This year’s NORDUnet Technical Workshop (NTW) will run from 24-26 September with selected side meetings on 23 & 27 September. If you work with networking, infrastructure or services for research and education in the Nordic countries, this workshop is for you.

Competitive Supercomputer to be placed in Finland

NORDUnet congratulates Finnish CSC on being selected to host a pan-European high-performance supercomputer at their datacenter in Kajaani. Not only will this position Finland, but the entire Europe as one of the world leaders in supercomputing, enabling European researchers to access world-class computing resources.

NORDUnet and the Nordic NRENs have agreed a major redesign and upgrade of the NORDUnet backbone in Europe and the Nordic countries. The network will allow NORDUnet and the Nordic NRENs to meet the growing demands for capacity, availability, and low latency from the research and education sector. By sharing infrastructure, NORDUnet and the Nordic NRENs will meet these additional demands without increasing cost. The new network was approved by the NORDUnet board on 26 March 2019; the implementation will be launched immediately. 

A more powerful, more resilient and more affordable Nordic network for research and education is taking shape. The new NORDUnet network is based on collaboration and infrastructure sharing.
