Lawrence, Kansas:<\/strong> On Tuesday, June 28th, KanREN deployed two innovative networks designed to support the data sharing needs of modern research and education in the state of Kansas.<\/p>\n HyperCore<\/strong> is a dual-redundant, geographically diverse backbone with multiple 100 Gigabit connections shared by University of Kansas, Kansas State University, Wichita State University, and the University of Kansas ResilientRing<\/strong> is a dual-redundant, geographically diverse network of multiple 10 Gigabit connections at Fort Hays State University, Emporia State University, Pittsburg State University and Washburn University.<\/p>\n HyperCore and ResilientRing are interconnected at exit points in Wichita and Kansas City, providing 100 Gbps upstream speeds to Internet2, an advanced, international network of leaders in research, academia, industry and government. The networks are deployed utilizing a combination of fiber owned and operated by KanREN, KSU, KU, and KUMC and lit fiber from Kansas Fiber Network.<\/p>\n \u201cHyperCore and ResilientRing represent two years of planning and collaboration with forward thinking universities throughout the state of Kansas,\u201d said Cort Buffington, KanREN\u2019s Executive Director. \u201cNot only were we able to deploy a next generation network that will attract high-end research and innovative businesses to Kansas, but it was launched within budget and four days ahead of schedule. Early is an unfamiliar phrase in IT. We are proud we get to say it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cHyperCore and ResilientRing are invaluable to us as we continue to build connections between KU and the private sector,\u201d said GR Underwood, President of the Bioscience and Technology Business Center at KU. \u201cModern innovations in technology and biopharmaceutical research rely heavily on the transfer of big data. KanREN has engineered a pipeline for data that will give us a competitive edge for the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cHyperCore is an essential component of Wichita State University’s vision for our Innovation Campus of fostering collaborations with our research and industry partners,\u201d said Keith Neufeld, Director of Networking and IT Security for WSU. \u201cWe identified the network need to KanREN and they handled the design and implementation seamlessly, delivering 100G connectivity to WSU on time and on budget with no surprises along the way.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cFort Hays State University is relying on the 10Gbps ResilientRing for the recently received grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Having access to the 10Gbps Ring made our grant application possible.\u00a0Without a boost in speed and reliability, there would have been no interest in supporting old technology by the NSF,\u201d said David Schmidt, Assistant Professor, Informatics at FHSU. \u201cFHSU computational research activities rely heavily on KanREN expertise when using high-speed Internet connections.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Tuesday, June 28th, KanREN deployed two innovative networks designed to support the data sharing needs of modern research and education in the state of Kansas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[54,36,59,37],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
