The Infiniband networking technology is a long established and rapidly developing technology which is currently dominating the field of low-latency, high-throughput interconnects for HPC systems in general and those included in the TOP-500 list in particular. Over the last 4 years a successful use of Infiniband networking technology combined with additional IP-over-IB protocol and Infiniband...

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...

After several years investigation of trends in Identity Management (IdM), the eXtreme Scale Identity Management (XSIM) project has concluded there is little reason for resource providers to provide IdM functions for research collaborations or even for many groups within the institution. An improved user experience and decreased cost can be achieved with "a small amount of programming."

OSG Operations and Software will soon be configuring our operational infrastructure and middleware components with an IPv6 network stack capabilities in addition to its existing IPv4 stack. For OSG services this means network interfaces will thus have at least one IPv6 address on which it listens, in addition to whatever IPv4 addresses it is already listening on. For middleware components we...

Computer security is important as ever outside the HEP community, but also within. This presentation will give the usual overview on recent issues being reported or made public since the last HEPix workshop (like the ripples of "Heartbleed"). It will discuss trends (identity federation and virtualisation) and potential mitigations to new security threats.
