- Description
- DREN4 Industry Day will be held on Tuesday, July 10, 2018 starting at 8:30 AM Eastern Time (ET) (registration begins at 8:00 AM ET) The High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP) is hosting an Industry Day in support of the DREN4 acquisition. The HPCMP is investigating the capabilities available for implementing the Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN), a component of the HPCMP. DREN provides high performance wide area network services including cybersecurity in support of the Department of Defense (DoD) scientists and engineers. DREN is a sophisticated, robust, high performance communications network that incorporates the best capabilities of both DoD and the commercial telecommunications infrastructure. DREN is DoD's premier Wide Area Network (WAN) communication service provider for research, development, test, evaluation, and acquisition engineering. DREN enables scientists and engineers at defense laboratories, test centers, universities, and industry sites throughout the United States to use HPCMP computing resources. DREN provides secure gateways to existing Federal and civilian networks, allowing access to the program's resource centers from a wide variety of facilities. The network links customer sites to HPCMP's DoD Supercomputing Resource Centers (DSRCs) and Affiliated Resource Centers (ARCs). Additional background material on HPCMP can be found at The networking services of DREN are currently provided by a virtual WAN built on a commercial communications network and provide digital data transfer services between defined Service Delivery Points (SDP) that comprise DREN. SDPs are specified in terms of bandwidth requirements, physical interface, and transport protocols. DREN's Internet Protocol (IP version 6 and version 4) service for video, audio, imaging, and digital data connects to other research and academic networks at private and public Internet Exchanges (IX). As of 2017, DREN has a mix of approximately 180 sites at 50 megabit per second (Mbps) through 40 gigabits per second (Gbps) rates. The HPCMP will continue to upgrade DREN by establishing connectivity at new sites, increasing bandwidth at existing sites, as well as inserting technology across the network. The DREN4 Industry Day will consist of a HPCMP presentation on the DREN Program. The DREN4 Industry Day will be held on Tuesday, July 10, 2018 starting at 8:30 AM Eastern Time (ET) (registration begins at 8:00 AM ET). The DREN4 Industry Day will be held at the Harbour View, 13200 Marina Way, Woodbridge, VA 22191.
