CC-NIE Network Infrastructure: Advancing Network Capacity, Efficiency, and Security for Wisconsin Big Data Research Through Improvement of campus research DMZ

强大的网络是将支撑现代科学发现的计算和数据资源联系在一起的纽带。随着对带宽的需求不断增加，以支持对不断增长的海量科学数据的分析，该项目将把威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校(UW-Madison)的研究界带入一个网络技术和能力的新时代。软件定义网络(SDN)技术将用于建立UW-Madison科学非军事区，该非军事区将支持通过Internet2向美国各地的大学和研究机构传输高达100 Gb/秒的数据。这一新的园区范围资源将能够使用OpenFlow等新兴网络协议动态调配部门资源和园区DMZ之间的通信带宽。一个由中央信息技术人员和研究人员组成的新的园区团队将促进这些新功能的部署和运行。这个高级网络团队(ANT)将负责新的网络和软件功能与UW网络基础设施的集成。ANT活动的一个重要组成部分将是监控校园内的网络活动，并指导新的分布式计算技术的研究和开发。广泛的影响：这将使所有校园学术活动受益，包括其他NSF赞助的项目、其他联邦机构资助的活动，以及包括社会科学、人文和艺术在内的其他校园奖学金。所获得的专门知识将在威斯康星大学系统、机构合作委员会和为高等教育、K-12和公共图书馆提供服务的WiscNet区域网络中传播。

Powerful networks are the thread that holds together the computing and data resources that underpin modern scientific discovery. With the ever-increasing demands on bandwidth to support the analysis of the ever-growing volumes of scientific data, this project will transition the University of Wisconsin - Madison (UW-Madison) research community to a new era of networking technologies and capabilities.Software Defined Network (SDN) technologies will be employed to establish the UW-Madison science DMZ that will support up to 100Gb/sec data transfer rate to universities and research institutions across the US through Internet2. Integral to this new campus wide resource will be the ability to use emerging networking protocols like OpenFlow to dynamically provision communication bandwidth between departmental resources and the campus DMZ. A new campus wide team of both central IT and research staff will facilitate the deployment and operation of these new capabilities. This Advanced Network Team (ANT) will be responsible for the integration of the new networking and software capabilities with the UW CyberInfrastructure. An important element of the ANT activity will be to monitor networking activities on the campus and guide research and development of new distributed computing technologies.Broader impacts: This will benefit all campus scholarly activities including other NSF sponsored projects, activities funded by other federal agencies, and other campus scholarship including the social sciences, humanities, and arts. The expertise gained will be disseminated throughout the UW System, the Committee for Institutional Cooperation, and the WiscNet regional network, which serves higher education, K-12, and public libraries.
