  1. John Hernandez Network Engineer IV NCAR/CISL Network Engineering & Telecommunications Section How the Bi-State Optical Network (BiSON) serves UCAR and the NWSC

  2. Overview • Bi-State Optical Network (BiSON) Partnership • UCAR’s footprint on BiSON • What BiSON does for us • Work in Progress • My other projects at NCAR • Questions?

  3. BiSON Partnership • Current partners are NCAR, NOAA-Boulder, CU-Boulder, University of Wyoming and Colorado State University • Original fiber network connected Boulder, Denver, Laramie, Fort Collins and Longmont in a ring. • Cheyenne build incorporated the NWSC in 2011 • Adva is our vendor for Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) equipment • Capacity of 80 x 10G channels in 2010, support for 100G circuits

  4. UCAR’s BiSON Footprint 60 Gb/s - Boulder campuses 50Gb/s - NWSC 50 Gb/s - Denver 40 Gb/s - Front Range GigaPoP 10 Gb/s - XSEDE

  5. BiSON facilitates… • Movement of large data sets between Boulder and NWSC • Scientific collaboration within the CO-WY area • Dissemination of data to peer institutions, nationwide and abroad • Access to National Research and Education Networks and shared, XSEDE, high capacity, commodity Internet connections

  6. Work in Progress… • Linear expansion Denver to Golden for Colorado School of Mines • Technology refresh • Some components end-of-support in 2015 • Additional circuits for partners • Leasing new / replacement fiber paths • Relocation of existing path between Ft Collins and Laramie

  7. What else I do at NCAR • Security & engineering services for UCAR-Net • Engineering services for the GigaPoP network in Denver • Wireless point-to-point links in the Front Range • Maintain network statistics • Operate a Nagios monitoring environment for our networks

  8. Thanks and Q & A • Thank you • Questions?
