Can't forget that answer to the Q during the cc re; Internet2. An order of magnitude is worth reading about!
So for my next homework I will be reading about Internet2 and will post some links for those who want to learn what its all about....
It appears to have a big slant toward digital video.....

The Internet2 Digital Video initiative is a national, higher education video network service to provide capabilities to support scalable and easy-to-use applications to deliver live or stored streaming and interactive high-quality digital video.
Internet2-DV will also establish a related project to gather, store and establish a means to license and distribute content for courses, informal lectures, documentaries, video conferences among Internet2 member institutions. This initiative will dramatically enhance and expand capabilities for producing and distributing highly specialized content.
Internet2-DV will develop archive and search capabilities for video libraries.
Led by the International Center for Advanced Internet Research (iCAIR), Internet2-DV is a collaborative effort among several high-performance network video initiatives at Internet2 members:
•International Center for Advanced Internet Research (iCAIR) •Research TV Consortium •ViDe: Southeastern Universities Research Association's Video Development Initiative

Notice the heavy LU participation in the I2 storage group.....
Purpose Statement
The Internet2 working group on storage is seeking to support Internet2 application development efforts by deploying advanced storage based services. The working group will focus on engineering performance improvements through the use of mechanisms such as data caching and replication.
The primary activities of the working group will be:
1.Encouraging and facilitating the use of Web caching.
2.Discussing issues in the the definition and use of URNs.
3.Deploying a replicated testbed for network storage services.
Working Group Chair

Can anyone find any dots connecting these folks to FC? Thanks in advance.
If caching will loom larger in the future can anyone find any info on FC caching SANs? |
