News and Events: Lambda Rail Fully Operational

The Lambda Rail, a high speed network connection between all three AtlanTICC Alliance institutions is now ready for use by all members of the Alliance.

The linkage has been set up for use in the following areas: :

• videoconferencing that will be performed easily and frequently for regularly scheduled meetings and ad-hoc researcher collaborations
• remote use of the ORNL electron microscopes
• sharing of data
• use of supercomputer at ORNL
• transportation of data in real time from instruments at SNS and the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at ORNL
• access to analytical equipment at all three institutions
• sharing of lectures, workshops and academic courses
• any other future remote instrumentation access and control and data transfer applications as they are developed

Many people have worked on making this happen - a lot of effort has gone into setting it up and making it work but it now works amazingly well.  The teams have been led by Brian Savory (GT), Ian Gould (Imperial) and Bill Wing (ORNL).
