Leveraging SingAREN’s Networks and Services to Accelerate Data Transfer for NUS Researchers
Linda Lim, Executive, Engagement and Publicity, SingAREN
Improving routing efficiency while reducing latency, Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network (SingAREN) facilitates high-speed transfers of large datasets, both within Singapore and across international boundaries, for scientific research and enables advanced network technology demonstrations through its international links and high-speed fiber network. Nationally, SingAREN has developed a resilient fiber infrastructure inter-linking NUS, NTU, A*STAR and NSCC.
Besides advanced internet connectivity, SingAREN offers value-added services such as eduroam and Singapore Access Federation (SGAF). NUS staff and students can access a whole host of services provided by SGAF member institutions such as NSCC supercomputing portal and FileSender SG. You can login with your NUS credentials to use FileSender SG, a secure web-based file transfer service, to share large files of up to 50 GBs, with others in the research and education community at a much faster speed of 40 MB/s. A 12GB file takes only 5 minutes to be uploaded/downloaded.
SingAREN provides NUS researchers with complimentary consultation on network streamlining to massively speed up data set transfers. You can also access the eduroam WIFI securely, from other research and education institutions anywhere in the world, simply with your NUS credentials.
SingAREN is the sole provider of local and international networks dedicated to serving the research and education community in Singapore. The SingAREN Open Exchange (SOE) interconnects client institutions to international research and education networks including Asia, Australia, Europe, Middle East and the US, ranging from bandwidths between 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps.
