  1. OneTenn: 21st Century Cyberinfrastructure for Tennessee Predrag Radulovic, predrag@utk.edu Ana Preston, apreston@utk.edu University of Tennessee

  2. Existing Networks in TN

  3. How did we start? • Initial meeting in December 2003: SEGP & Internet2 • Mostly networking people from research institutions • Became part of EPSCoR planning effort • Identified connectivity and computational resources as research infrastructure need - EPSCoR resolution to higher education leadership on creation of Cyber Infrastructure Commission (CIC) - CIC approved in June 2004 - Two sub-committees formed: • Optical Network Team (OneTenn) • Research Computing Team • Kickoff meeting August 18, 2004 • Goal to develop comprehensive Technology Roadmap for TN Higher Education by early CY05

  7. ORNL’sFutureNet • DOE and NSF funded projects: UltraNet, TeraGrid and CHEETAH. • Building FutureNet infrastructure to support these projects • Building largest supercomputing facility in the world. • SNS online in 2006. • Partnership with the state of TN: 3 joint institutes (JIBS, JICS and JINS).

  8. OneTenn connections • ORNL’s FutureNet: via Knoxville and Nashville • GLORIAD: Chicago to Knoxville • NLR-SLR • Abilene: via SOX in Atlanta (east and central TN) and Kansas City (west TN) • Other neighbouring state efforts: AL, MS, AR, MO, KY, VA, NC, GA…-> Southern Regional Optical Network(s) – SRONs

  9. Challenges • Some areas of the state have very limited fiber reach: IRUs on some segments are 50% or more of the 5 yr budget for the segment • Business plan: R-1 institutions mostly research, others only commodity and Internet2 access • 3 distinct regions, 3 gateways (L2/L3), 3 support centers • OneTenn would reach 20% of TN counties – economic development impact • Currently on 4-6 step of Corbato’s 10-Step plan on how to build a RON
