G2MPLS Control Plane demo at TNC2009 (Malaga, ES)
Nextworks ha partecipato all'evento TNC2009 con la dimostrazione del control plane Grid-GMPLS (G2MPLS) sviluppato nell'ambito del progetto Phosphorus.

Many experts, EU policy makers and NREN directors experienced the innovative G2MPLS capabilities while controlling ROADMs, fiber and Ethernet switches, all seamlessly integrated with different Grid middleware/applications.Nextworks' researchers and other Phosphorus partners proved the seamless and one-step setup of Grid and network resources (Grid Network Services - GNS) through G2MPLS in two challenging scenarios:

• the remote and distributed storage of large media contents (Phosphorus DDSS) through the optical Phosphorus pan-European testbed;
• the simulation and visualization of complex physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere (KoDaVis application on top of the UNICORE middleware) through an onsite full Gigabit Ethernet testbed.
