The New Zealand Advanced Network
project – a National Research and
Education Network (NREN)




2
High performance Ethernet and IP backbone network
Enabling development of advanced Internet applications
in research & education sectors
Supports deployment of leading edge network services
to the Universities, CRIs, National Library, schools,
libraries, museums and others in the R&E sector
Complements and peers with other high performance
NRENs internationally and in NZ – “opening the borders”
Formal Project Objectives





3
To enable leading edge e-research
To facilitate universal connectivity throughout the New
Zealand and international research and education
community
To encourage broad participation by the research and
education sector in New Zealand through accessible
technology and reasonable pricing
To connect the research and education sector to the
broader innovation community for pre-commercial,
research and development–based collaboration.
To facilitate participation by multiple telecommunications
sector partners, so as to ensure the greatest possible
flexibility for on-going evolution
How is this structured?
Initially Crown-owned company – Research and Education
Advanced Network New Zealand Ltd (REANNZ)
 Directors – Dr Jim Watson (Chair), Prof Warwick Clegg, Carol
Moffatt, Dr Rick Pridmore, Jane Taylor

CEO - Donald Clark
Development – Charles Jarvie
Operations – Mark Cordy
Communities - TBA
Establishment funding NZ$43M over ~ 4 years
Separate Capability Building Program (CBP) to facilitate
professional skill development
Members, associates and partners pay an annual subscription
aimed to cover operational costs, and equipment replacement
Who can use this network?


Aimed primarily at Universities, Crown Research
Institutes and the National Library as members and
eventual owners
Participation by schools, museums, and libraries to
provide opportunities for collaboration across
education and research.
Network Access Policy (NAP) defines who may use
the network and for what purpose – it does not
define applications that may utilise the network. NAP
is consistent with those of overseas NRENs.
Also allows others (Associates and Partners) to use
the network for R&E activity and the support of R&E
activity.

We can’t just continue to “steer by our wake”
Essential area of work to enable effective early and
sustained network utilisation
Build awareness of, and participate in the development
of, middleware and applications
To invite international experts to present at technical
workshops, and to inform strategic planning processes
Initially requires a degree of coordination to ensure basic
skills are developed quickly and consistently for common
network applications
REANNZ has a strong incentive to achieve early
adoption so is coordinating aspects of network-oriented
capability building with its own member training activities

Participate and contribute to working groups and projects
Formalising relationships to enable network peering and
cement collaborative intentions for research and education,
plus international network sharing
CBP will sponsor both-way travel opportunities
NZ Advanced Network project –
its promise and potential

Message from Charles
We will be having a launch event on 31 August
in Auckland so we would ask any members who
might be in New Zealand around that time to
contact me and I can arrange an invitation to the
function at the University of Auckland or the
related activities at the University of Canterbury.
