Abstract

• In response to budgetary pressure, ED asked to consider ways to reduce costs accrued by JNTC technical infrastructure– JTEN one of the largest JNTC cost drivers

• As a result of previous budget cuts, most cost reductions taken with regard to JTEN have already been taken

• Therefore the best place to consider cost reductions now is in the size of the network itself

Method

• Based on work begun 2 years ago in the JTEN Recapitalization project, there are a number of sites on the JTEN that have low utilization rates

• These sites could be removed to save equipment maintenance costs and their needs for JTEN satisfied by the deployment of a JTEN pod

• Recommended cut list based on JTEN Recapitalization metrics• Projected savings by proposed reduction approx. $750,000 OM/

• Two sites will be eliminated as no longer necessary under JTEN 2.0 (JTEN 1.0 hubs without local customers)

• Several sites can be made local backside connections to nearby JTEN nodes – JTEN node at such a site is eliminated and local network connected as backside to neighbor node– SITE PICKS UP REMAINING COSTS

• Remaining sites nominated on basis of low utilization, except in cases of special interest (link to another network, etc.)
