regional networks

international networks and trust federations

government agencies

research and cultural institutions

Facilitate collaborative effort of

U.S. higher education institutions

to design and provide selected

mission-critical services required

to advance all aspects of their

academic and service missions.

These are services that no single

institution could possibly provide on its own

and that no one other than the academic

community itself will provide in the

ways needed.

EVOLVING IN A DYNAMIC LANDSCAPE

• Future infrastructure investment

– Requirements gathering and planning going on now – target 2-5 years out (or beyond)

– Experiment, validate, grow incrementally – not a forklift

– Tighter collaborations needed for next generation service delivery – regional, national, international

– Trends: Hardware commoditizing, software orchestration becoming key to flexible service delivery

– Specialized needs for:

• Academic Enterprise

• Data-intensive science

• Network and distributed systems research

• Optimizing use of the infrastructure to support collaborative research

– Technology is not sufficient, need for human facilitation driving value proposition

– We’re helping convene a community-driven cyberinfrastructure support effort

• Leverage expertise in the community, promote knowledge sharing, develop best practices, etc.

– Coordinate with national-scale efforts: OSG, XSEDE, ACI REF, GENI, NSF Cloud, PRP, etc.

PLANNING FOR THE NEXT INFRASTRUCTURE

• Requirements gathering

– Community investment in national infrastructure – 2 to 5 years and beyond

– Call for Papers (September 2016), Workshop (January 2017)

– Working Groups (Academic Enterprise, Research)

• First requirements draft due at Global Summit (April 2017)

• Next steps

– Identify and engage with stakeholders who we don’t usually hear from explicitly

• Help in refining requirements

– High-level design

– Define and manage experiments and pilots

Exemplars

Activities (March 2014-current)

» Focussed on infrastructure to support TNE (connectivity based)

» Carried out survey of all UK HEIs (both international and IT staff)

» Developed two services for TNE needs through five pilot projects:

› Consultancy

› Brokerage

» Developed a sustainable business model for continuing TNE support - BAU in 2017

» Identified new areas for development

› Countries, services (e.g. licensing), customers

Transnational education (TNE) support programme


Case study

» Good connectivity paramount to managing cloud-based services as part of global IT infrastructure

» Jisc-brokered deal saving university 40%

» Managed service reduced risk for Heriot-Watt

» Jisc continue to develop support, increasing bandwidth and resilience

Heriot-Watt Malaysia


“We want staff and students to be using these cloud-based resources on equal terms. So what we needed was a quality of connection to the Malaysia campus, equivalent to that which a UK university gets within the UK”

Mike Roch, Director of Information Services, Heriot-Watt University

Case study

» Connectivity issues at Shanghai recruitment office

» Jisc brokered deal to route traffic via local NREN

» Improvements in admissions process and access to UK-hosted student information system

University of Hull


“Jisc, with the Janet network, offers institutions a very compelling proposition in terms of value in the UK. For China it was no different”

John Hemingway, Director of ICT, University of Hull

Case study

» Resolved issues in two China sites with campus-campus connectivity

» Issues accessing VLE from student accommodation and other off campus locations

» Jisc established peering between Janet network and ISPs in China

» VLE log-ins increase from 2,300 to 125,000

Queen Mary University of London


“If we provide teaching materials on the VLE in London, they’ve got access to the same resources in Nanchang or Beijing”

Paul Gallagher, Interim Assistant Director of Applications, QMUL

Location, location, location…..


TNE support

» Established in March 2016, made up of representatives from UK HEIs (including IT, academic leads, coordination roles and International departments )

» Current membership: 34 representatives from 23 HEIs

» Initially tasked with developing a toolkit to support delivery of TNE due to be published summer 2017

» The toolkit will:

› Share advice and best practice

› Highlight common challenges

› Provide country-specific information, including an interactive map of global connectivity

TNE Special Interest Group (TNE SIG)


We want to hear from you….

» What awareness do you have of your institution’s international concerns/challenges?

» What involvement do you have in the planning and delivery of your institutions overseas activities, e.g. teaching, research, partnerships?

» What should Jisc’s role be in supporting you internationally?
