REDIMadrid migrates the traffic of the High Energy group at the UAM to the LHCONE dedicated network

Thanks to the recent acquisition of Dark Fiber, REDIMadrid has been able to migrate the traffic of the High Energy group of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) to the dedicated network LHCONE (Large Hadron Collider Open Network Environment). The LHCONE network is a dedicated network for LHC machines of tier 1, 2, and 3 that enables the separation of LHC traffic from other traffic generated by machines that do not belong to the LHC. The migration was successfully performed on the 15th of March without any incidence. The new network provides the group with 10Gbps for sending and receiving LHC related traffic.

REDIMadrid, funded by the Madrid Regional Government and managed by the IMDEA Software Institute, currently provides high-speed connections at up to 10 Gbps to the universities and research institutes located in the Madrid region.
