The Future of Network Automation at CENIC
Categories Technology & Innovation
Tags automation
The Future of Network Automation at CENIC: the CENIC Network Operations Center implemented a hotly anticipated enhancement to its customer service functions: targeted network announcements. With this new enhancement, authorized contacts at connected sites throughout California will receive tailored email announcements should a planned or unplanned outage specifically impact their service. More information about the new targeted network announcements can be found at cenic.org.

The San Diego Promise Zone: Connecting Potential with Promise
Categories University of California Equity & Access
The San Diego Promise Zone: Connecting Potential with Promise When parts of San Diego became one of the twenty-two federally designated Promise Zones in the U.S., the community came together in creative ways to improve the quality of life for all Zone residents. The focus of the initiative is to increase access to everything from affordable housing to jobs, safe environments, educational opportunities, healthcare, and economic activity.
CENIC Support for NOAA
Categories Cultural & Scientific RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave
We have come to expect much from those who predict and forecast weather as our ever-changing climate impacts our lives. And those whose job it is to provide us with that information rely on NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, within the US Department of Commerce. Today NOAA’s predictive strength is linked to N-Wave, it's network service provider that ensures high quality, highly scalable connections and network solutions to its federal agency via science, research, and education partners across the country.
CENIC Promotes Key Employees
Categories RENS & NRENS The CENIC Community
Despite the impact of a global pandemic and the unique climate challenges in our state, this team has risen to a range of opportunities to further our mission by pursuing an upgraded network via the Next Generation Infrastructure initiative; assumed a range of responsibilities involving our support for the GoldenStateNet initiative; and, ensured Californian’s remained connected to each other and the world despite the challenges.
Transformed Infrastructure for Sustained Network Connections at SC22
Categories RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave Technology & Innovation
Each year, networking engineers from CENIC and its partners spend weeks devising critical infrastructure to enable a range of demonstration projects, dedicating nearly eighty percent of the effort to building the network infrastructure for the demonstrations, with the demonstrations themselves receiving twenty percent of the focus. That distribution of effort was forever shifted with a few innovative decisions resulting from the SC21 conference that retained the network infrastructure developed in support of dynamic, multi-domain path provisioning developed for the event. And those decisions are already having an impact on planning for SC22.
Val Verde School District Broadband Network Provides Case Study for Closing the Digital Divide
Categories K-12 Equity & Access
A public-private partnership to provide internet connectivity for residents in the Val Verde Unified School District (USD) serves as a model case study for broadband deployment to hard-to-reach populations.
PRP: Fulfilling the Promise of Collapsing Space and Time
Categories University of California RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave
The Pacific Research Platform (PRP) was originally conceived in 2014 by member institutions of CENIC, the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California, as a way to support data-intensive research projects. The challenge was to connect multiple researchers located in multiple locations who require rapid access to dispersed datasets. It has become a significant force in developing an entirely new model of cyber-infrastructure ecology.
SC21 + CENIC
Categories RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave
As the SC21 conference launches both in St. Louis and virtually, CENIC’s network engineering team is hard at work preparing to help support a number of demonstration projects designed to show the power of global collaboration to fuel science and discovery.
CENIC Perspectives: Hybrid Approach to Last-Mile Connectivity Should Include Wireless
As we are entering a moment where decisions are being made about state and federal broadband resources, policymakers should focus on standards for what constitutes broadband rather than the specific technology chosen for last-mile infrastructure.
