Cybera - for SRNet
The document discusses best practices for backup and peering/group buying for cyberinfrastructure networks. It provides examples of how the BCNET network in British Columbia partners with commercial services for scalable and secure 24/7 backup located in the province. It also discusses how BCNET reduces network access costs through peering agreements, which improve service, network efficiency, and provide academic and commercial opportunities. The peering agreements allow for the private peering between BCNET and Google to provide a 1Gb/s connection.
