Pepperdine University Joins CalREN Network for Research and Education
Posted on: Wednesday, 12 September 2007, 09:02 CDT
The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California has announced the connection of Pepperdine University to the fiber-optic based California Research & Education Network.
California Research & Education Network (CalREN) is owned and operated by the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) and is dedicated only to research and education.
The students, faculty, and staff at Pepperdine University can now collaborate with colleagues throughout California and the world on research and education projects, with the help of a 50 Mb/s metro ethernet connection between the university's West LA Graduate Campus to CalREN's LA hub site.
The addition of this circuit increases Pepperdine's overall bandwidth capacity from 45 Mb/s to 95 Mb/s and also provides a critical redundant link to the Internet.
Timothy Chester, CIO of Pepperdine, said: "The installation of this circuit at our West LA Graduate Campus marks the completion of the first phase of our wide-area-network upgrade. In subsequent phases, circuits to our graduate campuses will be upgraded, providing in some cases a 10x increase in bandwidth. Our London, UK center is also undergoing a network upgrade through a partnership with Imperial College that will provide access to the UK's advanced, high speed network known as JA.NET."
