Connection of Schools to Ohio Academic Resources Network and NSFNET

俄亥俄州立大学请求美国国家科学基金会支持将海德堡大学、安提俄克大学和俄亥俄卫斯理大学连接到俄亥俄学术资源网络（OARnet），该网络是美国国家科学基金会服务于俄亥俄州的中级网络。OARnet的主要目标是促进机构之间的协作项目和资源共享，包括那些州外的机构。OARnet将提供运营管理和信息服务，并将为这三所大学提供与NSFNET的连接，NSFNET是一个高速（每秒150 - 4500万比特）的国家骨干网。大学需要更强大的功能和网络速度，以便能够访问超级计算机、图书馆、进行文件传输以及能够实现更可靠的邮件系统。学生和教师的研究将受益于这种联系。这也是学校探索创新教育资源的独特机会

Ohio State University requests support from NSF for connection of Heidelberg University, Antioch University, and Ohio Wesleyan University to the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) which is the NSF mid-level network that serves the State of Ohio. A primary goal of OARnet is to facilitate collaborative projects and sharing of resources between instutuion, including those outside the state. OARnet will provide operations management and information services and it will give the three universities a connection to the NSFNET, a high speed (1.5 - 45 million bits per second) National Backbone network. The universities need greater functionality and network speed to be able to access supercomputers, libraries, and make file transfers along with being able to implement a more reliable mail system. Students and faculty research will benefit from the link. This is also a unique opportunity for the schools to explore annovative educational resources.***
