**GLORIAD** (**Global Ring Network for Advanced Application Development**) is a high-speed [computer network](/source/Computer_network) used to connect scientific organizations in [Russia](/source/Russia), [China](/source/China), [United States](/source/United_States), the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands), [Korea](/source/Korea) and [Canada](/source/Canada). India, Singapore, Vietnam, and Egypt were added in 2009.[1]

GLORIAD is sponsored by the US [National Science Foundation](/source/National_Science_Foundation), a consortium of science organizations and Ministries in Russia, the [Chinese Academy of Sciences](/source/Chinese_Academy_of_Sciences), the Ministry of Science and Technology of Korea, the Canadian [CANARIE](/source/CANARIE) network, the national research network in The Netherlands [SURFnet](/source/SURFnet) and has some telecommunications services donated by [Tyco Telecommunications](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tyco_Telecommunications&action=edit&redlink=1).

GLORIAD provides [bandwidth](/source/Bandwidth_(computing)) of up to 10 Gbit/s via [OC-192](/source/OC-192) links, e.g. between [KRLight](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=KRLight&action=edit&redlink=1) in Korea and the [Pacific NorthWest GigaPOP](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pacific_NorthWest_GigaPOP&action=edit&redlink=1) in the United States.

The previous version of the network, "Little GLORIAD", was completed in mid-2004, and it connected [Chicago](/source/Chicago), [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong), [Beijing](/source/Beijing), [Novosibirsk](/source/Novosibirsk), [Moscow](/source/Moscow), [Amsterdam](/source/Amsterdam) and Chicago again.
