Intel ( China) Limited company, Chinese Hewlett-Packard Co., Ltd., and Chinese Education and Research Net (CERNET) Announce today, CERNET will join PlanetLab namely Internet's plan in the future (hereafter referred to as supported by Intel and HP: PlanetLab) --Each is open, last Internet of future generation and " The embryonic form " Global platform developed and tested in application and service. 25 houses of first-class university will become PlanetLab first batch of members in China in China. It aims at strengthening the research and development between first-class university and global research community of China and cooperating to dispose PlanetLab in China, direct against the technological development of globalism of Internet of future generation in order to further promote.
PlanetLab one kind calculates to serve " The overlay network " (Overlay) ,Also develop the brand-new technical open global test platform of Internet. Already 150 world-class universities and trade research laboratories have become PlanetLab project alliance members at present, including the AT&T laboratory *, Cambridge University *, Freneh Telecom *, HP *, NEC laboratory *, Princeton University * and Berkeley branch school * of University of California study education network, and Internet 2* mechanism together with Brazil, Canada and country of China.
PlanetLab bring a great deal of new characteristic also, permanent storage (get Internet, establish one " The memory " ). For example, make the data by finding again in good condition since to 100 years from now, even released this machine format computer originally and already pass out of existence. In addition, this research will also influence the design work of server, router and network handler in the future.
Technological director of Division Chinese technical market Ling Qi of Intel Corporation shows: " PlanetLab cooperates to study the modal outstanding model newly and openly, makes academy and trade researcher develop new developing technology hand in hand. PlanetLab has established a fictitious laboratory, for global researchers to develop the brand-new Internet service, explore how to improve Internet in order to support to innovate constantly better at the same time. It has an extremely important meaning for Chinese researchers, this will make them participate in getting and globalizing cooperating, promote at the same time and direct against the technological development of Internet of future generation. "
" HP believes Internet of future generation will become can really offer the network of the global service, it when being every one ubiquitous, does not have in, effective systems strong. PlanetLab plan tests, it is the route to implement such a broad system too. " Chinese Hewlett-Packard limited customer of incorporated business and group technological director of consultative department Peng YuLong of government utility says, " The concept that PlanetLab develops, representatives calculate the innovation leap that the framework may bring in Internet's application and HP adaptability. In this research and development, the participation of China will play an indispensable role. HP's input to PlanetLab indicate we to provide adaptive of future generation commitment of Internet service that innovate for China and the whole world too. "
PlanetLab China start of project whether Intel and HP promote China raise the intersection of technological innovation and long-term important constituent element of commitment of research and development ability. This project will set up node of 50 PlanetLabs in 25 universities in 20 cities in China at first, this will make CERNET become the first regional PlanetLab research center of Asia. Intel and HP will cooperate through research, the apparatus will be granted, technical support, and training CERNET researcher and technical staff etc., offer support for this project.
Internet of future generation will add abundant computational capability for the communication function of existing Internet, and offer the extensive one " Globalized commercial service (planetary-scale commercial services) " ,In order to support brand-new typological application, help the network to deal with the question more intelligently. Intel, HP and CERNET will cooperate with first-class university of China, will set up one to study the platform above the nodal foundation of CERNET Off-The-Shelf scientific research. When the time comes, Chinese researchers can carry on disposing and test to the extensive one, service and application globalized on PlanetLab platform.
Important cooperative partner that CERNET that PlanetLab plans can succeed in expanding in China. CERNET has maturity network which covers more than 200 cities in China, offer the Internet access service of broadband to more than 1,300 universities, educational institution, R&D institution, and 15 million users of people. CERNET is still the basic platform of China's teleeducation.
Professor Li Xing, director of CERNET network center of Tsing-Hua University, shows: " CERNET and China one of the backbone of Internet CERNET2 of future generation, have offered the infrastructure for the fact that PlanetLab planned the arrangement and development in China. Put PlanetLab into while being batch university that platform build straight the intersection of CERNET2 and the intersection of backbone and event bear the university too, have high-level and interdisciplinary research talents. We hope for the Chinese university and make the scientific research results in PlanetLab this open, cooperate, world network research and network Application Platforms sincerely, promote the development of Internet of future generation. "
Internet which China develops at full speed employs the potential value which demonstrates Internet of future generation. There are 87 million Internet users in China's Mainland, and by 27% of the annual growth snowball. This exciting growth trend has created the huge business opportunity, but brought some questions at the same time, the intersection of IP address and shortage, the intersection of network traffic and poor efficiency, safety problem, and user confused, etc.
