Smart and Connected Communities What would a Metro Internet look like if it were designed to support: - Internet of Things (IoT)? - Billions of wireless devices? - Industrial Internet? - Low-cost endpoints? (close digital divide)
Smart and Connected Communities (SGC) Gigabit Community centric Interoperable Interconnected Attract community investment
Independent non-profit inspired by WH OSTP & NSF, that fosters creation of next-generation Internet Applications USIgnite Engaging Community Innovators, Connecting GENI Testbeds Using GENI as the thread, US Ignite will stitch together high-speed broadband resources to create a testbed across universities and cities throughout the United States at a national scale. GENI is a fast, programmable "virtual laboratory" that enables university researchers to experiment on so-called future internets. National Science Foundation Press Release June 2012

Availability of GENI rack or equivalent as edgecomputing resource SGC Resources Ways US Ignite promotes app development Funds for development of local efforts to promote gigabit application development Funds for a local Technical Leader to promote hackathons, app ideas, help with deployment and more Funds for the sharing of applications between SGC communities Training & Documentation Distributable (Docker) Frameworks for increasing contact and collaborative opportunities between SGCs Greater Ignite community, e.g. Mozilla Ignite
Community Technology Leaders Identified by each community. Help design, install & manage metro Digital Town Square and Smart City Brain Engage local developers, thought leader facilitate deliver of amazing gigabit apps Partners with local community leader Bridge to other local and national SGC tech leaders Identify and promote training and innovation spaces. National Technology Leader Main technical contact for SGC project & with national partners Docker, Juniper, GENI, Paradrop... Help design common standards & promotes interoperability Working Groups as needed Back up local technical and community leaders Closely collaborate with National Community leader Identify logging and metric strategies with partners Viavi Identifies and promotes national training opportunities places for collaboration

Gigabit Applications
Gigabit Applications National Focus Areas Advanced Manufacturing Education & Workforce Energy Transportation Healthcare Public Safety Requires Local Gigabit Network Very High Bandwidth (Symmetric) Ultra-Low Latency Software Defined Capabilities Deployment GENI or Edge Computing Resource Sharable Between Communities Ecompases Services as well as apps
True Gigabit Networks & Applications Shift our thinking to true gigabit applications & real time Enable big data, education or public safety video, IoT swarms, Cyberphysical interactions & more Symmetric bandwidth enable distributed networks and applications Software Defined Networks Network Slicing & Virtualization as needed, dynamic and managed resources and security Gigabit Speed Ultra Low Latency Slicing & Security
Characteristic Trends Very High Bandwidth 4K Video Multi-stream HD 360 Video Multi-spectrum Imagery Streaming VR Big-Data Coordinating IoT Arrays Transportation devices Self healing utilities Remote Instrumentation Ultra Low Latency Real World Examples Infrastructure Monitoring BW Data to Edge L Pinpoint event Language Learning BW Video/Audio to Edge L Feedback at event STEM Instrumentation BW 4k video L - Responsiveness
Realities of SGC App Development CHALLENGES Still a fairly siloed approach Traditionally research projects difficult to scale or not production-ready Generic statements of what s available too broad Can make connections but requires active following up Magical thinking about Ope OPPORTUNITIES TL & CC provide collaborative opportunities Austin s depth in the IT Community, opportunity for tradecraft in apps Engineering & Distribution Testing SGC effort builds in individuals to promote collaboration Positioned to shape national thinking on networks and edge-computing

Hosting and Deploying Applications
GENI Ecosystem & Internet2 GENI is a testbed of 55+ Compute Clusters nation wide Available as fee edge-compute resource for US Ignite SGC applications. Linux VMs, Windows options as well Backed by Internet2 connections between GENI racks Eventually backed by inter-sgc connections as well Critical mass to ignite the local economy around gigabit services and application development 2016 2019 2021 2024 2027...
Using Docker for Application Deployments in GENI Very lightweight containers usingos virtualization Sandboxed with very tight control overwhat it exposes Containers run on a variety of OS, now including Windows and Mac Suite of products and APIs to provision, run, connect, manage and distribute containerized software Evolutionofcloud services toward container services helps insulate applications from underlying systems Works well with distributedsystems Variety of networking and storage engines allow for excellent.
