Why Chicago? Shared Service Delivery in the Windy City
Why Chicago? BOREAS-Net Wisc. Waves & BOREAS-Net Mi. LR BOREAS-Net PSU-Net I-WIRE & ICCN I-Light TFN
Why Chicago? Chicago… – is approximately the geographic center of all CIC (Big 10 + UIC + UC) institutions – has STARLIGHT (international network exchange) – has both Abilene and NLR nodes – has carrier hotels & other buildings where many ISPs and carriers are accessible & have space for lease – has many long-haul dark fiber providers – has several local dark fiber providers – has pretty good beer (next to Wisconsin!)
CIC Fiber Collaboration Shared Service Delivery in the Windy City
CIC Fiber Collaboration Chicago fiber Very expensive local loops in downtown Chicago – Local loop often a significant fraction (1/4 – 1/3) of long-haul cost – e. g. Merit was paying $10 k/mo for CHI local loops vs. $35 k for a 20 yr IRU Multiple places of interest – NLR & New. Net at 111 N. Canal – Other research-flavored stuff at 710 N. Lakeshore (aka Star. Light) – Commodity Internet carriers at Equinix…
CIC Fiber Collaboration
CIC Fiber Collaboration Chicago Fiber
CIC Fiber Collaboration Final project summary 12 of 13 CIC institutions participated in this project + Notre Dame + Wayne State + Merit 104 strands of fiber purchased (52 from Level 3 and 52 from LGN) $30, 668 average price per pair of fiber for 20 yr indefeasible right-of-use (IRU) & O&M Estimated joint savings of ~$13. 2 million vs. individual institutional purchases through volume pricing, avoidance of legal fee duplication and sharing the fiber construction cost for multiple laterals into the same building
