An Opportunity to think about Research and Extramurally Funded Opportunities in a New Way
• Creating Private, Ad Hoc Networks
• Data Collection Devices, Servers, Data, and Databases can be linked across campus, the UC system, or even throughout the United States via ultra-high speed networks.
“UCR’s ability to create ad hoc, private networks (on-campus and within the UC system) allows researchers to engage in unique inter- and intra-campus collaborations, to share equipment and systems, and to address problems and propose solutions utilizing innovative methodologies. Ultimately, UCR’s network infrastructure provides campus researchers with an important tool to help secure research
(and other extramurally funded) opportunities.”

UCR’s Infomine Project, A Campus Example
• This extramurally funded project will build “virtual library collections” for campus faculty through focused web “crawling” utilizing very high amounts of bandwidth.
How does UCR’s Network Facilitate this Effort?
• Air Blown Fiber.
• Electronics Supporting Direct Connection to Internet 2.
• Network Traffic Shaping to Hold Down Costs.
• This project will consume double the existing amount of campus network bandwidth WITHOUT IMPACTING THE “PRODUCTION NETWORK” AND WITHOUT DRAMATICALLY INCREASED INTERNET COSTS.

• Why Are Private Research Networks Important?
• Dedicated Bandwidth• Not Subject to “Normal”

The Archipelago Project investigates efficient ways to form a secure extended ad-hoc network of laptops, handhelds, and other wireless capable devices, and bridge it to the Internet.
