  1. What is LONI? MICHAEL D.ABBIATTI Associate Commissioner Information and Learning Technology Louisiana Board of Regents

  2. Louisiana Optical Network Initiative • Technical infrastructure to include connection to the National LambdaRail • Economic Development engine • Change agent

  3. Technical Infrastructure • National LambdaRail node • Optical network resource • Grid computing resource • Evolving “skinware” resource

  4. Research Institutions • LSU A&M • Southern Baton Rouge • U Louisiana Lafayette • U New Orleans • LSU Health Science Center N.O. • LSU Health Science Center S’port • Louisiana TECH • Tulane

  5. La Tech University @ 40Gbps LSU Health Science Center @ 20Gbps Southern University @ 40Gbps Louisiana State University @ 40Gbps University of New Orleans @ 40Gbps University of LA, Lafayette @ 60Gbps Tulane University @ 40Gbps LSU Health Science Center @ 20Gbps

  7. Economic Development • Research opportunities • Spin-off opportunities • Minimize lost opportunity costs • Positioning for the global economy

  8. Change Agent..Transition from….. The geographic delta was formed by shifts in the speed and direction of the Mississippi River. New, extremely fertile land was deposited as the river responded to geographic barriers – seeking the most direct route to the Gulf of Mexico.

  9. Change AgentTransition to…… Today's economic delta is being formed by market forces that dictate the flow of a rising tide of information. This “river” of facts and figures changes course by the nanosecond, carving out “islands of opportunity”.

  10. Transitional Convergence • The geographic Mississippi Delta was transformed by low tech and hand power. • The economic Mississippi Delta is being transformed by high tech and mind power. • LONI is the change agent driving Transitional Convergence.

  11. The LONI Equations : High Speed Networks + Distributed Parallel Processing + Innovative Minds = LONI LONI x Applications = Economic Development

  12. Bottom Line • The Louisiana Optical Network Initiative is another example of the fact that : • LOUISIANA IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS !
