Opportunities and Challenges

This presentation by Michael Mundrane at UC Berkeley discusses the current state and challenges of campus cyberinfrastructure. It highlights the existing basic infrastructure, including gigabit intra-building networks and CENIC partnerships, while acknowledging the uneven LAN infrastructure across campus. The session focuses on the definition of value in relation to resource constraints and evolving support models, emphasizing the importance of engagement with faculty and strategic partners like LBNL. Engaging diverse stakeholders is critical in optimizing resources and enhancing research connectivity.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Campus Leadership Engagement in Building a Coherent Campus Cyberinfrastructure Opportunities and Challenges Michael Mundrane University of California, Berkeley 11 October 2010

  2. Basic Infrastructure Exists • Open networks • Gigabit intra-building • 10G core • 10G edge • CENIC partnership • I2 relationship • Central data center • Services for purchase • But ..... uneven LAN infrastructure

  3. Environment Reality • 40/60 central/distributed • Varied needs • Varied wants • Culture of uniqueness • B2B vs. B2C • Resource constraints mean tradeoffs • Perceived zero sum game • Value driven instead of cost driven

  4. Definition of Value There is a simple working definition that can be applied in a business sense. Benefit Value = Cost

  5. Better Definition of Value A more accurate definition reflects real world tradeoffs and compromise. Realized Benefit = Value Total Actual Cost

  6. Evolving Support • Data Network Recharge (DNR) • Capital Investment (Core/Riser) • Common good funding (OE) • Investment towards higher base level • Scale beyond department • Regent resolution

  7. Strategic Partner • Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL) • Proximity • Joint appointments • Research connectivity • Pursuing 10G direct connectivity • HPC (5/200/15,400) • Broad participation (73)

  8. Faculty Support • Engagement • Cyberdays • Data services • Consultation pre-proposal • Valued by PI • Fast startup post award • Increased utilization • Diverse faculty

  9. Questions Questions?
