This biannual major release delivers important stability improvements, dependency modernization, usability enhancements, and refined visualization behavior. A cornerstone of this release is the formal integration with the AtlanticWave-SDX project, through a component referred to as the \u201cSDX driver\u201d. The AtlanticWave-SDX API was first integrated with SENSE in release 2025.1.1, and later improved in release 2026.1. The SENSE SDX driver is a key component in the SENSE-O (Orchestrator) stack. It is used to communicate with the AtlanticWave-SDX controller to gather information about topology and available resources, to provision L2 circuits, and to enable service monitoring. By integrating SENSE and SDX, the R&amp;E community, especially users of SENSE, will benefit from visibility to a variety of resources spread across distributed intercontinental Open Exchange Points (OXPs) in the U.S., Chile, Brazil, and South Africa &#8230;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/?p=6467\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n<table class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\">\n<table class=\"mcnDividerContent\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dvder-300x12.jpg\" alt=\"AmLight\" width=\"600\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dvder-300x12.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dvder.jpg 431w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"mc-toc-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/?p=6451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6534 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga-300x155.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga-200x104.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga-400x207.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga-600x311.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga-768x398.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga-800x415.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga-1024x531.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/TangoConga.jpg 1096w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>TANGO\/CoNGA@SC25: Dancing Toward More Sustainable Cyberinfrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mc-toc-title\"><em>January 16, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The STEM-Trek TANGO@SC25 workshop, held in collaboration with the Conference on Next-Generation Arithmetic (CoNGA) and Texas A&amp;M University, convened in St. Louis to explore the future of sustainable cyberinfrastructure.

Demonstrating the power of the newly optimized AmLight backbone, data transfer speeds over the East Coast-to-Cape Town link peaked at an impressive 7.02 GB\/s. This massive transfer equivalent to moving 1 TB in just 2 minutes and 22 seconds replaced the previous, inefficient method of shipping physical data samples. The successful completion of this long-path transfer, which included raw and processed datasets of 30TB, 9TB, and 3TB, established a new baseline performance metric. This achievement is now being used to further optimize future large-scale research workflows, cementing the role of high-performance networking as a critical enabler of distributed scientific collaboration &#8230;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.ucsc.edu\/2025\/09\/cryo-em-collaboration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody class=\"mcnDividerBlockOuter\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"mcnDividerBlockInner\">\n<table class=\"mcnDividerContent\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dvder-300x12.jpg\" alt=\"AmLight\" width=\"600\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dvder-300x12.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/dvder.jpg 431w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p class=\"mc-toc-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/?p=6455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6529 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-300x163.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-200x109.png 200w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-400x218.png 400w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-600x327.png 600w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-768x418.png 768w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-800x436.png 800w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-1024x558.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF-1200x654.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.amlight.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AmLightNF.png 1239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>AmLight SA3CC Face-to-Face \/ Virtual Meeting \u2013 May 19-20, and the Vera Rubin Observatory NET meeting, May 21-22, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Upcoming<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We are pleased to announce the 2026 SA3CC meeting, scheduled for May 6-7, followed by the Vera Rubin Network Engineering Team (NET) meeting on May 8-9, 2025.
