Start up of GigaPort initiative
• SURFnet realised that a new infrastructure project
was needed, but
– the required funds couldn’t be delivered solely by the
Ministry of Education, Culture and Science
– the project would have a broader (economic) value
– network and applications need to be developed
simultaneously
• The government allocated part of the general
infrastructure funds to knowledge infrastructure

GigaPort objectives
• Accelerate innovation using NGI technologies for:
– Business
– Research and Education
– Healthcare
• Offer:
– State-of-the-art research network as testbed
– Know-how regarding NGI applications
– Access to innovative user group (students)
– Contacts to form consortia

Main challenges
•Address high costs of ‘last mile’ access to
network
•Reinforce role of universities and research
institutes as accelerators
•Accelerate rate of experimentation by business
•Achieve shared sense of urgency and
opportunity
SURFnet AUP
• Full service for Research and Higher Education
Institutes
• All others, including industry, test and development
activities for advanced applications
