Building a Competitive National e-Infrastructure for Research
The Dutch Approach
Dr. L.A. Plugge SURF Scientific Technical Council
EuroRIs-Net Final Workshop 11 Oct. 2011, Athens

Our challenge in 1985
14 research universities
~8 big university IT centers for research
To keep up with competition:
8x investment needed, for similar equipment
Government proposal:- Collaborate in sharing facilities;- And we will invest.

1987 SURF Foundation – innovation hotbed 1988 SURFnet BV – network services1991 SURFdiensten BV - procurement
Collaborate on challenges that you cannot solve by yourself
and no one else will solve for you
SURF members:• All Universities (14+41);• 7 other institutions.
SURFnet users:- All (Research) Universities;- Academic Hospitals;- Top Clinics;- Research Institutions;- University and Royal Libraries;- Other subsidized institutions.

New challenges since 1990
• (e)Science is increasingly a global multidisciplinary cooperative effort;− Need for excellent global connectivity;− Need to share resources;− Need to combine generic resources; − Exchange, combine and integrate data and information;− Reuse of methods and techniques across disciplines.
4SURF – ICT innovation by and for higher education and research
Create a single national ICT infrastructure for research− Hardware (network, computers and data storage
facilities);− Software (web and grid middleware); − Harnessing resources.
Not in grant competition with our user community!

Challenges ahead:• SURFSARA
(the computing and data facility management organization)
• Capability computing resources(replacing the current national supercomputer Huygens)
• Capacity computing cluster resources(upgrading the current BiG Grid computing infrastructure)
• Data storage resources(upgrading and extending the BiG Grid storage infrastructure)
• Structural funding for innovation(not in competition with researchers)
• Structural ICT budget reservation in research projects(ICT budget for use of generic services)
• Rethinking Scientific Communication− e.g., what is the future of University Libraries?
