Japan – NEC Advances Research Information Infrastructure for Open Science

NEC Advances Research Information Infrastructure for Open Science

Supplying a Total Solution for Optimal Research

TOKYO, Japan, Nov 17, 2025 – (JCN Newswire) –NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has actually released a brand-new suite of options created for research study organizations, such as universities, to promote open science.

By using an extensive set of services that improve competitiveness in research study and advancement and make sure the openness of research study results, NEC intends to add to the effective and reliable facility of research study info facilities (RII).

Recently, the pattern towards open science, which includes sharing research study information throughout society, has actually sped up. As an outcome, there is a growing need from research study organizations for better management, storage, and usage of research study information.

As part of enhancing worldwide research study competitiveness and making sure the openness of research study results, there is an increasing need for more powerful governance, consisting of requirements for the correct management and storage of research study information.

In action, NEC is introducing a suite of services that allows the effective and reliable production of RII, from intro to operation.

Worth Provided to Customers through Advanced Research Information Infrastructure

Adding To Enhanced Collaboration with Research Institutions and Accelerated real life Implementation through Advanced Research Information Infrastructure

NEC supplies a suite of options for the proper and effective usage of research study information throughout the whole lifecycle of research study, consisting of information generation, analysis, aggregation, management, publication, and usage. These services add to cultivating partnership with universities and research study organizations and promoting the real life application of research study findings.

Total Concept of Research Information Infrastructure(RII)

NEC provides the following options:

-NEC Ultra-high-speed Data Transfer System This system makes it possible for effective aggregation and sharing of massive research study information produced by different speculative and measurement centers and high-performance computing(HPC)simulations. It makes the most of network bandwidth and attains high-speed disk-to-disk information transfer. This service works in circumstances such as sharing massive speculative research study information, using massive information aggregation platforms, and executing service connection strategies (BCP).

Use Scenario of NEC Ultra-high-speed Data Transfer System

-NEC Data Provenance System for HPC(* 1 ) This system immediately gathers and enables recommendation to provenance info, such as input/output files and program execution information, in HPC simulations. It permits simple recommendation to provenance details without unique processing throughout simulation execution, and this details can likewise be shown others. This option works in enhancing research study effectiveness by clarifying simulation recreation treatments and streamlining the recognition of information to be conserved. It is likewise important for providing information as proof for documents and for usage in collective research study.

Use Scenario of NEC Data Provenance System for HPC

* Data Catalog and Portal System for Promoting Research Data Utilization, Including AI-driven Approaches Acting as a website for RII, this system promotes information aggregation and helps with information usage by users and administrators.
* Resource Pooling and Remote Resource Utilization System using NEC’s exclusive ExpEther (Express Ether) Technology for Reliable, Low-Latency Transmission of IT Device Signals (* 2) This system allows the usage of remote computing resources, even for delicate information that can not be taken off-site.

NEC offers these services as an integrated system customized to consumer environments.

Discuss this statement are as follows:

The University of Osaka D3 Center has actually introduced operations of the Data Provenance System for HPC through the “Osaka University Compute and sTOrage Platform Urging open Science” (OCTOPUS), a computational and information platform promoting open science presented in September 2025. Every day, supercomputers at computing centers evaluate and produce large quantities of scholastic information. Among the difficulties dealing with platform companies providing computational facilities for scholastic research study is how to guarantee the fairness of computations carried out on computer systems. Considering that the research study procedure and outcomes are typically taped and handled by hand by scientists, I think that understanding openness in the research study procedure and carrying out an effective audit path management system through the automation of recording of computational provenance will substantially add to promoting open science.

The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) is a job focused on building the world’s biggest radio telescope. This effort will need moving extraordinary volumes of observational information in between information centers worldwide, which provides a considerable difficulty in carrying out high-speed, trustworthy information transfer facilities. The ultra-high-speed information transfer system offered by NEC makes it possible for 100 Gbps-class interaction in between storage situated in remote locations, and we are presently carrying out confirmation screening to get ready for its intro as an efficient option to this difficulty.
