Dear Ina,
We would like to participate in this proof of concept by transferring big data from UK and Portugal to Morocco.

Thank you

Dear AOSP Colleagues

Please participate in this, shared on behalf of Dr Renier van Heerden, SANReN (NICIS). All African countries and disciplines doing data-intensive research, most welcome to participate.

Kind regards
Ina (on behalf of the AOSP Team)
-------------------------------------------------
The South African National Research Network (SANReN, NICIS) are working on a service for the South African Research and Education community - big data transfer service. This will be based on Science DMZs and data transfer nodes (DTNs). Currently, we have nodes at CSIR (Pretoria), WITS (Johannesburg) and Cape Town.

We are looking for users with large data sets to be used for proof of concepts for the service. Anyone with > 10 GB of research/science data, particularly those with current issues in moving it around (e.g. considers shipping hard-drives of data instead of using the SA NREN), are good potentials.

Please contact Renier van Heerden (renier at sanren.ac.za<mailto:renier at sanren.ac.za> ) or Kasandra Pillay or the PERT team pert at sanren.ac.za<mailto:pert at sanren.ac.za> if we can assist with your large data transfers.
