Interview

Belnet has long been a major player in the field of open science, including through its role as a mandated organisation of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Association. The company recently took on another new innovative project, the Federal Open Science Cloud (FedOSC). We spoke to Sam Kauranne, FedOSC Product Manager, who explained to us what exactly FedOSC is and what the project means to our community.

In today's digital world, government agencies are increasingly being targeted by cyberattacks. To defend itself more effectively against this, the Chancellery of the Prime Minister called upon Belnet's expertise to implement DNS Anycast Premium. David Van Dromme, Service Manager ICT Infrastructure, and Jan Kerstens, Enterprise Architect, share their experiences while implementing this solution and discuss the benefits of DNS Anycast Premium.

Since 2016, Belnet has been connecting the Federal Scientific Institutions (FSIs) with the internet and each other using the ScienceMAN network. One of the best known member organisations is undoubtedly the Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI).
