Shared Services Update• Demonstrate the value proposition of the
Chancellor’s shared services approach in the acquisition of services for higher education.
– Reduce the current and future operating cost for all education through aggregate purchase of VMware products
– Expand program benefits through the inclusion of all levels of education
– Serve as the blueprint for expanding this concept into other services and other eligible entities
29
![Page 17: OARnet Member Surveys](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d1c1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Shared Services Partners• Higher education is now ordering services.
– Kudos for the Chancellor’s program as it compliments their efforts to reduce costs.
• K-12 community is also participating and has expressed their appreciation for the cost savings associated with the shared services program.
• Meetings are on-going to determine how state and local government can be included to further expand the benefits of the program.

Shared Services Status• Based on the success of the VM program other
potential areas for shared services are actively being explored, areas such as: Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco and HP.
• Collaboration efforts are being developed with the Department of Administrative Services to identify and prioritize potential products and services as we continue expansion of these efforts.

Connect Appalachia and FCC Healthcare Update
![Page 20: OARnet Member Surveys](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d1c1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Connect Appalachia• Connect Appalachia – Governor Ted Strickland
and Congressman Zack Space Initiative – Utilize the Southern Ohio Health Care Network
(SOHCN) under an FCC Grant in conjunction with Stimulus funds from NTIA, USDA, and EDA to expand broadband throughout Appalachia.
– Collaborate with SOHCN, Connect Ohio, OneCommunity, OARnet, OIT, Board of Regents, and Service Providers to develop a regional solutions to some of the most unserved and underserved areas of the State.
33
![Page 21: OARnet Member Surveys](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d1c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Connect Appalachia• Four Projects Under Consideration
– Southern Ohio Health Care Network Fiber Optic Backbone: designed use the FCC funding to encourage vendors to extend fiber in the Appalachian region to serve health care and then to expand the offer service to community at large.
– Wireless Coverage of the Rural Expanse: Designed to encourage vendors to find cost effective method serve a region where the density does not warrant traditional broadband services.
34
![Page 22: OARnet Member Surveys](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d1c1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Connect Appalachia• Four Projects Under Consideration (continued)
– World-class Connectivity to Industrial Parks: economic development is critical to the success of the region, and even with industrial park sites without readily available and affordable broadband businesses are unwilling to locate there.
– Telemedicine Program: Upgrade the quality of health care, while reducing the cost of service, broadband services will enable the residents of this region to have access to expand health service with the expense of traditional hospital structure.

ARRANTIA/USDA Request for Information
• Role of the States– Identification of priority areas – Based on Connect
Ohio mapping data it is apparent that certain areas of the state are currently unserved by terrestrial broadband providers. These areas should be priority for federal funding.
– Allocation of grants process – The State is in a better position than NTIA or USDA to ensure alignment of projects, understand the needs of Ohioans, and encourage collaboration.

Network Planning Updates• OARnet extends Regional Optical Footprint
through partnerships– Expands connectivity in Michigan (MERIT) and (PSC)
Finally.
• Network extension provides connectivity to OMNI POP in Chicago with access to several nationwide networks as well redundancy.
45
![Page 33: OARnet Member Surveys](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d1c1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Network Planning Updates• Due to changes in Commodity Architecture driven
by budgetary considerations, there will be greater reliance on the backbone.
• Number of commodity access ports are being reduced to acquire better pricing on per-megabit basis, i.e., larger pipes at lower per-Mbps cost
• Additional benefit of reducing BGP management overhead
• Qwest line is active, have had some issues
46
![Page 34: OARnet Member Surveys](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568148b8550346895db5d1c1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Network Planning Updates• Need to maintain bandwidth head room, i.e.,
provision more bandwidth
• May coincide with need to deploy next generation of optical equipment
– Full mesh lambda capability to replace ring architecture
– The stated needs are not necessarily mutually exclusive, i.e., such an architecture will make the greatest strides cost effectively

Network Planning Updates• Push forward on greater resiliency by building a
second optical aggregation PoP in Columbus metro area
• Purpose is to tie north rings and south rings into a redundant configuration
• Currently planning on leveraging the Dublink build and Lewis Center PoP for such a purpose
