Description

The ESnet Extension to Europe (EEX) project is building out the ESnet backbone in to Europe. The goal of the project is to provide dedicated transatlantic network services that support U.S. DOE funded science. The EEX physical infrastructure build will be substantially completed before the end of December. Initial services will be provided to BNL, FERMI and CERN while the infrastructure is being built out and tested. EEX services will be expanded, following the build, to serve all current ESnet sites and the U.S. LHC community including some computing centers at U.S. Universities. This talk will cover the EEX architecture, schedule, and services, and include initial thoughts about what universities will need to do to take advantage of this opportunity.
