GEYSERS MoU
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012 by xavier_hesselbach
The goal of the GEYSERS project is to qualify optical infrastructure providers and network operators with a new architecture, to enhance their traditional business operations, with the participation of a consortium of NRENs, universities, research institutions, SMEs, and manufacturers.
The Mantychore project will follow the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) paradigm to enable National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) and other e-Infrastructure providers to enhance their service portfolio by building and deploying software and tools to provide infrastructure resources like routers, switches, optical devices, and IP networks as a service to virtual research communities: Network as a Service.

GN3-JRA1-T4 MoU
Wednesday, March 28th, 2012 by xavier_hesselbach
A collaboration between Mantychore project and JRA1-T4 research activity of GN3 project has been established. Similar to Mantychore, network virtualisation is the main technology focus in GN3-JRA1-T4 and therefore we are very happy to explore the possible collaboration on this subject between two projects.
Several Mantychore partners are involved in the GN3-JRA1-T4 research activity and as such a plan has been drafted for the potential use of Mantcyhore outcomes in our research activity where and when is possible. The GN3-JRA1-T4 team, with the help of Mantychore team, is planning to develop an interface between the OpenNaaS software tools and GN3-JRA1-T4 software tool (i.e. GENUS) for leveraging on IP and Ethernet virtualisation capabilities of OpenNaaS.
