Time and Frequency Transfer for Research!
As part of the GÉANT workshop on Time and Frequency Transfer, SURF visited CERN in Geneva, home to the LHC particle accelerator. During the visit, there was a unique opportunity to explore the ELENA experiment, where researchers focus on decelerating created antimatter. In addition, SURF is currently rolling out the SURFtime&frequency pilot service. This Dutch…

New names for SURF network services
As of January 2024, the names of the network services will change. We are doing this to better align our services with the terms and conventions used in the network community. We hope that this will make it clearer to network administrators which services are provided. Current service name New service name per 1 Jan…

SURF, Nikhef, and CERN are preparing for the High Luminosity LHC
SURF facilitates the high-bandwidth connections between Amsterdam and Geneva. With the advent of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider at CERN, traffic is expected to increase fivefold in the coming years. This upgrade will enable more precise measurements, allowing for more detailed research into the origins of the universe. As a result, the amount of…

Lightpaths 2.0
We have been providing SURFlichtpaden for a long time. Up until now, these were always ethernet services with two endpoints. We had SURFlichtpaden in roughly four flavors; protected or redundant and on a Single Service Port (SSP, untagged) or Multi Service Port (MSP, tagged). Now, with the new SURF network, we can add new possibilities…
