About NJEDge.Net
• State Research and Education Network – Provide a statewide technology infrastructure for
55 colleges, universities and K-12 schools
– Created to support new forms of technology enabled collaboration and advanced applications and to,
– Leverage the collective buying power of the membership to achieve economies of scale
Network Resources
• Statewide regional optical backbone• Broadband Internet Service Provider (1400+Mb)• Comprehensive Voice Services• Sophisticated video conferencing & distance
learning capabilities• Streaming video resources and video-on-demand• Provide regional access to Internet2 • Interoperability with the K-12 Video Portal (Access
New Jersey)• Shared access to Satellite Uplink/Downlink
Three-Tier National Three-Tier National NetworkingNetworking Model Model
• Campus Regional National• Regional Networks are the middle tier and bridge of
the Three-Tier Model• There is a critical role to be performed between a
national network and a campus network• NJEDge is a New Jersey’s Regional Network
supporting research and education

Important migration to Important migration to Regional Optical Networks (RONs)Regional Optical Networks (RONs)
• Now providing sufficient bandwidth to support new classes of end-to-end service– Ultra- broadband last mile connectivity– Delivering unlimited bandwidth in a cost
effective manner, and– Providing new value added services such as
peering and dynamic optical waves
Performance Strides in the Regional Tier Performance Strides in the Regional Tier are making new applications possibleare making new applications possible
• Large-scale network attached storage/DR• Academic video-on-demand content repositories• Statewide centrally hosted course management
– Sakai, Moodle, Blackboard, WebCT• Optical waves dedicated to individual researchers• Shared GRIDS and research repositories• Federated identity management
Internet2 and Next Generation Internet2 and Next Generation Networks in Higher EducationNetworks in Higher Education
• Providing “orders of magnitude” or a 100-fold increase in bandwidth capacity over current networks
• Providing advanced communications and collaborative opportunities between researchers around the world
• Enabling ambitious large-scale next generation projects and applications that support new research models
• Beginning to re-shape federal funding policies that favor diverse collaborative research paradigms
