SANReN’s 100 Gbps Data Transfer Service: Transferring data fast!
DescriptionTransferring large amounts of data poses a significant challenge, often resulting in poor performance and slow speeds. With the upgrade of the core national South African National Research Network (SANReN) backbone network capacity, 100 Gbps DTNs have been implemented in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa with Globus data transfer software installed. Implemented, as part of the DTNs onto a single hardware platform, is perfSONAR functionality used for monitoring, troubleshooting and diagnosis of network issues. Leveraging the infrastructure deployed as part of the AmLight Express and Protect (AmLight-Exp) collaboration using the South Atlantic Cable System (SACS) connecting Africa and the US, the SANReN 100 Gbps combined DTN/perfSONAR nodes were demonstrated at the Supercomputing23 conference hosted in Denver, Colorado, United States of America in 2023. Several tests were subsequently conducted from December 2023 to July 2024, which are presented in this paper.
