A Systems Approach
Interoperable across geographic and organizational boundaries
Internet2 and CI
• Backbone network and related tools and services provider
• Federated trust infrastructure and related tools provider
• Performance Monitoring and Diagnosis
• Collaboration community
Backbone Network and Related Services Provider: Internet2 Network
• IP Network• IPv4, IPv6, multicast
• Dynamic Circuit Network• On-demand dedicated paths
• Static Circuit Services• Long-term
• Commercial Peering Service
Network Related Tools and Services
• Network Performance and Diagnostic Tools and Toolkits
• FiberCo, WaveCo, MANLAN, Professional Services, Collocation Services
• Data Available for Researchers
• Workshops and training
Performance Monitoring and Diagnosis
• Tools to Monitor Networks• Bandwidth Testing• Latency Testing• Performance History
• Web Based Performance Diagnosis• End to End Problem Identification
(software, host, network)
• Experts to help on hard problems
Interoperable Identity and Access Management InfrastructureDevelop components to enable secure collaboration in a
national and international cyberinfrastructure
1. Campus identity management (IdM) infrastructuresEncourage deployments of common IdM principles:
IdM Model, Roadmaps, Practices, Case Studies
2. Identity data exchange standards and mechanismsLeverage core campus services and data to fuel federated
identity: Directory Practices, Schema, Attributes
3. Federated software and trust communityDevelop software and related anchor services for an R&E trust
community: Shibboleth and the InCommon Federation
Interoperable Identity and Access Management Infrastructure (cont)4. Privilege and group management tools
Provide tools for managing authorization-related information: Grouper Groups Management Toolkit, Signet Privilege Management System
5. Consolidated interface and infrastructure to control accessIntegrate 1-4 to enable project leads to manage their team’s resources: COmanage
6. Relationships with key partnersPartner with organizations to ensure interoperability: Corporate and Standards Organizations, Federal Government, International Peers
Support and Outreach
• Science and Engineering Initiative
• Arts and Humanities Initiative
• Health Sciences Initiative
• Working Groups and Special Interests Groups
Training
• Joint Techs – campus and regional network engineers• Internet2 Commons Site Coordinator Training -- H.323
Video Conferencing• Internet2/EDUCAUSE CAMPS – Federated Identity
Management• Network Performance Workshops• Network Dynamic Services Workshops• IPv6 Workshops• Multicast Workshops• Performing Arts and Master Class Production• Digital Video Transport Workshops
The Internet2 Community
• Meetings that bring together research disciplines to compare notes and learn about the use of network technologies
• Working Groups to jointly develop new technologies
• Workshops to help with the adoption of new technologies.
Stimulus Opportunities
• NSF ARI-R2 (Academic Infrastructure)• Letters of Intent: DUE 1 July!!!• Full proposals: August 24• Invest in repair/renovation/replacement of existing
research facilities• Augment campus and inter-organizational
cyberinfrastructure (other than general purpose computing or data storage systems) to create environments that enhance research and integrate research with education
• Enhance historically underrepresented institutions to improve their research environments
