“The LHC Optical Private Network (LHCOPN) is core to delivering physics data to the LHC scientists worldwide. To ensure the quality of the services, we need a rigorous active monitoring system that can identify real-time problems. The collaboration of the LHCOPN with the GÉANT project and the NRENs as well as the partner institutes has enabled DANTE to provide a robust and extensible system that now has a global reach.” – Dr David Foster, European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) |
