IU and Purdue formed IP-grid in our proposal to the NSF

IU-Purdue join NCSA, ArgonneNL, SDSC, CalTech, and PSC – the elite high-performance computational/research community.

Quid-pro-quo – we contribute computation, storage, and data resources and NSF funds our connectivity to the nearest ‘hub’…Chicago!

What Does IP-Grid Mean for IU?What Does IP-Grid Mean for IU?

We will acquire a pair of fibers and run advanced dense-wave-division-multiplexing (DWDM) connectivity across it

IU and Purdue will each have a 10-Gbit Wave connecting us to the TeraGrid backplane

We will have co-location facilities in a key carrier facility in downtown Chicago

What Does IP-Grid Mean for IU?What Does IP-Grid Mean for IU?

We will have the ability to add more waves to get other kinds of connectivity in ChicagoMaybe even cheaper commodity internet

We will have a network ‘beach-head’ in one of the largest network ‘hubs’ in the nation/worldWe may be able to overcome some peering

issues with national high-speed internet services to homes

We can connect to others as the national cyberinfrastructure grows
