Internet in general (Norway, DESI 2016)

Universities

1. Connectivity: Good

2. Digital skills: identified as needing

to increase

3. Use of Internet: high, but variable

4. Integration: potential untapped

5. Digital services: Collaboration,

need for more selv service,

automation, simplification, data

centric eInfrastructure

The Nordic network landscape

Major reorganization of universities

Shared ICT is next

• Network

• HPC and storage

• Research data

• Student registry system

• Online services: libraries, repositories, cloud use, portals etc

• Joint procurement

Work smarter: quality up and cost down

Building rings, not links

Connect university and

college campus

Data traffic goes up

14500 km (11500 ex Svalbard)

59 POPs

120 routers

IRU with Broadnet until 2023.

1G, 10G, 100G

>40% load -> upgrade

Network status and plans

We will build/buy fiber to your campus

Croatia (DESI 2016)

eInfrastructure in Europe

1. Connectivity: Research network,

including eduroam, IoThings

2. Digital skills: how to use?

digital self confidence for teaching?

3. Use of Internet: variable

4. Integration: eInfrastructure

services, federated login, clouds,

data flows

5. Digital services: collaboration?

Open access? Data centric?

ICT solutions for higher ed: simple

and good enough

Digital compentency (human

capital)

Digitalise ICT in learning

National solutions, shared

understanding

Ministry of education and research,

UNINETT program lead

70 million NOK, 5 (6-7) years

Proposed goals 2017-:

All users should be able to

access data, services and

infrastructure

The digital campus must support

varied learning formats

Systematic, from ad-hoc to

everyday practice

Collaboration local-national-

international

Make better use of data

Technical infrastructure

39

Server consolidation, share end system procurement agreement

Local user support, link with working group

• University users need local support teams: some had, some have built (some still lack)

• Local support was done by “fire souls” (those who care), not by support teams

Support portal

Things take time

• Education changes take time: Professors want to deliver proven good teaching, test and

wait for next semester to deploy
