  1. George Laskaris New Jersey’s College & Universities integrating technologies into instruction, research and public service through an enhanced statewide data/video network

  2. Impact of Internet2 and Next Generation Networks in Higher Education • Providing “orders of magnitude” or a 100-fold increase in bandwidth capacity over current networks • Providing advanced communications tools and collaborative opportunities between researchers around the world • Enabling ambitious large-scale next generation projects and applications that support new research models • Beginning to re-shape federal funding policies that favor diverse collaborative research paradigms

  3. Emerging National Trends in Support of Advanced Research Infrastructure: • High performance GRID computing • Optical networking (I2/National Lambda Rail) • Large scale network attached storage supporting federated research repositories • Ability to provide Terabits to the desktop • Advanced data visualization capabilities supporting 100+ Megapixel displays

  6. Advanced Network Application Attributes • Interactive collaboration • Real-time access to remote resources

  7. High Performance Group-to-Group Collaboration ; 150 sites worldwide http://www.accessgrid.org/

  8. Brain Imaging Collaboration -- UCSD & Osaka Using Real-Time Instrument Steering and HDTV Southern California OptIPuter Most Powerful Electron Microscope in the World -- Osaka, Japan UCSD HDTV Source: Mark Ellisman, UCSD

  9. UC Irvine UC San Diego Enhanced collaboration Using HD Digital Video over National Lambda Rail to Create a Distributed Collaboration Laboratory

  11. Next Generation Research PCs • Terabits to the Desktop… • 100 Megapixel Display • 55-Panel • 1/3 Terabit/sec I/O • 30 x 10GE interfaces • 1/4 TeraFLOP • Driven by 30 Node Cluster • 1/8 TB RAM • 60 TB Disk

  12. Benefits of Advanced Research Networks • Collaboration opportunities with global communities and working groups • Increased opportunities for grants $$ • Ability to tap into remote expertise and experiences • Ability to provide terabits to the desktop • Ability to bring the world into the classroom

  13. Current New Jersey Plans • NJEDge is currently planning a next generation regional optical network that will support global collaborations and allow NJ researchers to successfully compete for federal research funding. • Working with the NJPC to develop a research agenda for the state that will provide advanced technology infrastructure that supports research and development opportunities between academia and industry. • Next generation infrastructure is needed to stimulate the economy and provide NJ with a competitive advantage.

  14. About NJEDge.Net • Statewide Higher Education Network • Provide a private high-performance network infrastructure (53 members) • Created to support new forms of inter-institutional collaboration and to, • Leverage collective buying power of the membership to achieve economies of scale

  15. Advantages of the New Design • 230% increase in bandwidth capacity • Access to national optical networking initiatives – National Lambda Rail and federal research repositories • Access to high-performance GRID computing – SUN Microsystems • Disaster Recovery options with excess capacity – Sunguard

  16. NJEDge Network Resources • Broadband Internet Service Provider (900+Mbps) • Sophisticated video conferencing & distance learning capabilities • Streaming video resources • Interoperability with the K-12 Video Portal (Access New Jersey) • Shared access to Satellite Uplink/Downlink • Provide peering and exchange points

  17. NJEDge Network Capabilities • Support for new forms of inter-institutional collaboration and statewide applications: • New joint programs between institutions • Resource sharing (expertise & equipment) • Coordinated professional development • Creation of optimal environments to support teaching and learning • New opportunities for research collaboration

  18. Network Capabilities Cont. • “Extending the reach” of higher ed to: • Off-campus learners • K-12 • Corporate and community constituents • Support research and development partnerships with industry

  19. Efficiencies/Economies of Scale • Internet services / Voice services • Statewide software site licensing • New joint statewide applications services: • Help Desk consortium • Disaster Recovery • Video on Demand Digital Library • Large-scale network attached storage • Sharing of expensive scientific instrumentation

  20. Building Community • Organize statewide working groups • Distance Learning Academic Advisory Board • Coordinated Faculty Development Initiative – emphasis on showcasing best practices • Educational Activities Task Force • Data Resources Group • Video and Voice Resources Groups • Networking and the Performing Arts Initiative

  21. Next Steps • Exploring member interest in creating a research applications support group • Plans underway to recruit and hire an Internet2 Applications Coordinator to facilitate support of the research community • Looking to identify a high-profile collaborative research application between NJEDge members • Planning hands-on workshops to demonstrate network interfacing of scientific instrumentation

  22. Next Steps • Collaborating with other state education networks building regional optical infrastructures to explore peering and optical exchange points
