  2. StarLight Chicago Infrastructure

  3. *Lights • *Lights are bandwidth concentrators and exchanges (StarLight, NetherLight, UKLight, NorthernLight, Pacific Wave, NEOLight…) • *Lights also deliver Grid cyberinfrastructure services such as computing, storage and visualization support • *Lights disrupt old pricing structures from the traditional telcos, which kept the prices high • *Lights will deal with big data streams and map them economically to the least expensive services they need

  4. StarLight, the Facility • A *flexible* facility for scientists *by* scientists • The world’s largest GE and 10 GE exchange for R&E Production Networks • A MEMS-switched Optical Research Network Exchange • A specialized colocation space for new implementations and integrations of infrastructure: • 40 racks for networking and computing, data management and visualization support equipment • Home to fiber and circuits from SBC, Qwest, AT&T, Global Crossing, Level3, T-Systems, Looking Glass, RCN, and I-WIRE, custom integrators, like MCI for DREN • Advanced engineering and “resource coordinators”

  5. US National NLR ESnet (DOE) “UltraNet”(DOE soon) DREN (DOD) NREN (NASA) NISN (NASA) DTF/ETF Abilene US Metro/Regional OMNInet MREN (Midwest) I-WIRE/DWDM I-Light (coming) AMPATH (South America) ASnet (Taiwan) BELnet (Belgium) CA*net4 (Canada) CERN/DataTAG CERNET (China) GÉANT/Euro-Link (Europe) GEMnet (Japan) HARNET (Hong Kong) StarLight Facility-ConnectedUS and International Networks • HEAnet (Ireland) • KOREN/KREONet2 (Korea) • NaukaNET/GLORIAD (Russia) • RENATER2 (France) • SURFnet (Netherlands) • TWAREN (Taiwan) • TANet2 (Taiwan) • TransPAC/NiCT (Asia) • UKLight (UK) Plus Abilene and CA*net4 International Transit Networks Plus European transport via SURFnet/NetherLight

  6. What has Changed Since 2001? • Waves became available at drastically reduced prices • NYC to AMS OC-192 $0.50/minute current pricing • 1GE and 10GE switching/routing became possible and desirable • StarLight constructed as to serve international, national and regional electronic and optical peering needs • StarLight/Euro-Link partners formed GLIF • C-scientists and E-scientists are creating new tools together so that future applications will be empowered to use self-collected information and make grid-compatible requests for resources

  7. Thank You! • StarLight and Euro-Link planning, research, collaborations, and outreach efforts are made possible, in major part, by funding from: • National Science Foundation (NSF) awards ANI-9980480, ANI-9730202, EIA-9802090, EIA-9871058, ANI-0225642, and EIA-0115809 • State of Illinois I-WIRE Program, and major UIC cost sharing • Northwestern University for providing space, engineering and management • NSF/CISE/ANIR and DoE/Argonne National Laboratory for StarLight and I-WIRE network engineering and design • Bill St. Arnaud of CANARIE, Kees Neggers of SURFnet, Olivier Martin of CERN and Harvey Newman of CalTech for networking leadership • Larry Smarr of Cal-(IT)2 for I-WIRE and OptIPuter leadership.
