Campus Leadership Engagement in Building a Coherent Campus Cyberinfrastructure Opportunities and Challenges Michael Mundrane University of California, Berkeley 11 October 2010
Basic Infrastructure Exists • Open networks • Gigabit intra-building • 10G core • 10G edge • CENIC partnership • I2 relationship • Central data center • Services for purchase • But ..... uneven LAN infrastructure
Environment Reality • 40/60 central/distributed • Varied needs • Varied wants • Culture of uniqueness • B2B vs. B2C • Resource constraints mean tradeoffs • Perceived zero sum game • Value driven instead of cost driven
Definition of Value There is a simple working definition that can be applied in a business sense. Benefit Value = Cost
Better Definition of Value A more accurate definition reflects real world tradeoffs and compromise. Realized Benefit = Value Total Actual Cost
Evolving Support • Data Network Recharge (DNR) • Capital Investment (Core/Riser) • Common good funding (OE) • Investment towards higher base level • Scale beyond department • Regent resolution
Strategic Partner • Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL) • Proximity • Joint appointments • Research connectivity • Pursuing 10G direct connectivity • HPC (5/200/15,400) • Broad participation (73)
Faculty Support • Engagement • Cyberdays • Data services • Consultation pre-proposal • Valued by PI • Fast startup post award • Increased utilization • Diverse faculty
