12. NGIX-East • Meet Me point for Federal Research Networks • Layer 2 service only • Individual networks must make own L3 peering arrangements • Single ATM switch • Soon to be upgraded to 10G • Core likely to remain a single switch

13. ATDnet • DC area Federal Research Network • Investigate optical networking technologies (L1, L2) • Fiber network • MAX provides • Engineering services • Gateway services • Colocation space

14. ATDnet Topology GSFC LTS UM GWU ECK DARPA WNY DIA DISA NRL

15. Future of MAX • K-12 integration • Large Scale Networking Program • Follow on to Federal NGI • TeraGrid / Grid Computing

16. National Archives • Establishing a fiber link to UM ( < 1 month ) • 1G at first, probably expanding to 10G in 6-12 months • OC-192 POS backbone network • Electronic Records Archive • Create persistent, distributed archive of natively electronic records • Research / Development Phase • UM, SDSC • Production Phase – must deliver many tens of TB of data

17. FDA CFSAN • FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition • Ensure the safety of the food supply through constant analysis • Sponsors a Joint Institute at UM • Some CFSAN facilities are located on campus (NMR) • FDA will join Abilene and MAX, but CFSAN has UM specific needs. • Establishing a Gigabit connection

18. NASA GSFC • Important in both Space and Earth Science • Launches satellites with scientific instruments • Satellite command and control • Collection of data • Transport of data • Data goes into Distributed Active Archive System (DAAC)

19. Global Land Cover Facility • Partnership • UM Institute for Advanced Computer Studies • UM Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory • UM Geography Department • NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System • National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI)

20. Earth Observing System EOS: The centerpiece of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. • Composed of • science component • data system component supporting a coordinated series of polar-orbiting and low inclination satellites • Aim: long-term global observations of the land surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans. • Enables improved understanding of the Earth as an integrated system

21. EOS Data and Information System EOSDIS: supports the operation and data collection and transfer • operates the satellites and instruments • captures satellite data • generates useful Earth science data products • makes the data products available to users throughout the world. • Two major parts of EOSDIS • Mission System • commands and controls EOS spacecraft and instruments, monitors their health and safety, and performs mission planning and scheduling, initial data capture, and initial data processing. • Science System • generates higher level data products suitable for analysis by NASA principal investigators and the general scientific community.

22. Network Uses • Science Production (EMSnet) • Level 0 data to the DAACs • Inter-DAAC Production Flows • Instrument Support Terminals • Near real-time instrument monitoring (~T1) • Connect to EOC at GSFC • AM-1 (Terra) (12/99): 5 instruments -- 17 ISTs (3 EBnet, 14 ESSnet) • QA Flows to Instrument Team SCFs • Terra: 24 QA sites -- 300 GB / day (1999) • DAAC Outflow to the Internet • To support ALL users: EOS investigators, K-12, etc. • 6 DAACs: ~ 1 TB / day • Basic User Service • Assure Adequate Internet connectivity to ESDIS funded investigators
