Multi-Use Network Update

1. Multi-Use Network Update Presented to: Colorado Higher Education Computing Organization CHECO Spring Conference 2001

2. MNT Update • ANAP Status • SEDGE / EDGE Status • Business Issues • Circuit validation • Rates • Order / billing process • MNT & Higher Education - Relationship • MNT & Higher Education - Principles

3. State of Colorado Multi-Use Network ANAP Status • MNT Contract Signed June 23, 2000 • ANAPs are QWEST network access points • Deployment of 70 ANAP sites connected over ATM backbone • 3-Year phased installation • Phase 1 (42 ANAPs) • Phase 2 (19 ANAPs) • Phase 3 ( 9 ANAPs) • On Target for Phase 1 Completion - June 30, 2001 • 33 ANAPs up and ready for conversion • 9 ANAPs on schedule for deployment before 6/30/01

4. State of Colorado Multi-Use Network SEDGE/EDGE Status • SEDGE/EDGE Site Implementation • SEDGE/EDGE sites are State aggregation points • ATM to 26 EDGE sites (expanded to 47 sites) • 32 State EDGE sites scheduled for Phase 1 installation • Cisco data switches have been installed and are operating in test environment • Conversion of all circuits from existing State APEX switches to the new Cisco MGX is in progress • Flash cut originally scheduled for Mid-March was rescheduled due to vendor failure to provide necessary support - delays completion of SEDGE conversion until Mid-May • Still expect to meet 6-30-01 deadline even with delay

5. Multi-Use Network Business Issues Multi-Use Network Vision • State Government Circuit Validation Process • QWEST has provided circuit inventory • Agency validation/circuit inventory underway – complete by 5-10-01 • Redesign efforts in place to convert non-Frame/ATM circuits in a separate phase • Rates • Will present new rates and per circuit charges to all agencies by 6-1-01 • State agencies will respond within 30 days with exceptions • MNT needs to be revenue neutral • Cost components still outstanding: NMS, Internet • Order / Billing • Will present summary of expected cutover orders and documentation of order/billing process by 6-1-01

6. MNT & Higher Education Relationship Basic Premise MNT needs Higher Education bandwidth to keep state agency Cloud Charge reasonable. Higher Education needs MNT bandwidth to make Gigapop Internet pricing reasonable.

7. MNT & Higher Education Principles • Four Areas of Focus • By June 1, 2001, we must identify point-to-point connections that Higher Ed wishes to maintain • Circuit inventories due from each institution to Phil Bisant by 5-10-01 • Terminations must be at MNT sites negotiated with CGTS • Pricing is MNT cloud charge (plus whatever existing charges are paid)- CGTS will develop an OC3 rate • CGTS will set standards for accommodating secondary connections behind Higher Ed (e.g. billing requirements, access points, etc.) • Private parties can not be accommodated per statute

8. MNT & Higher Education Principles • Four Areas of Focus – contd. • Layer 3 / Internet – current plans • State will join Gigapop as part of this agreement • Options for subpoliticals (K-12, counties, other local govts.) • Keep existing connections through Higher Ed • State contract with AT&T / C&W should allow non-portable IP addresses • Local ISPs • Layer 3 / Internet – future plans • Budget request for engineering study – FY 01-02 supplemental or FY 02-03 • Set standards for State, Higher Ed, K-12, all subpoliticals based on study • Budget request to implement – FY 03-04 or FY 04-05
