McGill10 Why Scientists Participate in Internet2 Need for continually increasing bandwidth to support the increasingly finer resolution of data resources To address policy issues such as the security and privacy requirements that must be met for the use of information that originates with or about a patient To remove roadblocks as they confront the increasing need to collaborate across political (including state and federal government), academic, defense and security, and commercial boundaries Research:

McGill11 Biotech Data's BIG BANG It's like Moore's Law on steroids: The total volume of biological data worldwide, having doubled every 18 months in recent years, is now doubling every half a year to three months. And this isn't a momentary spike, but a long-term trend that may require new ways to measure, analyze and mine biological databases. Chappell Brown EE Times EE Times (04/25/2005)

McGill17 The Vision (tenants) Health is a discipline comprised of: Research Education Clinical Care Patients deserve the best care we can afford Advanced communications technologies have proven their ability to allow change processes and cultures

McGill18 Vision for the Health Community A ubiquitous national health network Integrating regional or sub-networks Strategically managed by the Health Community Interconnected with Research and Education

McGill19 Options for achieving the vision Dedicated Resource (Lambda) Secure, Reliable, Expensive Dedicated portion of a Resource (sub- Lambda) Not as secure, Reliable, Not as expensive MPLS Tunnel Less Secure, Reliable, Least Expensive
