The North Carolina Networking Initiative:
What It Is, Where We're Going
--------------------------------------
Bio:
John C. Collins is the Director for Strategic Technology Planning with
Duke University Office of Information Technology and a senior
technical staff member of North Carolina Network Initiative (NCNI).
He is a board member of the North Carolina Research and Education
Network (NC-REN) advisory committee. Mr. Collins received his BSEE
from La Salle University. Before joining Duke and NCNI, John was the
Associate Director for Network Operations at Rutgers University for
the RUNet 2000 program. Mr. Collins was also one of the initial staff
members involved in the development and assembly of Maui High
Performance Computing Center (MHPCC), where he was responsible for all
networking activities on contract to the University of New Mexico
assigned to MHPCC. John has over 22 years of networking experience
covering a broad spectrum of DOD, University and Industry
organizations in both LAN and WAN environments. Currently, his main
interest is in advanced research activities associated with Internet 2
and NGI.
Abstract:
The North Carolina Networking Initiative (NCNI), is a next-generation
information technology, networking and Internet program with a hybrid
focus. One focus is on the research, applications development and
infrastructure of the next-generation technologies, and the other
focus is on early deployment of these technologies and capabilities to
serve the production needs of education, business and government. One
of the first activities was to establish the infrastructure for the
North Carolina GigaPop. The intent from the outset has been to address
both academic and business interests with the result that NCNI
maintains a healthy tension between advanced research opportunities
and early deployment of production services and applications. One of
the goals is to exploit emerging technologies and applications to the
competitive advantage of the universities and businesses participating
in NCNI. Please come with your questions.
