The investment to build Janet6 as the next generation of the UK's national research and education network will add value across the sector from high-end research to universities, colleges and schools. It will also enable research to stay competitive on both a national and international level, and support the £60bn contribution that HE brings to the UK economy. Managing the network to the optical layer ensures that for the next decade we can achieve maximum agility and scalability to meet customer demands. The new operating model for Janet6 will allow us to do so very cost-effectively in these challenging times. Research shows that as institutions use innovative methods to deliver digital resources to their students, so their use of different devices over the network grows. In addition to the normal Moore's Law increase, there will also be massive data requirements from data intensive research. The high capacity Janet network means that research in biomedical sciences, climate science and genomics can continue at current rates, even with the need for the transfer of large data sets, as well as high performance computing, that are needed for research and analysis in these subject areas. In such a volatile and changing market, Tim Marshall explores how we can ensure that we deliver value to customers in response to continually changing and demanding requirements.
