The Way We Were
And the Strategic Shortcomings
The Network Technical Design Authority (TDA) is responsible for establishing and maintaining the overall technical architecture of the Core Network so that it might be developed and operated in a manner which is consistent with the strategic goals of the STFC, and remains fit for purpose in the light of the evolving demands of its user base.
The TDA reports to the IT Operations Board (ITOB) and to the Information Management & Technology Strategy and Oversight Committee (IMTSOC).

FY2011-12 (£350k)1. Janet connectivity increased to resilient 30Gb2. RAL site geographically resilient3. New external core routers operating in a resilient
configuration using a 80Gb ring operational June 20124. “Big” Data centric “clouds” being migrated to the new
infrastructure: LHC Tier 2 migrated, JASIM/CEMS in advanced stages, British Atmospheric Data Centre and LHC Tier 1 started

FY2012/13 (£200k)1. RAL Firewall re-procurement to provide 40Gb throughput in
HA configuration 2. Fortinet Fortigate-3240C firewall selected and procured3. Implementation planning underway with target operational
service in summer 2013

FY2013/14 (£130k)1. Focus: internal RAL network: to dis-aggregate complex
configurations; to provide a simple IP routed environment2. Review (and replace) Nortel stacked switches and routers to
provide appropriate, i.e. modern, technology to level performance needs and based on reliability assessment
3. Introduce better instrumentation through the network
