The Science, Technology, and Society Network is now connected to the GigaPIX 100 Gbps traffic exchange point. The upgrade ensures connectivity needs for the coming years.
The upgrade of RCTS's connection to GigaPIX follows the acquisition of new equipment over the past two years. Capable of 100 Gbps connections, the equipment was installed at the headquarters of the National Scientific Computing Unit and at Equinix in Lisbon.
This improvement allows for an increase in the platform's total capacity and improved redundancy. As a result, RCTS began connecting to 100 Gbps on March 11th, becoming the first GigaPIX member to do so.
The connection upgrade is designed to accommodate the growing traffic on the national academic and scientific network using GigaPIX. This upgrade will ensure that connectivity needs between RCTS and GigaPIX are met for the coming years.
