This presentation will explain the network design implemented in the CERN Prévessin Datacentre (built in 2022/2023, in production since February 2024). We will show how, starting from an empty building, the current network best practices could be adopted (and partly adapted to match the specific requirements in term of interconnection with the rest of CERN network). We will also provide...
High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments demand extreme speed and efficiency, making cybersecurity particularly challenging. The need to implement security controls without compromising performance presents a unique dilemma: how can we ensure robust protection while maintaining computational efficiency?
This presentation will give an insight into real-world challenges and measures...
The deployment of an Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) solution at CERN has been a project aimed at enhancing the security posture of endpoint devices. In this presentation we’ll share our infrastructure's architecture and how we rolled out the solution. We will also see how we addressed and overcome challenges on multiple fronts from administrator’s fears to fine-tuning detections and...
This presentation aims to give an update on the global security landscape from the past year. The global political situation has introduced a novel challenge for security teams everywhere. What's more, the worrying trend of data leaks, password dumps, ransomware attacks and new security vulnerabilities does not seem to slow down.
We present some interesting cases that CERN and the wider HEP...
The HEPiX IPv6 Working Group has been encouraging the deployment of IPv6 in WLCG and elsewhere for many years. At the last HEPiX meeting in November 2024 we reported on the status of our GGUS ticket campaign for WLCG sites to deploy dual-stack computing elements and worker nodes. Work on this has continued. We have also continued to monitor the use of IPv4 and IPv6 on the LHCOPN, with the aim...
The high-energy physics community, along with the WLCG sites and Research and Education (R&E) networks have been collaborating on network technology development, prototyping and implementation via the Research Networking Technical working group (RNTWG) since early 2020. The group is focused on three main areas: Network visibility, network optimization and network control and management....
The WLCG Network Throughput Working Group along with its collaborators in OSG, R&E networks and the perfSONAR team have collaboratively operated, managed and evolved a network measurement platform based upon the deployment of perfSONAR toolkits at WLCG sites worldwide.
This talk will focus on the status of the joint WLCG and IRIS-HEP/OSG-LHC infrastructure, including the resiliency and...
The Single Sign-On (SSO) service at CERN has undergone a significant evolution over recent years, transitioning from a Puppet-hosted solution to a Kubernetes-based infrastructure. Since September 2023, the current team has focused on cementing SSO as a stable and reliable cornerstone of CERN's IT services. Effort was concentrated on implementing best practices in service management - a mid...
Introduce the network architecture design of HEPS, including the general network, production network and data center network and etc.
The running status for all the network parts will also be described.
