The future advanced nationwide network for research and education Internet2 Network Dynamic… Scalable… Powered by Community The future advanced nationwide network for research and education

More than a backbone – it’s the system! The campus is the foundation Community is key

An Asset for the Community An Asset for the Community Universities Universities Researchers Researchers Regional Networks Regional Networks K-12 K-12 Industry Industry Community control of network infrastructure Leverage global telecommunications leader carrier-class reliability, economy of scale, services Capitalize on latest technology Create asset that benefits entire community universities, researchers, regional networks, K-12, industry, government, international community International International

Hybrid optical and IP network Dynamic and static wavelength services Internet2 Network Hybrid optical and IP network Dynamic and static wavelength services Fiber, equipment dedicated to Internet2; Level 3 maintains network and service level Platform supports production services and experimental projects Level 3 Communications optical fiber platform – point to point services where dedicated circuits are needed Internet Protocol (IP) services for normal Internet-based applications, built on Level 3 optical system Extremely cost-effective -- Community Control over the networking infrastructure, without taking on cost risks of equipment sparing and obsolescence, system maintenance.  Carrier provides an SLA for the waves Ability to set up networks at will for specific purposes

Scalable Scalable Capacity and reliability along entire network to serve large scale projects Flexibility to provide customized support dynamic provisioning across network in seconds capacity and duration of circuits Scalable – number and speed of wavelengths migration to higher Gbps wavelengths Community retains complete control of Layer 1 optical system including provisioning and switching of wavelengths technology upgrades can be accomplished when the community requires them. Cost-effective solutions to networking needs Bandwidth allocation Value-added services: FiberCo dark fiber, WaveCo “off-net” waves, FiberCo professional services from network inception and design to management and maintenance Commodity transit and commercial peering through regional network partners
