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 tested both 400-Gbps and 600-Gbps waves on a live production network by upgrading their network infrastructure to flex spectrum ROADMs and the NCS 1004 with Cisco. These wavelengths will now enable the support of future network operational benefits to deliver 100-Gbps services over the CENIC optical backbone.
For transforming ocean research with fiber optic cables, cameras, and sensors that relay subsea images and data to scientists around the world in real time, University of Washington Professor John Delaney is being recognized with CENIC’s 2019 Innovations in Networking Award for Research Applications.
The Getty has joined CENIC’s California Research and Education Network (CalREN), a high-capacity computer network serving the vast majority of academic institutions across California. The move will provide the world's largest arts institution with 10 times the capacity of its previous connection.
For committing to support CENIC and understanding the importance of high-speed broadband for the research and education communities in California, CenturyLink is being recognized with CENIC’s 2019 Innovations in Networking Award for Corporate Partner.
For setting a new record for data transfer rates that will enable researchers to tackle massive datasets faster and satisfy unprecedented scientific needs, a team of computer scientists and network engineers led by the University of Southern California in collaboration with California Institute of Technology is being recognized with CENIC’s 2019 Innovations in Networking Award for Experimental Applications.
For leveraging the power of high-speed broadband to transform education, the Irvine Unified School District in Southern California is being recognized with the CENIC 2019 Innovations in Networking Award for Educational Applications.
For collaborating on cybersecurity, network design, and technology adoption to enrich and extend the CENIC network, the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is being recognized with the CENIC 2019 Innovations in Networking Award for R&E Network Partner.
In recognition of their immediate and effective response to ensure emergency connectivity to communities and organizations affected by catastrophic wildfires, AT&T, GeoLinks, and CENIC’s Network Operations Center are being recognized with CENIC’s 2019 Christine Haska Distinguished Service Award.
For pioneering broadband solutions and bringing high-speed Internet access to rural underserved communities, the Inland Empire Regional Broadband Consortium (IERBC) is being recognized with the CENIC 2019 Innovations in Networking Award for Broadband Applications.
