 2015: public-sector Private Cloud of distributed architecture based on Microsoc technologies while providing SaaS (Socware as a Service) Another Cloud based on Huawei solu>on is being setup.
