NetherLight – the case for Open Exchanges

NetherLight – the case for Open Exchanges

Our friends at SURFnet have produced an excellent video about the open exchange point NetherLight. The video explains NetherLight role as central part of the European e-Infrastructure for research and education. It also makes a strong case for open exchange points in the global R&E networking ecosystemt, and the role they play in  the Global Network Architecture.

NORDUnet has been a connector at NetherLight for many years, using it as a hub for European and global connectivity. NetherLight is one of the landing points of the ANA collaboration for trans-Atlantic networking.
