  • 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.

  • The Quilt Circle 2015
    The quilt Circle National Regional Networks Consortium ...Advanced regional networking in support of research and education 2015 Edition A Letter from the President This year’s edition of The Quilt Circle is bursting with projects and programs enabled by the regional research and education networks that comprise our Quilt membership. Naturally, The Quilt is proud of the positive impact our member networks and organizations have on the communities they serve. Our annual publication gives us the opportunity to showcase the work of our members and highlight the collective impact each have on the institutions they serve and support across the nation. Given the depth and breadth of our members’ work, it can be challenging to select a single image that effectively captures and communicates its impact. This year’s cover, the image of DNA strands, is truly a fitting one to represent the work of our regional research and education network community. For those of you already familiar with the work of the regional research and education (R&E) network in your area and for those who are just learning about them for the first time in The Quilt Circle, you will quickly learn that our R&E networking DNA is indeed unique. It is in our R&E networking DNA to ensure our community of connected institutions are able to access advanced networking capabilities, tools and services when and how they need it, with the best possible performance so that the network is not an impediment to scientific progress. It is in our DNA for our networking organizations to be driven by the interests of our user communities to enable these institutions to fulfill their promise and mission.
