5. © Internet 2012 Today’s talk Two elements of the global CI – Connectivity – Collaboration tools Which illustrate two principles – Openness – Federation

6. © Internet 2012 Connectivity Global connectivity is increasingly being provided by – autonomous lightpaths and – autonomous lightpath exchanges – in purpose-built topologies – that may be ephemeral – to suit the needs of data-intensive science or short-lived collaborations

7. © Internet 2012 Connectivity Lightpath exchanges should be open – ⇒ all connectors treated equally – engineering flexibility – usage Provisioning by OSCARS, DRAGON, AutoBAHN, DRAC,… Instances of Software-Defined Networking NDDI and OS3E is another (and more general)way…

12. © Internet 2012 Collaboration tools As virtual organizations proliferate, the need for effective collaboration tools is growing Traditionally, some VOs have developed their own tools – Sloan Sky Survey – MonaLisa in the HEP community When disparate (actual or virtual) organizations work together, “one size fits all” does not work! Interoperability glue and federated trust structures are the answer

14. © Internet 2012 A platform for innovation Universities have a record of Internet innovation (VTC, tele-immersion, Facebook,…) Some collaboration tools are bandwidth hungry (video walls, CAVEs,…) Innovation must not be shackled by lack of bandwidth The Internet2 initiative “Platform for Innovation” aims to push 100 Gb/s into campuses

15. © Internet 2012 Collaboration tools Innovation tends to happen when independent initiatives both co-operate and compete with each other Innovation cannot be centrally controlled Federated governance and open systems are the best breeding ground for innovation Openness, neutrality and diversity should be the guiding principles Source: e-IRG
