Network Overview• Yerphi Network has been developed beginning from 1994-1995

• 2001-2002 development by using DESY supported 10Mbps switches and routers• 2006- 2007 NATO Networking infrastructure project. In the framework of that project 4-wire Fiber optic cable are installed between 6 buildings of Yerphi. • 2008-2010 GRID Cluster Installation• 2011-2012 Yerphi LAN Upgrade founded by AANL• 2012 Batch Cluster Installation founded by AANL

• All computing facilities are included in YerPhl's Local Area Network. The most of services with TCP/IP protocol stack are available for end users.

• In total Yerphi computer network consists of over 400 workstations and servers They are located in 10 buildings at Yerphi and Aragats ,Nor-Hamberd Stations
