1. SLAC Site Report

2. Upgrade of Network Upgrading the core and border to 10Gbps
Start with farms and border
ESnet has christened SLAC connection to 10 Gbits/s Bay Area Man (BAM) production
BAM long way to fully commissioned
Other sites to connect
SLAC data still flowing by OC12
At Sunnyvale (30 miles from SLAC):
UltraLight (Harvey)
UltraScienceNet (no funding to connect SLAC)

3. SLAC Future Increasing focus on photon sources
SPEAR3
Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS) and Ultra Fast Science Center
BaBar stops taking data 2008
Increased funding from BES
LINAC increasingly funded by BES (all in 2009)
Also NASA (GLAST and Large Synoptic Space Telescope (LSST))
Kavli Institute for particle astrophysics
Also hoping for partnerships with NIH and NSF

4. Requires New business practices
More project oriented since multiple projects so need more accountability
No longer dominated by HEP
Harder to “hide” projects like PingER with no sources of funding for operations.
