Future of MAX

K-12 integration Large Scale Networking Program

Follow on to Federal NGI

TeraGrid / Grid Computing

National Archives

Establishing a fiber link to UM ( < 1 month ) 1G at first, probably expanding to 10G in 6-12 months

OC-192 POS backbone network Electronic Records Archive

Create persistent, distributed archive of natively electronic records

Research / Development Phase UM, SDSC

Production Phase – must deliver many tens of TB of data

FDA CFSAN

FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Ensure the safety of the food supply through constant analysis

Sponsors a Joint Institute at UM Some CFSAN facilities are located on campus (NMR) FDA will join Abilene and MAX, but CFSAN has UM

specific needs. Establishing a Gigabit connection

NASA GSFC

Important in both Space and Earth Science Launches satellites with scientific instruments

Satellite command and control Collection of data Transport of data

Data goes into Distributed Active Archive System (DAAC)

Partnership UM Institute for Advanced Computer Studies UM Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory UM Geography Department NASA Earth Observing System Data and Information System National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI)

Earth Observing System

EOS: The centerpiece of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. • Composed of

• science component• data system component

supporting a coordinated series of polar-orbiting and low inclination satellites

• Aim: long-term global observations of the land surface, biosphere, solid Earth, atmosphere, and oceans.

• Enables improved understanding of the Earth as an integrated system

EOS Data and Information System

EOSDIS: supports the operation and data collection and transfer• operates the satellites and instruments• captures satellite data• generates useful Earth science data products• makes the data products available to users throughout the world. • Two major parts of EOSDIS

• Mission System• commands and controls EOS spacecraft and instruments, monitors their health

and safety, and performs mission planning and scheduling, initial data capture, and initial data processing.

• Science System• generates higher level data products suitable for analysis by NASA principal

investigators and the general scientific community.

Network Uses

• Science Production (EMSnet)– Level 0 data to the DAACs– Inter-DAAC Production Flows

• Instrument Support Terminals– Near real-time instrument monitoring (~T1) – Connect to EOC at GSFC – AM-1 (Terra) (12/99): 5 instruments -- 17 ISTs (3 EBnet, 14 ESSnet)

• QA Flows to Instrument Team SCFs– Terra: 24 QA sites -- 300 GB / day (1999)

• DAAC Outflow to the Internet• To support ALL users: EOS investigators, K-12, etc.• 6 DAACs: ~ 1 TB / day

• Basic User Service• Assure Adequate Internet connectivity to ESDIS funded investigators
