Network Services - NORDUnet

NORDUnet provides a wide range of services for the Nordic research and education community, both core network services, above-the-net services, and logistics-related services, both highly technical and non-technical in nature
NORDUnet operate a global network that interconnects the research and education networks in the Nordic countries, and connect these network to the rest of the world. NORDUnet operate on behalf of the five Nordic NRENs.
Science has always been international in scope. Research and education is increasingly a global effort, unfolding in partnerships with global stakeholders in global projects, using scientific instruments or teaching resources unrestricted by borders.
NORDUnet Events range from workshops, bigger community gatherings to once every two years NORDUnet Conference. Apart from sharing knowledge people from the Nordic Research and Education community have the opportunity to meet and catch up. The number of participants keeps rising – underlining the importance of meeting in real life.
More than 400 research & education institutions in the Nordics, with over 1.2 million users, are connected via the Nordic NREN networks, enabling scientists, educators, and students to work and share knowledge globally.

The NORDUnet network is core to the NORDUnet mission, and providing network services is an essential part of what we do.
NORDUnet offers a wide range of network services, from a basic but high-performance shared IP service to circuit-oriented services, on-demand network services, and specialised carrier-type services such as access to the NORDUnet peering fabric.
NDN offers to host equipment for partners or specialized applications at our main sites as well as at network points-of-precense.
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.
The NORDUnet Lambda network has been built to provide research groups, projects and other activities with end-to-end, circuit-oriented services from demanding applications or community-specific networks.
The lambda network is available to all organizations and projects within the Nordic NREN community.
Our Lambda network facility offers dedicated, on-demand, end-to-end gigabit Ethernet circuits, allowing research communities to build application-specific networks. Since the circuits are end-to-end and not shared, users have full control of bandwidth available and guaranteed connectivity and latency. Through collaboration with globals partners, we can providers users with dedicated capacity and private network resources, end-to-end, across the globel.
Lambda services are offers on two complmentary platforms, with different service characteristics and different reach. In 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.
The NORUDnet optical transport platform, based on the Ciena 6500 packet-optical platform, provide 100Gbps transparent waves as well as 10Gbps OTN circuits. Services provided on this platform are true transport-class circuits with fully dedicated end-to-end capacity with predictable round-trip times and minimal jitter. For 10Gbps circuits, full OTN protection is provided by default; 100Gbps are un-protected by default, but optical protection can be provided. For both 10Gbps and 100Gbps services, the default presentation is Ehternet, but other presentations are possible. These services are available at all nodes of the NORDUnet optical transport network in Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Hamburg, London, and Amsterdam. In 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.
The NORDUnet MPLS switching fabric, based on Juniper swithching routers, provides a switched, fully redundant circuit service with capacities up to 10Gbps. The service is based on the shared-capacity MPLS fabric, though, bandwidth reservation is possible. The service allows for end-to-end circuits with Ethernet presentation, with redundancy as well as more complica
