Internet2 Today Overview of the Internet2 Initiative Focus on Advanced Networking Applications What’s in it for Libraries?
Internet2 Mission • Develop and deploy advanced networking applications and technologies, accelerating the creation of tomorrow’s Internet.
Internet2 Partnerships • Internet2 universities are recreating the partnerships that fostered the Internet in its infancy • Industry • Government • International
Internet2 Brief History • Started in 1996 as a project with 34 universities • Internet2 Backbone Network - Abilene launched February 1999 • (Partnership with Qwest, Cisco, Nortel, and Indiana University as our Network Operations Center)
Leadership • University presidents/chancellors are the voting representatives • Strong board – university presidents • Advisory councils with board seats • Applications Strategy Council • Network Planning and Policy Council • Network Research Liaison Council • Industry Strategy Council
Additional Participation • Over 60 Internet2 Corporate Members • Over 40 Affiliate Members • Over 30 International Partners • 25 SEGPs
Affiliate Members • Government labs • State and regional networks • University system offices (University of California) • Other (New World Symphony, Survivors of the SHOAH)
