Description
International research projects quite often need to transfer large amounts of data across long distances. To assess and improve data transfer between different sites, dedicated computer systems, with specific hi-end hardware components and dedicated transfer tools called Data Transfer Nodes (DTN) are used. This presentation introduces an interoperable Data Transfer Testing Facility established through a collaborative initiative between GEANT, and ESnet, the US Energy Sciences Network. The collaborative project focuses on the establishment of an interoperable collection of DTNs positioned strategically in crucial sites in Europe and the United States, for the global research and education communities
