GÉANT is a Network and Global PartnerThe GÉANT network interconnects research, education and innovation communities worldwide, with secure, high-capacity networks.
We design, plan, build and operate the large-scale, high-performance GÉANT network that connects European NRENs to each other and the rest of the world for sharing, accessing and processing the high data volumes generated by research and education communities and for testing innovative technologies and concepts.
Interconnecting Europe’s NRENs over a 500Gb highly-resilient
pan-European backbone.NRENs serve 50 million users at 10,000 institutions across
Europe.Network services: IP, Point-to-Point Services, VPN, Testbeds,
performance monitoring

A separate ultra-high-speed internet, only for research & education
RobustnessOver 1,000 terabytes of data are transferred every day via the GÉANT IP backbone.
Total reliability100% average monthly access availability.
FlexibilityServices and infrastructure can be tailored to individual user requirements.
Capacity and rapid upscale100Gbps (gigabits per second) services are now available across the core network, with a network design that will support up to 8Tbps (terabits per second), ensuring the network remains ahead of user demand and the data deluge.
Efficient operationsThe dedicated GÉANT Operations Centre ensures 99% of cases are reported within 15 minutes of any outage being detected, leading to rapid resolution.
ServicesA wide range of services including IP and dedicated circuits, testbeds and virtualised resources, authentication and roaming, monitoring and troubleshooting, advisory and support services.
“Today it would not be possible to work without the network that GÉANT and the NRENs have provided.”CMS experiment, Large Hadr on Collider (LHC)
