    2626Goals:
    27 
    28 Approach:
     27**Provide broad data gathering, analysis and archival capability that is sufficient for scientific mission, operations, and success of the infrastructure.
     28
     29**Remove the burden on researcher to become a system and network measurement infrastructure expert so that researcher can better focus on the science in the experiments
     30
     31**Follow defined I&M architecture
     32 
     33Approach:
     34** Two large I&M projects (GIMI and GEMINI) approved from Sol 3, which include groups that have provided OML, INSTOOLS and LAMP/perfSONAR tools
     35
     36**SOWS for remaining Year 3 of Sol 2 I&M projects focused on key topics that need to be resolved
