1. The Need For Speed How the CirrusWorks Governor dynamic bandwidth management solution improves circuit efficiency Presented by: Peter Gorog, Director of Business Development Tweet Using #eduNeed4Speed

2. Convergence and Innovation – More Traffic Ahead 1999 – LAN 2002 – WiFi 2007 – iPhone 2010 – Cloud/Video 2015 – Congestion

3. Need for Speed – A National Mandate High-speed Internet connectivity in our public schools becomes more urgent with each passing school year. June 2013, President Barack Obama pledges: Connect 99% of students to next-generation broadband and high speed wireless within five years (by 2018).

4. Since 1989, the Commonwealth has invested approximately $1 billion in infrastructure and hardware to create and maintain high-speed Internet connectivity in all schools. Since 2001, funding has focused on improving online instruction and testing capabilities. Despite this investment, the demand for ever-increasing bandwidth continues as the education landscape changes. Need for Speed – Virginia background

5. Virginia Schools: Digital Learning Readiness Digital learning ready Basic connectivity Not ready Emerging reliance Schools’ long-term connectivity goals should focus on developing capacity for digital learning; 28% of schools today are ready for technology-rich digital learning

6. The Internet of Everything – Rush Hour or Gridlock Need for Speed -K12 Schools -Libraries -Higher Ed

7. Objective Reduce network congestion, provide fast, reliable internet, maximizing existing infrastructure Method Dynamic Bandwidth Management Optimizes traffic during peak congestion periods Algorithm adapts to unpredictable traffic patterns in real time No need to pre-configure static rule sets or policies Arbitrates Internet congestion as it occurs Decisions based upon available bandwidth Instantaneous data demands of the users CirrusWorks Governor Practical Bandwidth Management

8. Tracks asynchronous statistics on user behavior Not inspecting data payload Monitor the periodicity of transmission/reception, gross packets and packet volumes over a historical period at L2 (the Data Link Layer) Priorities among the users are dynamically established Algorithm briefly demotes users with a current history of using large amounts of bandwidth Algorithm promotes traffic that is bursty, transient or transactional in nature Algorithm is instantaneously ensuring best-fit use of the bandwidth available  Without complex rules or policies or on-going management.

10. Governor Network Installation

11. 1.CirrusWorks seeking K12 Schools to install, test and evaluate the Governor 2.CirrusWorks will provide Governor to School at no cost for the Term of the Pilot 3.Given Pilot has positive outcome, School will provide a testimonial reference 4.If School wants to keep Governor at the end of the Pilot CirrusWorks will waive the Product cost of $6,000 School will execute the CirrusWorks’ product and service agreement and pay an annual license agreement of $1,250 Governor Pilot Program
