Connectivity Services
Flexible Connectivity Options
Access to the GÉANT network provides the standard, high bandwidth IP connectivity (GÉANT IP). In addition, GÉANT offers the benefit of a “virtual” private network created by reserving capacity on the network backbone (GÉANT Plus or GÉANT Lambda). These specialised point-to-point connections provide dedicated bandwidth without the cost and difficulty of building and managing a private network.
GÉANT IP
The network’s standard connectivity service provides robust, high-bandwidth access to and across the shared European Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure.
GÉANT Plus
Provides point-to-point connectivity across reserved, high-speed, guaranteed-bandwidth circuits on pre-provisioned infrastructure. This combines the privacy, security and availability of a private network with the cost-efficiency and robustness of a shared and managed infrastructure
GÉANT Lambda
A bespoke service designed to cater for longer term, extremely data-intensive network connectivity requirements. These connections provide a dedicated, full 10 Gbps wavelength (or set of wavelengths) to deliver high capacity for the most demanding of user projects.
