In recognition of the growing, innovative collaboration between Mexico’s research and education network, the Corporación Universitaria para el Desarrollo de Internet (CUDI), and CENIC, CUDI and the individual who has led CUDI since its inception, Carlos Casasús, are being awarded the CENIC 2020 Innovations in Networking Award for R&E Network Partner.
Seven international teams competed in the inaugural Data Mover Challenge during the SupercomputingAsia 2019 conference recently. The StarLight/iCAIR team won the Most Innovative Award for their flexible framework to support large data transfers. CENIC is proud to be a supporter of the challenge.
CENIC is recognizing GeoLinks for their understanding of the importance of high-speed broadband for California research and education communities, and their strategy for reaching those with limited or no access to broadband due remote locations and challenging terrain using fixed wireless technology.
CENIC seeks to honor early members of the board of directors, CENIC employees, and designers of the original CalREN network for their crucial contributions to CENIC in its formative years.
As a result of the BIIG project, California's most remote public K-12 schools are overcoming barriers to Internet access and being connected to the world-class California Research and Education Network (CalREN), the high-performance broadband network operated by CENIC.
The University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) is being recognized for its work to extend high-speed broadband to UC researchers in rural communities across the state by connecting UC ANR sites to the California Research and Education Network (CalREN).
This award recognizes the significant effort required to bring the CMS data center from Salt Lake City to its current state-of-the-art facility in Silicon Valley, thereby enabling CSU to use a hybrid cloud platform. Project leader George Mansoor will accept the award on behalf of the numerous CSU staff who contributed to this project.
The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) is pleased to announce the election of five board members to its executive committee.
The Wide-Area Visualization Environment (WAVE) at UC Merced is one of many projects enabled by the Pacific Research Platform. This massive display, consisting of twenty 4k resolution screens, provides student and faculty researchers at UC Merced to work with the cutting-edge of virtual reality hardware. WAVE is an exciting example of a tool that can reduce the gap between data collection and interpretation and the dissemination of that data to researchers and the public.
The University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Division (UC ANR) and the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) have connected key UC ANR facilities to CENIC’s ultra-fast 100Gbps research and education network, extending ultra-broadband capacity to UC researchers in rural sites across California.
