Science Information NETwork (SINET) is an information and communication network built and operated by the National Institute of Informatics (NII) as scientific information infrastructure for universities and research institutions throughout Japan.
With nodes across Japan, SINET is provided to universities and research institutions to support community-building among the numerous people involved in research and education, and to encourage wide distribution of scientific information.
SINET is interconnected with many research networks overseas, including Internet2 in the United States and GÉANT in Europe. SINET facilitates the circulation of research information between countries, which is vital for advanced international research projects.
Wasabi is part of the SINET community through a Network Peering arrangement, enabling SINET members and partners to leverage the high-speed and secure SINET connectivity for seamless access to Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage. To connect to Wasabi services, institutions must subscribe to the necessary SINET service.
