North Carolina State University is deploying a next generation extensible network architecture in support of faculty, staff and students across multiple disciplines, enabled by an NSF CC-NIE networking infrastructure enhancement grant. This architecture introduces new equipment and processes at strategic points in the campus network, and provides a versatile infrastructure in support of e-Science, computing-in-X, and networking research. It also leverages agile techniques like Software Defined Networking (SDN) to meet current and future needs of the campus community, while minimizing capex and opex.The new architecture eliminates bottlenecks, significantly increasing access layer bandwidth in a few strategic locations, to support big data and advanced analytics. This provides immediate benefit to researchers across diverse disciplines who are generating, processing and sharing more data than ever before.The project leverages SDN techniques not only in support of networking research, but also for the construction of a dynamic "Virtualized Science DMZ" to provide enhanced network connectivity to the campus research community. This provides an optimized, easily adopted path for researchers to exchange data on- and off-campus. This project starts North Carolina State University on a roadmap that allows the institution to extend these agile and high-bandwidth services progressively to a larger variety of campus researchers as data transfer needs grow and evolve. In the future, by extending SDN capabilities in partnership with the North Carolina Research and Education Network, the institution will provide SDN capable bandwidth available to other regional universities and the Internet2 Advanced Layer 2 Research Network, ultimately improving the ability to conduct leading edge research.

北卡罗来纳州立大学正在部署下一代可扩展网络架构，以支持跨多个学科的教职员工和学生，该架构由NSF CC-NIE网络基础设施增强拨款支持。该架构在园区网络的战略节点引入新设备和流程，并提供支持e-Science、Computing-in-X和网络研究的多功能基础设施。它还利用软件定义网络(SDN)等灵活技术来满足园区社区当前和未来的需求，同时最大限度地减少资本支出和运营支出。新架构消除了瓶颈，显著增加了少数战略位置的接入层带宽，以支持大数据和高级分析。这为不同学科的研究人员提供了立竿见影的好处，他们正在生成、处理和共享比以往任何时候都更多的数据。该项目不仅利用SDN技术支持网络研究，还利用SDN技术构建动态的“虚拟科学DMZ”，为校园研究社区提供增强的网络连接。这为研究人员在校内外交换数据提供了一条优化的、易于采用的路径。该项目启动了北卡罗来纳州立大学的路线图，使该机构能够随着数据传输需求的增长和发展，逐步将这些灵活的高带宽服务扩展到更多种类的校园研究人员。未来，通过与北卡罗来纳州研究和教育网络合作扩展SDN能力，该机构将为其他地区性大学和Internet2高级第2层研究网络提供支持SDN的带宽，最终提高进行前沿研究的能力。
