*Lights
• *Lights are bandwidth concentrators and exchanges (StarLight, NetherLight, UKLight, NorthernLight, Pacific Wave, NEOLight…)
• *Lights also deliver Grid cyberinfrastructure services such as computing, storage and visualization support
• *Lights disrupt old pricing structures from the traditional telcos, which kept the prices high
• *Lights will deal with big data streams and map them economically to the least expensive services they need
StarLight, the Facility
• A *flexible* facility for scientists *by* scientists• The world’s largest GE and 10 GE exchange for R&E
Production Networks• A MEMS-switched Optical Research Network Exchange• A specialized colocation space for new implementations
and integrations of infrastructure: – 40 racks for networking and computing, data management and
visualization support equipment
• Home to fiber and circuits from SBC, Qwest, AT&T, Global Crossing, Level3, T-Systems, Looking Glass, RCN, and I-WIRE, custom integrators, like MCI for DREN
• Advanced engineering and “resource coordinators”

What has Changed Since 2001?
• Waves became available at drastically reduced prices– NYC to AMS OC-192 $0.50/minute current pricing
• 1GE and 10GE switching/routing became possible and desirable
• StarLight constructed as to serve international, national and regional electronic and optical peering needs
• StarLight/Euro-Link partners formed GLIF• C-scientists and E-scientists are creating new tools
together so that future applications will be empowered to use self-collected information and make grid-compatible requests for resources
Thank You!
• StarLight and Euro-Link planning, research, collaborations, and outreach efforts are made possible, in major part, by funding from: – National Science Foundation (NSF) awards ANI-9980480, ANI-
9730202, EIA-9802090, EIA-9871058, ANI-0225642, and EIA-0115809– State of Illinois I-WIRE Program, and major UIC cost sharing– Northwestern University for providing space, engineering and
management• NSF/CISE/ANIR and DoE/Argonne National Laboratory for StarLight
and I-WIRE network engineering and design• Bill St. Arnaud of CANARIE, Kees Neggers of SURFnet, Olivier Martin
of CERN and Harvey Newman of CalTech for networking leadership• Larry Smarr of Cal-(IT)2 for I-WIRE and OptIPuter leadership.
