32. Global Reach and leadership

33. Global Connectivity • Requests from members, government agencies and NGOs • Seamless international connectivity for all overseas sites and locations • Interconnections with all major NRENs around the globe • Evaluating solutions for wide range of networks

34. MANLAN Equipment Changes • MANLAN provides two distinct services: • Layer2 Ethernet Exchange • Optical Exchange • Often the lines are blurred between the two for sub-circuits (e.g. subcircuit is reframed from SONET to Ethernet and involves both sets of equipment) • MANLAN Optical equipment upgrade • Prior implementation used Nortel equipment that was no longer supported by Nortel-Ciena • Port density was becoming a problem • Replaced with full-sized CienaCoreDirector in early February • CoreDirector sourced from Chicago where it was providing dynamic circuit services in the previous implementaton of the ION network • Hot swapped during a short maintenance window. Went smoothly • Upgrade provides MANLAN community with enhanced services, greater port capacity, with a minimal investment of infrastructure dollars to implement

35. Equipment Upgrade • Ethernet Exchange being upgraded in October 2011 • RFP for equipment released in early July • Brocade MLX platform selected • Low cost • 100G availability today • Openflow on roadmap • Status • Equipment being received and is being staged • Installation planned for late October
