Participation and support of scientific, educational, technical, cultural and other programs and projects
IT Training and Education
Starting from 1997 biennial International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technologies (CSIT) is organized with the support of ASNET-AM.
ASNET-AM develops and provides advanced network services to the Academic, Research and Education communities of Armenia. The network interconnects about 60 scientific, research, educational, cultural and other organisations in 5 cities of Armenia, such as Yerevan, Ashtarak, Byurakan, Abovian, Gyumri, integrating them with the Pan-European Research and Education Network, GEANT. ASNET-AM network in Yerevan consists of dark fiber infrastructure with current link bandwidth from 100 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s.
Clustering/GRID
ASNET-AM supported the creation of first and most powerful supercomputer center in the field of science and education in Armenia - ArmCluster established in 2004. Currently ASNET-AM serves as the foundation for advanced computing applications in Armenia and provides its infrastructure for ArmGrid [[3]] backbone network. ASNET-AM participates in the HP-SEE, High-Performance Computing Infrastructure for South East Europe's Research Communities EU project that will link existing and upcoming HPC facilities in South East Europe in a common infrastructure, and it will provide operational solutions[buzzword] for it.
