This document outlines the IT hardware and network requirements for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) in the event of a relocation. It details existing equipment to be reused, necessary new purchases, and a comparison between academic and commercial internet connectivity options.

• The institute can reuse existing hardware including three servers (one primary for email, DNS, and WEB; others for file services, backup, databases, and TWIKI), staff desktops and notebooks, Wi-Fi access points, no-breaks, and a 24-port 100 Mbits switch. However, six pieces of equipment belonging to INPE must be returned to that institute.
• Relocation will require the purchase of a router for internet access, a firewall for network access control, and a rack to house the equipment. The local network should be structured using category 5 twisted-pair (UTP) cabling for a 100 Mbits Ethernet network, following the 7-layer OSI model.
• The document highlights a significant performance gap between academic and commercial internet connections. The current academic connection via the 'Rede Ipê' backbone provides 1Gb/s to ANSP and INPE, with the IAI connected to INPE at 100Mb/s. In contrast, a commercial connection like Telefônica's 'Speedy Negócios' would offer a maximum of 8Mb/s downstream and 600Kb/s upstream.
• International traffic exchange is distributed across a 20 Gbp/s connection to international academic infrastructures (such as Internet2 in the US and Géant in Europe), 3.5 Gbp/s to the global commercial internet, and 1.45 Gb/s to the Rede Clara (Latin American Cooperation of Advanced Networks).
• If the IAI moves to a different country, it must contact the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to change the IP address ranges used by the domain 'dir.iai.int'.
