1 Competitive Advantage Through Advanced Internet Technology VT Information Technology Spring 2014

2 Example National/International Research and Education Networks National LambdaRail

3 Quite a hike

4 VT Network Projects for Research and Outreach Since the Late 80s Enhance competitiveness through early access to advanced technology Ensure strategic connectivity for VT main campus and other sites. Promote availability of broadband regionally. Provide leadership for access and aggregation to national research networks for Virginia institutions. VERnet BEV Network Virginia ecorridors MATP Internet2 NLR BTOP MARIA MREX

5 100, VT Internet Capacity vs. Moore's Law 10, , Internet Capacity Moore's Law Unit Cost Demand increases will continue Internet video traffic growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 30% In 2017, the equivalent of all movies ever made will cross the internet every 3 minutes annual run rate 1.4 Zettabytes. (What the heck is that?) - Cisco Visual Networking Index

13 Can you please get to the bottom line? Example MREX Annual Cost Savings for MARIA Members Internet2 Port Costs $ 1,200,000 Access Circuits $ 714,000 Commodity Internet $ 5,645,806 Total Savings for these Elements $ 7,559,806 Simplified example including only a few basic elements. There are many additional performance and efficiency benefits. Cost savings are important but we simply could not do what we need to do for VT research without this collaboration and without these resources. Commodity Internet versus best available state contract rates in Blacksburg and Charlottesville.

14 VT leadership generates revenue and provides benefits to the university Provide services to other institutions Contractor to MARIA Serve as Internet2 Connector for Virginia Operate MREX facilities with port and service charges Supports outreach mission of VT Puts VT in control and first in line Aggregation / volume discounts Regional and national Peering / content delivery networks Grant funding
