Your NGI-related portfolio: Our team works on three infrastructure related projects: 1. We are building an NSF funded, cross-Atlantic testbed for collaborative NGI experiments. Our goal is also to further the development of a generalized virtualization model that enables automatic allocation of performance guaranteed compute/storage/network resources across large network footprints 2. We are building a plug&play IOT platform for research and education. The first use case is provided by one of the sponsors, the Water Research Center at East Carolina University and with opportunities for expansion to state agencies 3. We are working on an intelligent, active measurement monitoring services that integrates with other infrastructure controllers in order to support ITOM automation.


The 30-months project NGIatlantic.eu will push the Next Generation Internet a step further by providing cascade funding to EU-based researchers and innovators in carrying out Next Generation Internet related experiments in collaboration with US research teams.
