Description
This presentation will discuss the challenges of efficiently provisioning and deploying switch and host OS configurations enabling our collaboration to monitor, access, and repair the distributed instrument. Additionally we will cover some of the ongoing challenges post-deployment as regards configuration tracking, service verification, and monitoring the overall status of the DYNES instrument as well as enabling DYNES use for domain specific applications (like the LHC).
Summary
The Dynamic Network System (DYNES) is a distributed networking instrument that creates point-to-point, variable-bandwidth circuits between DYNES sites. This requires hardware and software infrastructure deployment to all participating sites. Currently the deployment stands at approximately 40 sites in the US requiring a storage system, network switch, and IDC (inter-domain-controller) to enable network reservations between sites.
