High performance data networks are critical infrastructure for researchers and educators who rely on unimpeded access to remote instrumentation, massive data sets and distant collaborators to achieve objectives in science and engineering fields. This project builds a high-performance research network at the University of Dayton to provide unimpeded connections to other research institutions via state and national high-capacity networks. The project expands the campus network from 1Gb to 10Gb and establishes science DMZs in four science and engineering facilities across the campus, providing researchers with new capabilities. Research initiatives link researchers with colleagues and students for: (1) education and outreach initiatives at Sinclair Community College and regional high schools, (2) remote instrumentation access at The Ohio State University, (3) climate research remote processing at the Ohio Supercomputer Center, and (4) collaborative sensors research at Central State University (a historically black university). This network expansion connects the University at 10Gbps to Internet2 and OARnet's IntraOhio (both running at 100Gbps). Additionally, the University of Dayton is utilizing perfSONAR monitoring to measure and document the performance of the science DMZs.The key upgrades for this project include installing science DMZ edge hardware and upgrading distribution and access layers at the University of Dayton, and hardware upgrades for science DMZ connections at Central State University. These improvements enable our scientists and engineers to better connect, collaborate, and share science data, provide robust STEM educational outreach, contribute to high-value workforce development and create cost-effective models for sharing scarce scientific resources.

对于研究人员和教育工作者来说，高性能数据网络是关键的基础架构，这些研究人员和教育工作者依靠对远程仪器，大量数据集和遥远的合作者的不受阻碍的访问来实现科学和工程领域的目标。该项目在代顿大学建立了一个高性能的研究网络，可通过州和国家高容量网络与其他研究机构提供不受阻碍的联系。该项目将校园网络从1GB扩展到10GB，并在整个校园的四个科学和工程设施中建立了科学DMZ，为研究人员提供了新的功能。研究举措将研究人员与同事和学生联系起来：（1）辛克莱社区学院和地区高中的教育和外展计划，（2）俄亥俄州立大学的远程仪器访问，（3）俄亥俄州超级计算机中心的气候研究远程处理，以及（4）中央州立大学（一所历史悠久的黑色大学）的合作传感器研究。该网络扩展将大学的10Gbps连接到Internet2和Oarnet的Intraohio（均以100Gbps运行）。此外，代顿大学还利用Perfsonar监控来测量和记录科学DMZ的性能。该项目的关键升级包括安装Science DMZ Edge硬件，并在代顿大学安装和升级分布和访问层，以及在中等州立大学的科学DMZ Connections的硬件升级。这些改进使我们的科学家和工程师能够更好地联系，协作和共享科学数据，提供强大的STEM教育外展，为高价值的劳动力发展做出贡献，并创建具有成本效益的模型，以共享稀缺的科学资源。
