CENIC Non-profit, formed in 1997 18-member board composed of our
members Serves 13 research universities, 30 4-
year colleges and universities, 114 2-year colleges and all K-12 (8,000+ grammar and high schools) in CA, as well as universities in Arizona and Nevada
Beginning to share fiber infrastructure with other segments- including private sector
CENIC • 16700 Valley View Ave. La Mirada, CA 90638(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Policy Framework CENIC received some seed funding
(from the NSF) upon start up in 1997 but receives very little government funding, none for on going operations
Members pay fixed yearly fees Not usage-based pricing, which would
discourage use and therefore innovation Some optional services priced
separately, eg., video, dedicated capacity
Partner with private sector where feasible

CENIC-Multiple Networks
CENIC • 16700 Valley View Ave. La Mirada, CA 90638(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Requirements/Characteristics
Ability to support high bandwidth 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s
Ability to support short-term uses Ability to reconfigure network to
specific projects and demonstrations Ability to support dedicated circuits
for researchers/projects Ability to support very high
availability needs for teaching

CENIC Technical Solution to Requirements/Characteristic
s Owned-fiber backbone supplemented
with fiber to each research university Diverse fiber/circuits to support
network resiliency in case of hardware failure or fiber cuts
Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) to support multiple circuits over single pairs of fiber (permits sharing of infrastructure costs with non research and education)
CENIC • 16700 Valley View Ave. La Mirada, CA 90638(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
CENIC Technical Solution (continued)
Layer 2 (Ethernet) for those research projects not requiring dedicated Layer 1 bandwidth, but unable to withstand overhead of routed (Layer 3) network
Multiple Layer 3 networks Quality of service (QoS) where
needed

Use Examples CENIC Innovations in Networking
Award Winners for 2011: CineGrid@Disney Demonstration Tele-Immersion for Physicians Virtual Computing Lab Initiative eTranscript California
Bleeding-edge research, high-performance research, and educational applications
CENIC • 16700 Valley View Ave. La Mirada, CA 90638(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Use Examples: CineGrid@Disney
An international organization devoted to using advanced networks for high-quality digital media
October 13, 2010 demonstration the result of 9-month effort involving 50+ participants from 7 CineGrid member orgs, 5 networks including CalREN 4K telepresence virtual conference room; remote streaming 4k/2k/3D video; live digital color grading; collaborative audio mixing; multi-panel display walls for collaborative multimedia
CENIC • 16700 Valley View Ave. La Mirada, CA 90638(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Use Examples: Tele-Immersion
Enables medical professionals to collaborate seamlessly
Physicians can interact with one another and with their data in real-time
Will unite the Tele-Immersion Lab at UC Berkeley with the Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization (IDAV) at UC Davis
Components currently under development: Tele-immersion
infrastructure, real-time video
capturing systems algorithms needed to
capture, visualize, and transmit data
CENIC • 16700 Valley View Ave. La Mirada, CA 90638(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Use Examples: Virtual Computing Lab
Pilot program at the Northridge and East Bay campuses of the California State University
Allows students to access the software applications demanded by their coursework from campus, home, or anywhere they have a browser and Internet connectivity, 24/7/365 Significant cost savings and performance increases: Expensive software need
only be bought once Lab is available to users in
many locations, very scalable
Older equipment can be used to access the Lab
CENIC • 16700 Valley View Ave. La Mirada, CA 90638(714) 220-3400 • [email protected] • www.cenic.org
Use Examples: eTranscript California
Secure, streamlined electronic transcript exchange for 53 post-secondary institutions in California 2-year Community Colleges 4-year Cal State University Many private/independent colleges
Translating into national standards, tracking, combining transcripts, interfacing with high schools, and studies on student success. Transcript-related costs for eTranscript California member colleges will drop from an average of $7 to less than 50 cents per transcript
