Objective 1: Deploy an operational IP Networks as a Service IP Networks as a Service Enable HEAnet and NORDUnet to provide IP network services to their users through the Mantychore tools, enhancing their service portfolio ; thus providing virtual research communities with a useful service that can improve providing virtual research communities with a useful service that can improve their research activities and optimize the efficiency of use of e- I nfrastructures. Mantychore allows third parties to configure network addressing, internal routing, firewalls and external routing policies. Objective 2: Integrated Layer 1 ‐ 3 services j g y Refine and expand the Mantychore services provided by means of integrating, with the I aaS Framework, solutions for optical (Argia) and provide id i t integrated t d Ethernet/MPLS Eth t/MPLS networks t k (Ether); (Eth ) th thus b i being able bl t to services at layers 1-3 to the research community. 5

Objective 3: Marketplace for resource trading Innovate in the business model used in services based on IaaS, establishing a marketplace where all I nfrastructure Providers can publish their available resources with their usage conditions (SLA price) and publish their available resources with their usage conditions (SLA, price), and all customers can automatically negotiate the SLAs getting the best resource combination for their needs. Objective 4: Carbon ‐ neutral e ‐ Infrastructures Use Mantychore services to contribute to the research performed in the y p GreenStar Network (GSN) project to enable carbon-neutral infrastructures . Objective 5: Commercial Exploitation j p Evaluate the likelihood of Mantychore services (open source based) in a commercial telco environment and elaborate a business plan focused on this service for telco operators on this service for telco operators . 6

WP4 Objectives i2CAT i2CAT • Analyse the user requirements (from NRENs and Analyse the user requirements (from NRENs and virtual research communities). Some requirements: requirements: – allow users to configure and manage any type of network (incl. L1, L2 and L3). ( , ) – improve the interface for the end users, so that it is as simple and usable as possible. p p • Implement the use user requirements and support during the pre ‐ operational phase during the pre operational phase
