The Best Defense is a Good OffenseCreating Networks That Work (the first time)
Lauren Rotman, ESnetJennifer Schopf, Indiana UniversityApril 24, 2017Internet2 Global Summit 2017
Presentation Overview
• Problem of Big Data (#obvious)• Sample of Current Strategies• Future Looking Concepts

Big Data Coming from Everywhere
5/4/173
VISIONCollaborations at every scale, in every domain, will have the
information and tools they need to achieve maximum benefit from global networks
5/4/174
END-TO-END PERFORMANCEImplement proven sets of services that create an optimal
environment for science *BEFORE* problems occur.
ESnet Strategies
• Host regular requirements reviews with domain scientists to:– Create more precise forecast of networking needs using quantitative and
qualitative feedback, not just for the backbone– Create mechanisms for ongoing dialogue with stakeholders– Re-imagine Cross Connects Workshops
• Develop and implement new “technical engagement” services that provide the glue between researcher and campus WAN connection – New Science DMZ services, Superfacility services– Pilot efforts into replicable production service
• Build an army of engagement practitioners around the world.
5/4/175
Petascale Data Transfer Node (DTN) Project
• Collaboration between ESnet, ALCF, NERSC, OLCF, and NCSA
• Aims to establish a reliable performance baseline of 15Gbps of data transfer performance (equivalent to 1PB/week) between the DTN clusters at the computing facilities
• Science drivers in Astrophysics and Climate, more to come.• Intend to publish as a innovative best practice
5/4/176
The APS Science DMZ Pilot
• perfSONAR improvements were profound.
7 – ESnet Science Engagement ([email protected]) - 5/4/17
• Effort to create a friction free network path to a specific APS beamline• Participants from ANL Networking, APS Networking, GM/CA beamline
and its users
The APS Science DMZ Pilot
5/4/178
Build an army of self-sufficient and diverse engagement practitioners around the world• Desired Outcomes:
– Scale by teaching expertise & requirements gathering to global engagement partners– Sharing value and ROI of engagement practices across entire network ecosystem
• Implementations:– Tutorials at well-attended community gatherings– Operating Innovative Networks (OIN) program– Women in Networking at SC (WINS)– Network Resource Startup Center (NSRC) videos– Fasterdata knowledgebase– Taskforce for Research Engagement Development (TF-RED)

How did DOE do this right?
• Focused on socio-political strategies as well as technical strategies
• Full access to who their end users are• Dedicated team for more than 5 years• Organization made this a priority• But no one group can do this alone
INTERNATIONALNETWORKS
At Indiana University
Center of Excellence for Engagement and Networks
• Coordinating body to bring together dispirit efforts to make the right connections
• Provide support and assistance• Help other groups do what DOE has done
so successfully• Make connections

This is a pitch!
• Inclusive not exclusive• Partnerships and collaboration are a must• This is a problem of scale:
• Thousands of institutions, hundreds of thousand of researchers
• This is an issue of making the right connections
