The document details the IT infrastructure needs for the IAI's potential relocation, listing reusable hardware such as servers and switches, and specifying the need for new routers, firewalls, and racks. It compares the performance of academic network backbones, such as Brazil's Rede Ipê (1Gb/s), against commercial options (e.g., 8Mb/s downstream), emphasizing the importance of securing an academic connection for high-speed data transfer. It also notes the requirement to coordinate with IANA for IP address updates if the institute moves internationally.

• The institute can reuse existing hardware including three servers (one primary for email, DNS, and WEB; others for files, backup, databases, and TWIKI), staff desktops and notebooks, wi-fi access points, no-breaks, and a 24-port 100 Mbits switch, though six devices belonging to INPE must be returned.
• New hardware acquisitions are required for the destination site, specifically a router for Internet access, a firewall for network access control, and a rack to house the equipment.
• The document highlights a significant performance gap between academic and commercial internet connections in Brazil and other Latin American countries; for example, the academic connection via ANSP/RNP (Rede Ipê) provides 1Gb/s, whereas a commercial 'Speedy Negócios' connection would offer a maximum of 8Mb/s downstream and 600Kb/s upstream.
• International traffic exchange is distributed across a 20 Gbp/s connection to academic infrastructures like Internet2 (USA) and Géant (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 relocates to another country, it must contact the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to change the IP address ranges used by the domain 'dir.iai.int'.
