INTERNET2 TO EXTEND LEADING-EDGE NETWORKING TO SC08

SCinet, the very high-performance network built each year to support  
the SC Conference, pushes the advanced networking envelope to enable  
some of the most demanding and cutting-edge applications in the world.  
Preparation for SC08, the annual international conference for high  
performance computing, networking, storage and analysis to be held in  
Austin, Texas on 15-21 November 2008, is currently underway.

Internet2 is collaborating with the SCinet committee, in partnership  
with the Lonestar Education and Research Network (LEARN) and its  
members in Texas, to support the networking requirements of  
participants and exhibitors at SC08. Internet2 will provide  
connectivity to its IP and dynamic circuit networks, as well as a  
limited number of dedicated WaveCo circuits. Current plans include:

        * 20 Gbps of service to the advanced Internet2 IP Network
        * 10 Gbps of service to the Internet2 Dynamic Circuit Network (DCN)
	* A limited number of additional Internet2 WaveCo circuits to support  
specific applications

Exhibitors that expect to make significant use of either the Internet2  
IP or DCN services, or would like more information about dedicated  
WaveCo circuits, are encouraged to contact the Internet2 network  
services team as soon as possible at:
