About
Large-scale science increasingly depends on the ability to move vast amounts of data quickly, reliably and securely. When projects generate hundreds of terabytes- or even petabytes- network performance becomes critical to research success.
In this webinar, you’ll hear how 790TB of research data was transferred from the US to Harwell in just 27 hours, achieving sustained throughput of more than 60Gbps over the Janet Network.
Matt Pritchard (JASMIN/CEDA) will explain the practical architecture, tooling and optimisation decisions that made this possible, including the use of Globus and a purpose-built data-movement design.
You’ll also gain insight into how Janet’s high-capacity national and international connectivity is engineered to support research and education traffic, how collaboration with international partners enables strong end-to-end performance, and how Jisc’s network performance team works with members to optimise high-throughput workflows.
This session will provide both strategic context and practical lessons for organisations managing data-intensive research.
