What is CANARIE?
CANARIE runs Canada’s only national high-bandwidth network for research & education
• Connects one million users at 1,100 institutions • 19,000 km of fibre and 100 Gbps capability• International connections to 100 countries and over 100 peer networks
CANARIE works with provincial partners to:
• Connect every Canadian university• 62 hospitals and health networks• Canada’s “big science” facilities like TRIUMF, NEPTUNE, CLS, SNOLAB• All the Networks of Centres of Excellence • 103 colleges, 49 CGEPs, thousands of high schools
Primary investment is from Government of Canada
• $470M from 1993 to 2012

Private sector will not step in, as there is no profitable business case given the significantly different characteristics of R&E networksPrivate sector carriers are supportive of CANARIE as a public good to advance research CANARIE purchases leading edge technology from the private sector, but does not compete with industry

Projected Research Traffic Growth
7Source: CANARIE internal
Annual research traffic is forecasted to continue to grow at 50% per year.
This calls for a tenfold increase in network bandwidth during the mandate period.

Actual research traffic growth from 2007-2010 was 284%.
Three elements of CANARIE’s mandate renewal
The Network• To foster tomorrow’s scientific research
Technology Innovation• To improve access to research data and tools
DAIR – Digital Accelerator for Innovation and Research• To develop industry and technology capability and foster a
growing, competitive, knowledge-based economy

2. Harmonizing digital infrastructure
Working in collaboration to developing a compelling vision for integrated digital infrastructure that supports Canada’s scientists and researchers.
What resourcing and governance is
required?
What other players need to be involved?

2. Harmonizing researcher access to digital resources
Proposal for CANARIE’s next mandate:
Develop a generic researcher desktop tool
Result: accelerated research outcomes

What does CANARIE do next?
Expand the horizons of Canadian scientists and researchers, grow their access to Big Science projects, and increase and international collaboration
Federal investments of $3.7B annually in research would be more effective via the “network effect”
Ability to attract and retain top talent to Canada
Overall cost of network services be centralized thereby lowering costs
Growth of leading-edge networked research enhances improvements in the health, social, and economic well-being of Canadians
Canada’s private sector would gain access to a key test bed to stimulate ICT innovation in Canada

University IT organizations are like snowflakes
Varying degrees of centralization/decentralizatio
n
Different mandates (operations, customer
service, innovation, etc.)
Different funding models (national, provincial, local)
Variable emphasis (admin, teaching, research)
The only technology they really share is the the
network
CANARIE can leverage the network to create shared services
