Network
The network is the foundation of all ict facilities at your institution. No education, research and innovation with ict without a stable network. That is why we at SURF continuously work on a reliable, flexible and powerful network.

Thousands of students, faculty and staff use the SURF network every day to do their jobs and stay connected. And they are - justifiably - becoming increasingly demanding. That is why we are constantly innovating to make the network faster, safer and more reliable.

Participating service providers

Service providers of, for example, computing, storage and telephony can also connect to NetherLight. All educational and research institutions connected to the SURF network can set up EVPN connections to these providers (provided they are customers of the relevant provider). This allows providers to offer services via NetherLight and the broadband SURF network without loss of quality and security.
