Dear SC08 Exhibitor,

 

Please share the following information with your adminstration and technical staff regarding your WAN circuit requirements into the Austin Convention Center for SC08.

SCinet Releases Call for Circuits, Deadline for Wide Area Circuits is May 30, 2008

The Lonestar Education and Research Network (LEARN) and its members in Texas are partnering with SCinet to provide WAN services support for the SC08 conference in Austin, Texas November 15th through 21st.   In order to plan the wide-area and metro resources required to support conference participants we are asking that exhibitors and network entities identify their WAN circuit requirements into the Austin Convention Center.

The SC08 WAN team will work with National LambdaRail (NLR), Internet2 and LEARN to implement the required circuits for SC08 from the NLR and Internet2 connection points in Texas to the Austin Convention Center.

The following WAN services are planned to be available at the Austin Convention Center: NLR PacketNet, NLR FrameNet, Internet2's IP Network, Internet2's Dynamic Circuit Network, ESnet and commodity Internet. If your organization will require any other wide-area circuits (e.g. NLR WaveNet, Internet2 WaveCo, another provider, etc), please respond to this message with the details of your particular requirements. Ideally, please provide us with the following information:

  * Circuit type and bandwidth

e.g. OC-48c/STM-16c, OC-192c/STM-64c, OC-768c/STM-256c, GigE, 10GigE-LAN, FibreChannel FC-0 1062M, HDTV, etc.

  * Carrier or provider
 e.g. Level3, Qwest, NLR, Internet2, etc.

  * Circuit start and end points (location to be extended from one of the nodes identified below to the Austin Convention Center)
    e.g. Level3 POP in Seattle, Level3 POP in Austin.
 

* Circuit termination points on the SC08 showfloor (where will the circuit plug into)
    e.g. SCinet L3 network, directly to exhibitor booth via dark fiber.

Even if you are unable to provide all the details above please contact the WAN team as soon as possible.  It is required that the WAN team hear about your organization's wide-area circuit requirements and utilization needs by May 30, 2008.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the SC08 WAN team, all wide-area circuits will be terminated at the Austin Convention Center.

The WAN team is planning to support the extension of wide-area circuits from the following locations into the Austin Convention Center:
  * Level(3)
    4207 Smith School Road
    Austin, Texas

  * WilTel
    500 B CHICON STREET
