NORDUnet offers a wide range of network services, from a basic but high-performance\u00a0shared IP service to circuit-oriented services, on-demand network services, and specialised carrier-type services such as access to the NORDUnet peering fabric. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

NDN offers to host equipment for partners or specialized applications\u00a0at our main sites as well as at network points-of-precense. \u00a0<\/p>\n

NORDUnet is not a general hosting provider, but we are happy to work with partners in hosting network equipment as well as equipment for network-related and above-the-network services.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The NORDUnet Lambda network has been built to provide research groups, projects and other activities with end-to-end,\u00a0circuit-oriented services from demanding applications or community-specific networks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Availability<\/h3>\n

The lambda network is available to all organizations and projects within the Nordic NREN community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Description<\/h3>\n

Our Lambda network facility offers dedicated, on-demand, end-to-end gigabit Ethernet circuits, allowing research communities to build application-specific networks.\u00a0Since the circuits are end-to-end and not shared, users have full control of bandwidth available and guaranteed connectivity and latency. \u00a0Through collaboration with globals partners, we can providers users with dedicated capacity and private network resources, end-to-end, across the globel.<\/p>\n

Lambda services are offers on two complmentary platforms, with different service characteristics and different reach.\u00a0In either case, the circuit-oriented services are provided at the same, high standard as other NORDUnet services, with full 24\/7 support, high availability and the highest possible performance.<\/p>\n

OTN Circuits<\/h4>\n

The NORUDnet optical transport platform, based on the\u00a0Ciena 6500 packet-optical platform, provide 100Gbps transparent waves as well as 10Gbps OTN circuits. \u00a0Services provided on this platform are true transport-class\u00a0\u00a0circuits with fully dedicated end-to-end capacity with predictable round-trip times and minimal jitter. \u00a0For 10Gbps circuits, full OTN protection is provided by default; 100Gbps are un-protected by default, but optical protection can be provided. \u00a0For both 10Gbps and 100Gbps services, the default presentation is Ehternet, but other presentations are possible.\u00a0 These services are available at all nodes of the NORDUnet optical transport network in Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Hamburg, London, and Amsterdam. \u00a0In combination with similar services from the Nordic NRENs and global partners, end-to-end circuits and waves can be provided for the most demanding applications and transport needs.<\/p>\n

MPLS Swithing Fabric<\/h4>\n

The NORDUnet MPLS switching fabric, based on Juniper swithching routers, provides a switched, fully redundant circuit service with capacities up to 10Gbps. \u00a0\u00a0The service is based on the shared-capacity MPLS fabric, though, bandwidth\u00a0reservation is possible. \u00a0The service allows for end-to-end circuits with Ethernet presentation, with redundancy as well as more complicated private network topologies. The service is available at all locations of the NORDUnet MPLS fabric, i.e., in the Nordic countries, north-west Europe, and North America. \u00a0\u00a0In combination with similar services from the Nordic NRENs and global partners, end-to-end circuits and more complex, private networks\u00a0can be provided for global user communities.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

“The concept of an Open Exchange is to ensure carrier-neutral policy-free exchange of traffic between any connected partner network thus ensuring easy non-discriminatory interchange of communication\u201d<\/p>\n

NORDUnet strongly supports the open exchange concept and will ensure that the NORDUnet exchanges are operated and managed in line with best practices.<\/p>\n

NORDUnet Open eXchange Points offers 10GE and 100GE connectivity allowing both R&E networks and commercial service providers to interconnect at their discretion with no Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) imposed by NORDUnet.<\/p>\n

NORDUnet can offer connectivity between\u00a0NOX-HEL and a number of other European Open Exchange Points, including\u00a0other NOX nodes, for our R&E Network partners.<\/p>\n

A generic NOX is designed using existing NORDUnet routers and infrastructure. The NOX itself consists of one or more router blades that are managed in a separate logical system.<\/p>\n

The Peering Service is supported by NORDUnet\u2019s global IP backbone and extended peering infrastructure. Our aim is to provide the European NREN community with a neutral high quality IP service towards the commercial Internet and content providers. Through joint collaboration with the European NREN community, we can improve the service for the benefit of all participants and thereby increase the likelihood of establishing new peers.<\/p>\n

Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Peering Service is available to all members of the European NREN community<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two connectivity options are available: a 10-Gbps or a 100-Gbps Ethernet port. The 10\/100-Gbps ports can be either flat rate or metered.<\/p>\n
