The Janet6 Project
Janet6 is the name given to the project to build the next generation of the Janet infrastructure.
Replacing the current SuperJanet5 backbone in Autumn 2013, this national resource will be universally available across the whole of research and education - from high end research to HE, FE and Schools.
Built to the requirements of our users, Janet6 has been designed to ensure the capacity, resilience and flexibility for research and education, across the UK, for the next 10 years.
Underpinning all of the sector's digital activities, Janet6's flexible architecture will enable us to respond to our customers’ changing needs. It will enable them to meet bandwidth requirements as they arise, enable them to exploit the efficiencies of new technologies and new ways of working as well as respond to policy changes.
The new Janet6 infrastructure will provide continued support for the UK's knowledge economy whilst ensuring best value for our customers.
The key aims of the Janet6 project are:
- To deliver a Specialist Network.
- To provide a highly reliable and secure network.
- To provide a network that is flexible in terms of meeting future demand.
- To provide a network that is more agile in dealing with change.
- To support an increased range of partnerships and collaboration.
