SEERA-EI PSC02 meeting, Bucharest, 6-7 July 2009
The basic priorities that should be achieved in the process of accelerated development of the Information Society in Bulgaria are:
ICT infrastructure development and e-services penetration;
Broadband penetration all over the country Effective information environment and interoperability
standards; Research and Innovation infrastructure development; Encouraging public-private partnerships for investment
in ICT infrastructure and innovation; Providing a full range of e-services for economic and
social challenges; Promoting e-Inclusion.
Information Society Priorities in Bulgaria

National Program for Accelerated Information Society Development
SEERA-EI PSC02 meeting, Bucharest, 6-7 July 2009
Coordinated approach – GEANT NW, high performance
distributed clusters – GRIDS and test beds
Knowledge-based economy objective: R&D&I
development in ICT for eHealth, Education, Business,
eGovernment, scientific research and development
Access to GRID resources = optimized scientific and
innovation potential of users + equal participation in EU
scientific and educational initiatives
National program for accelerated IS development and GRID focus
SEERA-EI PSC02 meeting, Bucharest, 6-7 July 2009
Share of scientific research in the GDP
Expenditure for scientific R & D
Investments in ICT sector
Secured national financing for R & D & I
No. of engaged in ICT R & D
No. of users with access to GRID resources
No. of users facilitating GRID infrastructure
Some indicators of the Program, referred to R & D in ICT and GRID

Bulgarian Grid infrastructure –current status
• 7grid sites supported by 5 BGGC members
• Core Services • BDII, WMS, VOMS, MyProxy,
national monitoring• Support from SAITC, MinEdu NSF,
international projects • BG07-EDU with 8 CPUs is available
for education purposes. It has joined in Gilda T-infrastructure (EGEE-III)
• BG01-IPP will be enlarged soon with more than 672 CPUs, 48TB, and Infiniband interconnect. 42 blade servers, Intel Xeon 4C 2 processors X5570 2.93GHz,
• New site BG08- IOCCP will be joined in grid infrastructure soon with more than 800 logic kernels, 48TBe storage and Infiniband interconnection. 50 servers, Intel Xeon 4C, 2 procs X5520 2.26GHz, 4 cores, 2 threads

National Broadband Program
Aim for its development: for sustainable solution of the fact that the broadband penetration rate in BG (11.2 % 01.2009, 7,6 % 01.08) is still far bellow the EU-27 average (22,9 % 01.2008), remaining one of the lowest in the EU (source: EC report of March 2009)
Milestones: Creation of new broadband infrastructure including
backhaul facilities (e.g. fixed, terrestrial wireless, satellite-based, or combination of technologies) ;
Upgrade of existing broadband infrastructure (e.g. increased reliability, speed, capacity, reach, better quality of service, etc.);
Laying down passive broadband infrastructure (eg: civil engineering works such as ducts, and other network elements such as dark fibre etc), also in synergy with other infrastructures (energy, transport, water, sewerage networks, etc).
New!
SEERA-EI PSC02 meeting, Bucharest, 6-7 July 2009
Vision: Up to 2013 г. to ensure all Bulgarian citizens to have broadband access
Aim: Maximum coverage, reliable connectivity, high speed and reasonable prices for the end users
- Social and business environment impact- Technological impact: connectivity, networks, infrastructure Principles:- Focus on citizens- Equality- Coordination and cooperation- Market based investments- Sustainable development- Following the EC policies, initiatives and principles
