Bridges is building a high-bandwidth, fully virtualized infrastructure across the Atlantic connecting collaborative US and European research programs.

Bridges is implementing, developing and demonstrating the value of the Generalized Virtualization Model to enable dynamic and intelligent networked and globally distributed "application specific" services.

  • Four BRIDGES “Nodes” connected by four 100 Gbps waves

  • The Waves are all 100 Gbps ETH/OTN framing.

  • Each BRIDGES node has 24 core X86 platform, with up to 2x100Gbps network interfaces.

Here are the main people in the team of BRIDGES.
