CANARIE Inc.- Overview

• Federal leadership Concept born in 1990 out of
  Industry Canada discussions
• Founding Incorporated in 1993 by industry and
  academia
• Funding From Industry Canada For networks and
  research applications from Canadian Heritage,
  HRDC, Health Canada
• Mission To facilitate development and use of
  Canadas advanced communications infrastructure
• Primary stakeholders Government Departments,
  universities, provincial research networks,
  broader research community, colleges, carriers,
  IT sector, SMEs, broader education sector,
  broader health sector, provinces

Grid initiatives in Canada

• Grid X1 Globus v2 linking systems at various
  sites for processing CERN Tier 2 data and
  astronomy
• Westgrid Consortium of High Performance
  computers in western Canada with various
  applications
• CAnet 4 provides lightpaths for backplane
  integration of various HPC machines
• SHARCnet/HPCVL High Performance Computing
  Consortia in Ontario with various applications
• 10 GbE lightpath interconnecting facilities
• CAnet 4 provide 1 Gbe lightpath linking SHARCnet
  and Westgrid
• ACEnet new consortia of HPC machines under
  development in Eastern Canada
• Numerous _at_home like initiatives for small pox,
  detecting asteroids, etc

Grids are more than connecting computers

• Most exciting areas of grids are in connecting
  instrument to networks, linking applications
  together across networks and managing networks
• Advent of Service Oriented Architectures will
  extend grid paradigm to many new application
  areas that do not involve high performance
  computers
• Korea, Canada and other countries are the
  forefront of these new grid application areas
  e.g. Optiputer, LOOKING, GLORIAD

What is UCLP?

• User Controlled LightPaths a configuration and
  provisioning tool built around grid technology
  using web services
• Third party can concatenate cross connects
  together from various networks to produce a wide
  are network that is under their control
• Articulated Private Network (APN)
• Uses Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and so
  network can be integrated with other web service
  applications
• APN can also do routing or switching with logical
  routers or switches represented as web services

UCLP DemonstrationsOverall Network Architecture

• A local end-user will create the LightPaths
  between each participant to Korea via UCLP and
  get the HDTV stream sequentially.
