  • Broadband for Education: the National Internet2 K20 Initiative’S and WICHE’S Recommendations to the FCC
    Broadband for Education: The National Internet2 K20 Initiative’s and WICHE’s Recommendations to the FCC Who are we? Internet2: We bring together Internet2’s world-class network and research community members with innovators from colleges and universities, primary and secondary schools, libraries, museums and other educational institutions, the full spectrum of America’s education community, including both formal and informal education. The National K20 Initiative extends new technologies, applications, and rich educational content to all students, their families and communities – no matter where they’re located. We have had immense success connecting the institutions above – in fact, over 65,000 institutions are now connected to the National Internet2 network – but to realize fully the potential of Internet2 all institutions must have adequate bandwidth. What follows are principles we endorse and urge the FCC to adopt. We divide our recommendations into two interrelated categories: connectivity and e-rate support. Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE): WICHE and its 15 member states work to improve access to higher education and ensure student success. Our student exchange programs, regional initiatives, and our research and policy work allow us to assist constituents in the West and beyond. Equitable access to broadband technology and, in particular, technology-enabled education, is among our strategies. At present much of the West, particularly the “frontier West,” has little or no access to adequate bandwidth. Many of our institutions are not among those connected by and participating in the Internet2 K20 Initiative. The principles and recommendations below would remedy this situation. Our recommendations: (1) Connectivity • Elementary schools, secondary schools, and branch libraries should be connected at 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps.

  • The Quilt a Collaboration of U.S. Research and Education Networks
    The Quilt A Collaboration of U.S. Research and Education Networks Slide 1 April 15, 2014 The Quilt The Quilt is a non-profit collaboration of our country’s advanced regional research and education networks. Created in 2000, The Quilt is a member- powered, vibrant forum where leaders from these networks come together to exchange knowledge, experience and ideas to collectively advance networking for research & education. The Quilt aims to influence the national agenda on information technology infrastructure, with particular emphasis on networking for research and education. Through this coalition, Quilt members collaborate to promote the delivery of networking services at lower cost, higher performance and greater reliability and security. Quilt members are our country’s not-for-profit networking organizations serving research and education with similar missions to; support research and education, collaborate, manage advanced networks, provide advanced networking services and further knowledge and innovation. Slide 2 April 15, 2014 Introductions • The U.S. non-profit research and education networks are funded, governed and structured differently. These aspects of the organizations reflect the diverse and complex environments of the communities and states in which they operate. • While diverse in some aspects, these organizations are similarly missioned with common goals which are to provide an advanced network infrastructure, services and applications which support of the research and education goals of the institutions each serve.

  • Description of Omnipop for Proposals
    Description of OmniPoP for Proposals Summary The OmniPoP is a collaborative effort between 12 of the member universities of the Big Ten Academic Alliance. Together, these institutions have pooled their efforts to create a high performance shared infrastructure based in the Chicago area. This infrastructure was designed to complement and augment the shared fiber infrastructure that the Big Ten Academic Alliance members had previously purchased. The OmniPoP operates a high capacity switching infrastructure that supports 10 gigabit and 100 gigabit connections to its member institutions and equivalent high capacity links to national research and education networks such as Internet2, ESnet, and Starlight. This allows OmniPoP connections to be leveraged to provide services to large data flows in support of multi-institutional cooperative research efforts. Efforts supported today include interconnections between the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Tier 2 efforts at the member institutions and the Midwest Openflow Crossroads Initiative (MOXI) project which links several midwest regional networks to the GENI backbone. OmniPoP Infrastructure and Peerings The Omnipop infrastructure consists of a redundant pair of 100 gigabit capable switches. These switches operate from geographically diverse co-location facilities within the Chicago metropolitan areas. These facilities also serve as Points of Presence (PoPs) for other major networks such as Internet2, ESnet (Department of Energy’s Energy Sciences Network), and Starlight (the international peering exchange), enabling seamless cross connections to the major national and international research and education networks that support much of the academic research community. An additional benefit to these facilities is that they offer the opportunity for Big Ten Academic Alliance members to co-locate additional network related equipment in support of their own projects independent of the OmniPoP core infrastructure.
