Cyberinfrastructure and Internet2
Eric Boyd
Deputy Technology Officer
Internet2
What is Cyberinfrastructure (CI)?
• A strategic orientation supported by NSF
• Calls for large-scale public investment to
encourage the evolution of widely distributed
computing via the telecommunications
network
• Goal is to deploy the combined capacity of
multiple sites to support the advance of
current research, initially in science and
engineering

Challenge and Opportunity
• Challenge:
• The R&E community thinks of CI primarily
in terms of building distributed computing
clusters
• Opportunity:
• The network is a key component of CI
• Internet2 is leading the development of
solutions for the network component of CI
LHC epitomizes the CI Challenge
Current Situation
• Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN
will go operational in 2008
• Over 68 U.S. Universities and National
Laboratories are poised to receive data
• More than 1500 scientists are waiting
for this data
• Are campus, regional, and national
networks ready for the task?

Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (1)
• Requirements
• Informed by our membership
• Agenda set by our governance mechanisms
• Offer, and in some cases develop, services and
technology that are key components of a coherent CI
software suite.
• CI-enhanced Networks: IP Network, Dynamic Circuit
Network
• Services: InCommon, USHER
• New Technologies: DCN software, perfSONAR, Shibboleth
• Systems Integration: Assemble open source communication
tools into a common veneer.
• Emphasize a systems approach towards CI.
Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (2)
• Take a “toolkit” approach
• Make sure it still looks like a wall jack to end user
• Push for best practices for campuses
• What to do
• How to do it
• Community learns as a whole / avoid reinventing the wheel
• Contribute to the support structure for use of CI
• Open source CI software
• Centers of Excellence
• Training
Early Thoughts: Internet2’s CI Strategy (3)
• Play the role of community CI coordinator,
convening community conversations.
• Partner with other community coordinators (e.g.
Teragrid, EDUCAUSE).
• Play a convening function in order to facilitate the
development, use, and dissemination of CI
• Take a lead in international outreach efforts
• Facilitate conversations among various federal
agencies (e.g. DOE, NSF, NIH), each of which is
developing its own CI
