OARnet Connection of Hocking College

9311974布朗·俄亥俄州立大学请求国家科学基金会支持霍金学院与俄亥俄州学术资源网络(OARnet)的连接，俄亥俄州学术资源网络是为俄亥俄州提供服务的国家科学基金会的中层网络。OARnet的一个主要目标是促进机构之间的合作项目和资源共享，包括国家以外的机构。OARnet将提供运营管理和信息服务，它将为这六所大学提供每秒56000比特的连接到NSFnet，这是一个高速(150-4500万比特每秒)的国家骨干网络。大学需要更高的功能和网络速度才能访问超级计算机、图书馆和进行文件传输，并能够实施更可靠的邮件系统。学生和教职员工的研究将从这种联系中受益。这也是学校探索创新教育资源的独特机会。***

9311974 Brown Ohio State University requests support from NSF for the connection of Hocking College 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 institutions, including those outside the state. OARnet will provide operations management and information services and it will give the six universities a 56 thousand bit per second 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 innovative educational resources. ***
