UKERNA have enabled a nationwide
domestic R&D network in
parallel with SupetJANET-4

UKLight is- A pervasive R&D infrastructure- A new era in UK, giving the opportunity to think out of box
UKLight is not- A production network - Extra capacity (not needed per se)- For anything which SJ4 can already do- Anything to do with 50% of “perceived network problems”
Supported by key bodies: - HEFC, JISC, - EPSRC, PPARC, - Core e-Science programme- Managed by UKERNA
09-Sept-2004 NeSCUKLight Town Meeting Peter Clarke, [email protected]
The purpose of this meeting is to raise awareness to as wide a range of research disciplines as possible
Programme for this meeting• Description of Infrastructure • Early adopted projects just (i)• Q&A• Examples of Projects from StarLight• Early adopter projects (ii)• Plans for a possible dark fibre infrastructure• Q&A
-
UKLight is for enablement of all research disciplines which can benefit – to allow them to pilot new ways of working
