The Department of Energy’s Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is being honored by the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) as a recipient of the 2015 Innovations in Networking Award for High-Performance Research Applications for their 100-Gigabit Software-Defined Networking (100G SDN) Testbed.
The ESnet 100G SDN Testbed provides network researchers with a realistic environment for testing 100G application/middleware experiments. It also supports several 10G paths for SDN experiments, and will be significantly enhanced this summer with new OpenFlow v1.3 hardware.
Learn how researchers at non-R1 institutions or those who need only a handful of GPUs can benefit from CENIC AIR, which can catapult their work to the next level and enable them to collaborate and compete with peers from larger, better-resourced institutions.
At the 2026 CENIC biennial conference, The Right Connection, attendees heard from top policy analysts stressing that building and sustaining relationships with representatives and agencies in D.C. remains as important as ever in the current federal funding climate.
