Consolidate the different lists of engagement requirements, SURFnet, NorduNet, Geant, I2 all have versions. NORDUnet have a set with about 14-16 in their list (which is based on SURFmarkets).

We will create a master consolidated that will be form the “Entry Requirements” for vendors and have a process to maintain across regions.

Develop our agreed “reusable requirements” for provider agreements to be global.

Reusable requirements.

NORDUnetNordic infrastructure for Research & Education Segmenting Providers (Preliminary)

Tier 1:- Vendors such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft. Individual NRENs are likely to have/want a direct relationship with these vendors.  Likewise these vendors are structured in a way that will make a global approach unlikely to succeed WITHIN their corporations – internal lack of alignment, segmentation, local incentives, etc . Therefore the opportunity here is probably to share on specific projects or aspects rather than through a Directing REN type approach.

Segmenting Providers (Preliminary)

Tier 2:Vendors such as Box etc, that are “Cloud Native” and need consistent requirements from each country that can be applied to all participating institutions through an NREN, and also need to understand what limitations are imposed by the delivery location (e.g. Australia legislation), but are good targets for a combined business approach. Community Services (and VO services) fit into this category where they are expected to cross NREN’s

Segmenting Providers (Preliminary)

Tier 3:Smaller vendors and services that may be “cloud native” but are designed to be local rather than global – approach is more likely to be NREN by NREN.
