Thank you

• NSF – For encouraging the synergy between CC-NIE and

GENI campus deployments– For sponsoring this workshop

• Larry Landweber– For leading the GENI campus outreach effort

• Speakers and participants– For sharing plans and expertise


Goals for This Workshop

• Reinforce a shared understanding of how GENI deployment plans mesh with planned CC-NIE efforts– Exchange project-specific plan details and general GENI design

information – this workshop introduces the information you need to GENI-enable your campus

– Each collaboration will have unique aspects – design is similar up to the GENI rack, then campus-specific architecture and research plans come into play

• Clarify timelines and synchronization points– Identify a cadre of early adopter campuses with plans that support

GENI enabling this summer

• Identify areas of shared challenge so we can address them together– Opportunities for discussion throughout the workshop


It’s Time to Capitalize on a Shared Vision

• GENI is fielding new architecture that is– Research-driven– Nationally distributed and federated– Virtualized– Sliceable– Deeply programmable

• Several key initiatives are highly synergistic– GENI– US Ignite– Domain science-driven cyberinfrastructure– Condo of condos


Momentum is BuildingResearch is Driving the Agenda

Research needs of domain science, big data, and computer science all point to a new cloud paradigm

•Use resources “as-is” or reach inside to build a better cloud or customize behavior.•The same infrastructure can often support both domain science and research on the supporting technology.

– Mike Zink, Ilia Baldine will have some examples from GENI experience later today

An open, deeply programmable cloudcreates new opportunities that bridge disciplines.


• GENI racks

• WiMAX (-> LTE)

Momentum is BuildingIndustry is Responding – Technology Uptake

• OpenFlow / SDN


GENI is Taking Off in Many Ways

• GENI technology spreading to more campuses• Increasing experimenter and classroom uptake• Commercial adoption of key GENI enablers

– GENI racks, OpenFlow/SDN

• GENI research visibility is growing in academic literature– See bibliography on GENI wiki (~80 items)

• International collaborations based on federation and interoperability

Over 600 unique users have made GENI slices on ProtoGENI aggregates

The GENI project is actively collaborating with peer efforts outside the US, based on equality and arising from direct, “researcher to researcher” collaborations.

• Connecting some of the best researchers worldwide• Open, interoperable interfaces enable an open ecosystem of tools

and federated infrastructure


GENI is deploying to morecampuses and regional networks

GENI is on an aggressive growth path to reach critical mass in 2013.•Today: 16 campuses and 8 regionals•In one year: 42 campuses and 9 regionals•Target 100 – 200 campuses for “at scale” GENI•Participants in today’s workshop play an important role

GENI Partnership with Internet2

GENI and Internet2 have a long-standing partnership•Going forward, GENI research will be supported as an anchor tenant of Internet2’s Advanced Layer 2 Service (AL2S) capability


Growing the deployed GENIGENI Racks

• First GENI racks in use byearly experimenters– Completing testing at development sites and

GPO– Expected operational this winter

• Rapid deployment schedule– Expect 14 racks up and available in Q1– Reaching 46 deployed racks on campus

and in use by researchers in this calendar year

• Complemented by spontaneous, commercially-driven rack developments– Interoperability is key to empowering

experimenters


How do you GENI-enable your campus?

• Identify campus contacts (research faculty and IT staff) who will actively collaborate on innovation, installation, and operations for GENI-enabling

• Host a GENI rack• Deploy OpenFlow switches within campus• (At some campuses) Host a GENI WiMAX base station• Maintain OpenFlow- and VLAN-based connectivity to

GENI via a research network • Make compute and network resources available to

researchers on and off campus via aggregate manager API

A nationwide federation – resources are locally owned,and shared with researchers on and off campus.
