New Zealand’s Advanced Network
Project
Briefing for the APAN Members Singapore July 2006
Charles JarvieDevelopment Manager
2
The New Zealand Advanced Network project – a National
Research and Education Network (NREN) High performance Ethernet and IP backbone network
Enabling development of advanced Internet applications in research & education sectors
Supports deployment of leading edge network services to the Universities, CRIs, National Library, schools, libraries, museums and others in the R&E sector
Complements and peers with other high performance NRENs internationally and in NZ – “opening the borders”
3
Formal Project Objectives To enable leading edge e-research To facilitate universal connectivity throughout the New
Zealand and international research and education community
To encourage broad participation by the research and education sector in New Zealand through accessible technology and reasonable pricing
To connect the research and education sector to the broader innovation community for pre-commercial, research and development–based collaboration.
To facilitate participation by multiple telecommunications sector partners, so as to ensure the greatest possible flexibility for on-going evolution
4
How is this structured?Initially Crown-owned company – Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand Ltd (REANNZ) Directors – Dr Jim Watson (Chair), Prof Warwick Clegg, Carol
Moffatt, Dr Rick Pridmore, Jane Taylor Management
CEO - Donald Clark Development – Charles Jarvie Operations – Mark Cordy Communities - TBA
Establishment funding NZ$43M over ~ 4 years Separate Capability Building Program (CBP) to facilitate
professional skill development Members, associates and partners pay an annual subscription
aimed to cover operational costs, and equipment replacement
5
Who can use this network? Aimed primarily at Universities, Crown Research
Institutes and the National Library as members and eventual owners
Participation by schools, museums, and libraries to provide opportunities for collaboration across education and research.
Network Access Policy (NAP) defines who may use the network and for what purpose – it does not define applications that may utilise the network. NAP is consistent with those of overseas NRENs.
Also allows others (Associates and Partners) to use the network for R&E activity and the support of R&E activity.

Some early projects underway – just to test the water Access grid network connecting several
universities and interworking with overseas sites. Conference XP testing also underway.
University of Auckland participation in NEES Consortium – first ever testing outside USA
Open Students Television Network (OSTN) interworking with HITLab South and University of Canterbury
Keen to expand peering relationships with APAN members via Pacific Wave
10
Capability Building We can’t just continue to “steer by our wake” Essential area of work to enable effective early and
sustained network utilisation Build awareness of, and participate in the development
of, middleware and applications To invite international experts to present at technical
workshops, and to inform strategic planning processes Initially requires a degree of coordination to ensure basic
skills are developed quickly and consistently for common network applications
REANNZ has a strong incentive to achieve early adoption so is coordinating aspects of network-oriented capability building with its own member training activities
11
Capability Building Program (CBP) Advisory panel established
Working Groups separate funding stream; non-exclusive provision of logistics/secretariat by REANNZ; task-oriented projects Chairs and participation from members/associates Logistical support from REANNZ
International relationships Participate and contribute to working groups and projects Formalising relationships to enable network peering and
cement collaborative intentions for research and education, plus international network sharing
CBP will sponsor both-way travel opportunities

Message from Charles
We will be having a launch event on 31 August in Auckland so we would ask any members who might be in New Zealand around that time to contact me and I can arrange an invitation to the function at the University of Auckland or the related activities at the University of Canterbury.
