CENIC News:

President's Message: The Year in Review
One of the rewards at this time of the year is the satisfaction resulting 
from looking back on a year of accomplishment on behalf of one of the most 
vibrant and innovative R&E
communities in the world.  Let me review the 2006-07 fiscal year and share 
with you some of its highlights I've reflected on.

This year, CENIC was pleased to welcome the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research 
Institute along with both the University of San Diego and the University of 
San Francisco to
CalREN, and all three institutions currently enjoy high-bandwidth 
connectivity to the CalREN backbone.

A great deal of activity has also taken place over the entire CalREN-DC 
network, which supports the day-to-day educational activities of 9.5 
million students, faculty, and
instructional staff throughout the state.  Plans for a statewide refresh of 
the DC network were approved by the Board last year, resulting in the 
issuance and award of an RFP late
in 2006.  Nearly all the upgrade equipment has shipped, and collocation 
facilities are being upgraded to house the new equipment, the first of 
which will be installed during the
next month. Final implementation will extend until late this calendar 
year.  With its completion, the CalREN-DC network’s current 2.5 Gb/s 
backbone speed will be increased to
10 Gb/s and a significant portion of our underlying optical infrastructure 
will have been replaced with the latest equipment.   On the heels of the DC 
network refresh, plans are
being finalized for the HPR network upgrade, with issuance of an RFP 
expected by the end of the first quarter of the new year, putting the HPR 
refresh on a schedule about a year
behind the DC Network upgrade.

At the end of the last fiscal year, CENIC and the Imperial County Office of 
Education worked together to plan needed circuit upgrades to K-12 county 
offices of education around
the state.  In total, nine county offices of education’s circuits to the 
CalREN backbone were upgraded to Gigabit connectivity.  In addition, the 
Ventura County Office of Education
received a second DS-3 connection to CalREN to provide bandwidth in 
anticipation of a Gigabit connection during the upcoming fiscal year.

Improved connectivity between community colleges and the CalREN backbone 
also occurred. Two community college districts were designated for circuit 
upgrades to Gigabit
speeds: the Coast and San Diego Community College Districts.  The San Ramon 
Valley campus of Diablo Valley College received a DS-3 connection to 
CalREN, and Vista
College became Berkeley City College upon moving to a new location in 
downtown Berkeley; the campus’s DS-3 connection was moved as well.  The San 
Bernardino Valley
College received Gigabit connectivity to CalREN, which will enable the 
campus to move forward with its rich-media distance education project 
EduStream.org, an Innovations in
Networking award-winner at this year’s CENIC annual conference in La 
Jolla.  The West Hills College Lemoore site was upgraded to full campus 
status, and the CCC Chancellor’s
Office authorized a DS-3 for the site.

Last year, I was delighted to report the expansion of the CalREN backbone 
with the addition of a 400-mile fiber path through the Coachella Valley, 
thanks to a grant from the H. N.
and Frances C. Berger Foundation.  The beginning of the 2006-07 fiscal year 
saw Gigabit connectivity to CalREN for the College of the Desert, the 
area’s largest higher education
institution with an enrollment of over 10,000.

The CSU’s Campus Access Infrastructure Initiative (CAI) seeks to provide 
all Cal State University campuses with dual, diverse Gigabit connectivity 
to the CalREN backbone.  At
the end of this fiscal year, I'm delighted to report that Sacramento State, 
San Diego State, and San Jose State Universities, the California Maritime 
Academy, CSU East Bay, and
CSU Monterey Bay now all enjoy the dual, diverse Gigabit connectivity to 
CalREN that the CAI aims to provide.

The CSU Chancellor’s Office obtained Gigabit connectivity to the Los 
Angeles node site to supplement its DS-3 connectivity to the Tustin node, 
and CSU Channel Islands
received the first of its dual, diverse Gigabit connections to 
CalREN.  Moss Landing Marine Laboratories obtained improved service via a 
shared Gigabit circuit with Monterey Bay
Aquarium Research Institute.  In addition, fiber installation projects are 
underway at Cal Poly Pomona and Cal State Los Angeles.

This fiscal year was a year of continued progress for the University of 
California in terms of network connectivity to the CalREN backbone, with 
multiple projects in various stages
of development to enhance UC connectivity.  A second fiber path to the 
CalREN backbone was approved for UC Santa Barbara, the planning to provide 
fiber connectivity to UC
Santa Cruz has been completed, and implementation of a fiber path to the 
Medical Center at UC San Diego is nearing completion.  The UC system also 
began a migration to
CalREN Video Services for their videoconference needs, and CENIC is working 
together with the UC system to study the uses of high-performance 
networking to address
telemedicine and e-health concerns throughout the state, particularly in 
rural areas.

Connectivity to the Naval Postgraduate School was enhanced with the 
replacement of a managed-service Gigabit connection to the CalREN backbone 
with a fiber connection,
capable of providing even higher speed connectivity than the campus 
currently enjoys.

The R&E network and commodity peering initiatives, Pacific Wave and 
TransitRail respectively, have also made significant progress.  The 
collection of South American research
and education networks redCLARA is now connected to the Pacific Wave 
peering facility, a joint project between CENIC and the Pacific Northwest 
Gigapop (PNWGP) in
collaboration with the University of Southern California and the University 
of Washington.  A 10-Gigabit connection was also established between 
Translight/Pacific Wave and
Translight/StarLight.

TransitRail is a national commodity peering program also deployed and 
operated by CENIC and PNWGP.  The full TransitRail national footprint is 
comprised of five nodes in
Seattle, Sunnyvale, Los Angeles, Ashburn, and Chicago, enabling research 
and education institutions to take advantage of low-cost network peering on 
a national scale.  The
Ashburn node was announced by both CENIC and PNWGP in March 2007, with the 
final node in Chicago becoming active in June.  With the Chicago node 
active and the national
footprint in place, even greater interest is anticipated, and the next 
phase of growth for the program will involve a new round of peering points 
driven by partnership opportunities.
TransitRail reduces the cost of commodity (non R&E traffic) to CENIC’s 
member institutions.

Looking back on this list of achievements, it’s easy to take pride in them 
as examples of what CENIC has accomplished to serve California’s R&E 
community, but that’s not the
real story.  It’s important for each and every one of our Associates, our 
corporate partners, and the members of our committees and councils as well 
as our staff to remember that
CENIC itself is composed of all of you.  Therefore, this list of 
achievements should be a source of pride for all of you as well because in 
a very real sense, you are CENIC.

Therefore, as much pleasure as I take in these achievements, I take even 
greater pleasure in congratulating all of you on them, and in looking 
forward to what is sure to be an
even more impressive list at the end of the 2007-08 fiscal year.

CalREN Update: Network Projects and Activities
CalREN-DC-Refresh Project:
The current CalREN-DC backbone speed is 2.5 Gb/s, and CENIC is currently 
undertaking an upgrade/refresh of the entire CalREN-DC network that will 
increase this speed to
10 Gb/s as well as upgrading and replacing vital equipment. This project is 
called the CalREN-DC Refresh Project.  One of the main activities for 
CENIC's engineering staff
while moving forward on the CalREN-DC Refresh continues to be the 
considerable evaluation, documentation, and planning work needed in 
preparation for deployment of all the
hardware needed to upgrade. Where needed, additional space and power is 
being installed, and <http://www.cisco.com/>Cisco has begun to ship the new 
hardware.  Stay tuned to CENIC Today
during the coming months for further updates on this project.

CSU Updates:
Several fiber builds to serve four Southern California CSU campuses are 
well underway. While specific completion dates are not yet available, CENIC 
is targeting late summer
for <http://www.csusb.edu/>CSU San Bernardino and late fall to early winter 
for <http://www.calstatela.edu/>Cal<http://www.calstatela.edu/> State LA, 
<http://www.csupomona.edu/>Cal Poly<http://www.csupomona.edu/> Pomona, and 
<http://www.csusm.edu/>CSU San Marcos.  With the completion of these 
projects, all four campuses will
enjoy enhanced Gigabit connectivity to the CalREN backbone.  We look 
forward to providing you with updates and announcements of the completions 
of these fiber builds,
as well as keeping you informed on the campuses' achievements thanks to 
their enhanced connectivity to one another and the world.

CCC Updates:
CENIC has been working with the <http://www.cccco.edu/>California Community 
College Chancellor's Office on bandwidth utilization assessments and 
identifying sites in need of additional bandwidth.
This is an ongoing process and although not yet complete, several large 
districts have already been identified as being eligible for upgrades to 
Gigabit connections. Orders for
these upgrades are in the process of being placed. 
<http://columbia.yosemite.cc.ca.us/>Columbia College, one of the most 
recent CCC sites to receive its own connection, successfully tested its H.323
videoconferencing equipment with the <http://noc.cenic.org/>CENIC 
<http://noc.cenic.org/>Network Operations Center and is now ready to take 
advantage of <http://cvs.cenic.org/>CalREN Video Services.

K12 Updates:
The <http://www.k12hsn.org/>K12 High-Speed Network (K12HSN) has identified 
nearly a dozen K12 node sites eligible for upgraded connections to Gigabit 
circuits. Updated site and facilities
information is being collected, and it is expected that the orders for 
these circuits will be placed within the next thirty days.

TransitRail on the Move: National Peering Program Footprint Expands with 
Turn-Up of Chicago Node
The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) and 
Pacific Northwest Gigapop (PNWGP) announced on July 3, 2007 the expansion 
of the TransitRail
commodity peering program's national footprint with the activation of a 
connection point in Chicago, IL.

With the Chicago node now active and the national footprint in place, 
TransitRail members have more TransitRail connection points to choose from, 
allowing groups to engineer
both service redundancy and improvement of network performance through 
reduced transit times.

TransitRail's US footprint is connected by 10Gbps waves provided by 
National LambdaRail (NLR). Each TransitRail node will be connected to, and 
accessible at, NLR points of
presence throughout the United States, enabling NLR participants to 
leverage their membership in that organization even further through 
participation a national-level peering
program.

In addition, the completion of the new node solidifies TransitRail's role 
within the widely-respected community of Tier-1 national and international 
peering networks.

Geographic Information Systems: Better with Broadband
The first known use of geographic information systems 
(<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIS>GIS) -- analyzing data geographically to 
solve problems -- occurred in 1855 when John Snow built a map of the Soho
area of London that permitted him to pinpoint the source of an outbreak of 
cholera by referencing reported cases of what was at that time a common 
disease.  When viewed in
this fashion, the data revealed the source of the outbreak clearly: an 
infected water pump at the center of town.  However, Snow's map was drawn 
over a year after the
outbreak itself, making his conclusions useful only in hindsight.

Technology has come quite a bit father since Snow's hand-drawn ex post 
facto map.  Researchers are able to switch at a whim to multiple views of 
the same data, to
cross-reference varied sources of data, and to watch data evolve live over 
time.  Disciplines as widely divergent as disaster response, real estate, 
agriculture, climate change,
epidemiology, and other areas of knowledge intimately related to geography 
and human presence have benefited tremendously from GIS.  And GIS 
technology has positioned
itself at the cutting edge of those which can benefit most from broadband 
networking.  Data must not only be sent back and forth quickly around the 
world, but the data itself
must be harvested from disparate sources including satellites, hospitals 
and police stations, schools, ground stations, and other sources.  In 
situations such as earthquakes,
fires, and other fast-acting natural disasters, the data must be made 
available with lightning speed and great precision.

Of course the California research community and CalREN Associates are among 
the premiere researchers in the world in the arena of GIS.  One of those 
Associate bodies is
the San Diego State University's Visualization Center, which played a 
crucial role at making geospatial data available worldwide to researchers 
and responders in the hours
following the Indonesian tsunami and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.  With the 
amounts of data necessary to make GIS as useful as it must be in these dire 
situations, broadband
is sine qua non for optimum performance.  "All the data that sits on my 
servers is free," says senior research scientist John Graham, "and there's 
terabytes of it.  To get this
data to the people who need it in a timely fashion, fiber networks like 
CalREN are essential."

GIS also illustrates clearly the importance of a well-developed broadband 
infrastructure that penetrates into multiple types of institutions.  With 
interconnection into fire and police
departments, such networks can gather and process fire and crime data in 
real-time.  Hospitals can make properly secured case data available, 
enabling responders to view
and adjust to infection or disaster as such events develop.  With networks 
like CalREN, John Snow's 1855 map of a year-old cholera outbreak could be 
made useful during the
outbreak itself, telling us not only where we have been before, but where 
we are headed and how best to get there.

Visualization Center online to learn more about it.

SDSC to Help Build ORION Cyberinfrastructure for Ocean Observatories
The world’s oceans have traditionally been only sparsely observed from a 
handful of expensive, moving ships. To expand knowledge of the oceans on a 
planetary scale for fields
from climate change to marine genomics and fisheries management, 
oceanographers will deploy a global network of moored buoys or 
observatories, whose multiple instruments
will provide continuous data to fill in vital knowledge gaps.

Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and Calit2 at 
UCSD, leveraging the cyberinfrastructure expertise of SDSC, will design and 
build the Cyberinfrastructure
portion of the project. The initial $29 million award is for six years, 
with total funding up to $42 million over the 11-year project. The 
cyberinfrastructure will transport real-time data
streams from a variety of ocean-dwelling sensors and instruments. The data 
will be made available in real time to every researcher, teacher and 
citizen. The “virtual” infrastructure
will also underpin the physical infrastructure of two related projects, a 
regional, cabled network in the Northeast Pacific Ocean, and expanded 
coastal observing facilities.

UCLA Scholars and Students, International Team Resurrect Ancient Rome Digitally
Mayor of Rome Walter Veltroni officiated Monday at the first public viewing 
of "Rome Reborn 1.0," a 10-year project begun at UCLA and based at the 
University of Virginia that used
advanced technology to digitally rebuild ancient Rome. The event took place 
at Rome's Palazzo Senatorio on Capitoline Hill, which overlooks the ruins 
of the ancient Forum.

An international team of archaeologists, architects and computer 
specialists from Italy, the United States, Britain and Germany employed the 
same high-tech tools used for
simulating contemporary cities — including laser scanners and virtual 
reality — to construct the largest, most complete simulation of a historic 
city to date.

"Rome Reborn" encompasses nearly the entire ancient city within the 
13-mile-long Aurelian Walls as it appeared in A.D. 320. At that time, Rome 
was the multicultural capital of
the Western world and had reached the peak of its development, with an 
estimated population of 1 million.

The simulation is a true three-dimensional model that runs in real time and 
allows users to navigate the environment with complete freedom, moving in 
any direction at will.
Viewers can enter such important public buildings as the Roman Senate 
House, the Colosseum, and the Temple of Venus and Rome, the ancient city's 
largest place of worship.

As new discoveries are made, "Rome Reborn 1.0" can be easily updated to 
reflect the latest knowledge about the ancient city. In future versions, 
the project will include other
phases in the evolution of the city, from the late Bronze Age in the 10th 
century B.C. to the Gothic Wars in the 6th century. Video clips and still 
images can be viewed at
www.romereborn.virginia.edu and at www.etc.ucla.edu.

Going Mobile: Extending Grid to the Lower End
Think your cell phone has nothing to contribute to grid services?  Think 
again.

Stavros Isaiadis of the University of Westminster is working on the 
so-called “lower end” of the grid performance spectrum, as part of 
<http://www.coregrid.net/>CoreGRID, and the university’s Distributed
and Intelligent Systems Group, led by Vladimir Getov.

“Grid usually revolves around high performance computing,” explains 
Isaiadis, “which means you need raw resources—things like CPU and memory. 
Framed like this, mobile
devices can only make a very limited contribution.”

But, Isaiadis asks, what about flexibility, agility, mobility?

“Mobile devices can extend grids into areas where static grids can not go. 
You can leverage resources from many devices, like from WiFi hotspots or 
conference rooms, to
create an ad hoc high performance facility. You don't have infrastructure, 
but you can provide instant facilities for collaboration.”

Mobile devices have even more to offer to grid providers with unique 
functionality requirements, and can include multimedia equipment, Global 
Positioning Systems and
context-awareness.
