19 Janet Reach Scheme 4M e-infrastructure funds reserved for industry support Connections to Janet? State-aid compliant scheme designed Project applications Must be innovative External assessment Must contribute 40-50% of total project value Connection can be 50-60% of total project value These are R&D projects (low TRL) Not close-to-market Values are Market-rate 24/11/2015 Title of presentation (Go to View menu > Header and Footer to edit the footers on this slide) 19

20 Janet Reach Large company Rolls-Royce -10Gbit/s SMEs 1) Assisted Living 1Gbit/s 2) Radio Astronomy 2.5 Gbit/s +2/3 more

21 State-aid From UK Government: State-Aid: The Basics Guide If you think your activity might might be state-aid.. Can you re-design it so it isn t? If you can t avoid it, take a well-trodden path Think State-aid early Don t ignore it Seek advice 24/11/2015 Title of presentation (Go to View menu > Header and Footer to edit the footers on this slide) 21

22 Janet Reach Heavyweight, high-overhead & beurocratic! Inflexible for all concerned project proposal, asessment, monitoring much harder to adapt to changing requirements. Vision industry & academic engagement is fine Future options? Market-value offerings by definition no state-aid issue Flexibility contract structure Lowest feasible recurrent cost combined with metered use and billing Still have connection overhead in time terms little appreciated how long & complex this can be! My view needs a minimum 3 year forward-look to be sensible 1 year to plan, agree and implement, then 2 years service. 24/11/2015 Title of presentation (Go to View menu > Header and Footer to edit the footers on this slide) 22

23 Commercial entities connecting to Janet Not a quick or short-term fix Need to have a medium to longer term persistent requirement (and a rational & objective one!) If not, many things still possible! NRENs have excellent peerings with commercial ISPs Janet certainly has Good starting place use existing service arrangements via IP peerings Establish a programme of work and review as this evolves When scale becomes appropriate, consider a direct peering with the NREN/academic partner/facility. 24/11/2015 Title of presentation (Go to View menu > Header and Footer to edit the footers on this slide) 23

24 Convergence? evolution 24/11/2015 Title of presentation (Go to View menu > Header and Footer to edit the footers on this slide) 24

25 Summary points Plenty of physical infrastructure Private / domain specific Commercial Data communications High quality & capability network Critical and end-to-end (multi-domain, holistic) Organisations, NRENs, GEANT & global partners, ISPs AAI Drive evolution through experience of major research communities Moving workload to external service providers Elastic expansion 24/11/2015 Title of presentation (Go to View menu > Header and Footer to edit the footers on this slide) 25

26 Convergence? One-stop-shop premature Too simple, real world is complex Evolving for long tail Federated approach where appropriate Rational & objective approach to analysing requirements Genuine progress in some areas! Stakeholder communications Strong substrate Much development needed in the soft environment above the physical infrastructure 24/11/2015 Title of presentation (Go to View menu > Header and Footer to edit the footers on this slide) 26
