When it comes to storage, small and medium businesses have a lot in common with large enterprises. Just like the Fortune 400, they need to ensure that data is backed up, retrievable and secure, and that data access complies with governmental regulations. Unfortunately, if you are a small business owner you also cope with some challenges the big guys don't have, budgets are small and your IT staff, if you even have one, may not have storage-specific expertise.

National LambdaRail Inc. (NLR), a consortium of U.S. research universities and private sector technology
companies, today announced six new members. The new members will enable NLR to expand its nationwide infrastructure to
over 10,000 miles, reaching new points of presence in New York City, Baton
Rouge, Houston, Tulsa, Albuquerque, and Phoenix. NLR is an $80 to $100 million
initiative with each member contributing at least $5 million over the next
five years.
The NLR's goal is to
deploy a national networking infrastructure to foster the
concurrent advancement of networking research and next generation
network-based applications in science, engineering, and medicine. NLR aims to
energize innovative research and development into next generation network
technologies, protocols, services, and applications.
New members joining NLR are Cornell University, representing New York and
New England; the Louisiana Board of Regents; the Oklahoma State Board of
Regents; the Texas Lonestar Education and Research Network (LEARN); the
University of New Mexico; and the University Corporation for Atmospheric
Research (UCAR) representing Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.
"Through NLR, members will benefit their own researchers and faculty, as well as the national research
and education communities, by helping to ensure the widespread availability
and use of the unique NLR infrastructure. The addition of our new members
ensures the completion of the national NLR infrastructure by spring 2005."
NLR's national networking infrastructure provides scientists and
networking researchers with unprecedented control over a wide range of
facilities, capabilities, and services that support application-level and
networking-level experiments.
In addition to supporting uses of optical networking capabilities in research and education, a primary goal of
NLR is to bring together networking research communities to solve complex
challenges of network architecture, end-to-end performance, and scaling.
The NLR infrastructure will initially provide four separate 10 gigabit per second
wavelengths with provisions to add another 28 to 36 wavelengths as needed to
support members' research collaborations.
The new NLR members join the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives
in California (CENIC); the Pacific Northwest GigaPop (PNWGP); the Pittsburgh
Supercomputing Center; Duke University, representing a coalition of North
Carolina Universities; the Mid-Atlantic Terascale Partnership (MATP) and the
Virginia Tech Foundation; Cisco Systems; Internet2; Florida LambdaRail; the
Georgia Institute of Technology; and the Committee on Institutional
Cooperation (CIC).
