Review and update topic list Summit Western Region Networking (WRN) Stimulus Internet2 Membership Model

Summit Goal: establish a lightweight, nimble collaborative overlay above the Front Range GigaPoP (FRGP) and the Utah Education Network (UEN) for managing regional connectivity (including peering) and potentially other related regional IT projects Initial members: FRGP and UEN Lightweight MoU with process open to other aggregating members over time

Summit status – June 2009 (complete and in progress for FY2010) Cooperative of Front Range Gigapop (FRGP) and Utah Education Network (UEN) to support advanced networking in Colorado, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming Connecting FRGP, Idaho Regional Optical Network (IRON), Idaho State University, and UEN Bottom line savings FY09 budget: $1.13M FY10 budget: $863k (‘Scenario B’) Overall reduction of 24% Maintain regional geographic balance and diversity – NLR node in Denver and Internet2 node in Salt Lake City

Summit status – June 2009 (complete and in progress for FY10) Internet2 GENI network research support Flux Research Group, School of Computing, University of Utah Internet2 K-20 Network Sponsored Education Group Participant (SEGP) Program Colorado Idaho Utah FRGP R&E Network Member effective July 1 Two seats at Internet2 connector ‘table’ Commodity peering services Internet2 CPS – Salt Lake City TransitRail - Denver

Western Region Networking (WRN) A parallel discussion going on regarding possibility of a larger Western affinity group An opportunity to improve network service for “the West”: Arizona California Colorado Idaho New Mexico Utah Washington Wyoming

WRN Intra-region peering NLR and Internet2 services Back each other up (provide diverse layer 2 and 3 if on-net failures) Efficient and cost-effective commodity and Transit Rail (TR) and Commercial Peering Service (CPS) connections

WRN - Objectives Continue to be involved in NLR and I2 and influence their direction Cost savings across WRN through resource sharing Shared governance Robustness, reliability, redundancy Improved regional connections including primary and back-up I2, NLR, etc. Improved national peering services from TransitRail and I2 CPS Enables shared commodity amongst WRN Improved purchasing options, e.g. single entity purchasing, back-up port fees Improved multi-state network in support of Research & Education and economic development

WRN - Objectives Agree to WRN concept of resource sharing Endorsed conceptual WRN engineering design that enables WRN members to share resources Endorsed funding model: recurring and non-recurring Year 1 Year 2 Execute Agreement
