RUNNet was put in place to provide Russian universities with a
best-of- breed communications links to the Internet to facilitate
the exchange of curriculum materials, studies and research data,
and help RUNNet collaborate on research projects with other Russian
and foreign universities. "We needed a large amount of bandwidth to
exchange large volumes of data reliably between our universities,"
said Yury Izhvanov First Deputy Director RUNNet. "After evaluating
several providers, Cogent proved to be one of the best and the most
cost effective solutions. Since so many American university
networks like The Quilt, SURA, OARnet, MichNet are already
connected to Cogent, it became an obvious choice for us." "Cogent
has had significant success as the Internet Service Provider of
choice to the university and scientific research community in the
US and Canada. It is a natural progression to extend this reach
into other parts of the world and we are proud to welcome RUNNet on
our network," said Dave Schaeffer, CEO of Cogent Communications.

the university community with ample bandwidth to meet the most
cutting-edge and demanding needs of research today, without
engulfing their IT budgets." About Cogent Communications Cogent
