IRIS Manages the Spanish NREN and cooperates with other NRENs (JANET, SURFnet, GARR…) Collaborates with regional networks (RICA, Anella, RECETGA, I 2 BASK… Provide services and support Pan-European, North America… Research Networks National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) Regional research network Campus network Red. IRIS Co-manages and co-funds GÉANT, which cooperates with Internet 2, CANARIE, Red. CLARA, . . . Red. IRIS collaborates with Spanish regional networks to provide high quality services to the Spanish Research Community 5

Red. IRIS-NOVA : the dark fiber project 2009 2010 Competitive Dialog with 23 companies 2011 2012 2013 2014 Phase 1: start operation • 12. 000 Km dark fiber • 2. 000 Km submarine cables • Cross border fiber wth Portugal • Long-term IRU network • 21 years for the peninsula and • 30 years for Canary Islands • Much more bandwidth and more services possibilities • 80 x 10 G, 60 x 40 G ó 100 G (terrestrial links) • 128 x 10 G (submarine links) • Cost 104 M€ (49 M€ FEDER) • Save over 50 M€ over the previous model 21

Competitive dialogue for Red. IRIS-NOVA ● Pioneers (first case in the Spanish Administration – in a tender of up to ● ● ● 138 M€, with very tight schedule, for a complex contract requiring services not yet available as such “off-the-shelf” in the market) Preceded by Request for Information (RFI) Competitive Dialogue announced at the EU Official Journal 25 bidders – 2 bids were rejected, 23 bidders (9 fiber providers, 14 optical equipment providers) invited to participate § Accepted bidders could eventually reach agreements for joint bids Four rounds of negotiation took place § making it possible to ensure that Red. IRIS requested high performance solutions at affordable prices, which could be provided by enough companies to ensure adequate competition The competitive dialogue had finally three different lots: § one for dark fiber in mainland Spain, § one for dark fiber for the Canary islands, § one for optical equipment Final result was very positive as regards both technical parameters and price 22

Competitive dialogue: Need to find a balance Best service More time to look for the best solution Work with many potential providers Include more compulsory requirements Increase number of bidders Minimize bid management effort and costs Cheapest price Make procedure as short as possible for bidders 2323

Optical regional networks ● Extend Red. IRIS-NOVA fiber footprint to reach RN points. § Great opportunity to improve the RN infrastructure • User Service Enhacement • Red. IRIS Support • Costs: – 12. 500 km of fiber with national coverage – Favorable results when number of fiber kms are bigger. Regional Photonic Links based on Red. IRIS photonic network (which maintain homogenous control plane) § Agreements with Regional Governments § Current tender allows to reach 108 additional Po. Ps (phase I) § New tenders would be launched as needed (phase II) 26

Shared cloud services Situation at the ICT institutions ● Self-provision of services ● Technologic islands ● Lack of standardization ● Complex management ● Problems to invest and evolve Possible improvements ● Identify common, standard solutions ● Cost savings ● Easier deployment and update ● Public-private partnership Tasks ahead ● Identify appropriate areas for cooperation ● Make use of the network ● Calculate savings ● Establish legal framework (for procurement and for data protection) ● Define launch phase (cost-recovery, initial take-up expected to be slow) Possible cloud services ● Hosting ● Virtualization ● Servers (Iaa. S) ● Desktop ● Voice over IP ● IRISmail ● Electronic signature ● Web conference 27
