CC-NIE Network Infrastructure: Science DMZ and Research Network Upgrade for Case Western Reserve University

CWRU的研究网络升级项目在三个协调领域改善了校园网络基础设施，以满足研究人员对国家研究网络带宽日益增长的需求。新的网络边缘设备通过区域网络OARnet将国家研究网络的带宽增加到100 Gbps。新的网络接入电子设备将10 Gbps带宽扩展到校园的四个区域，并进行工程和物理方面的数据密集型研究。一个新的科学DMZ与数据传输节点减少了大规模的科学和研究数据在全国网络传输的摩擦。增强的网络能力促进了大学不同群体的研究工作，包括成像研究案例中心;药理学和克利夫兰膜和结构生物学中心;以及天体物理学，宇宙学和粒子物理学。这补充了过去在为健康科学园区服务的接入层中的选定位置提供带宽增强的工作。这些先进技术能力的应用在直接主题领域内外带来了更广泛的影响。实时MRI技术的发展被设想为导致用于外科手术的实时成像，其中图像信息从远程数据中心递送给外科医生。结构生物学和杂交方法的进展促进了具有挑战性的生物系统的分子表征，包括膜蛋白，受体和工程病毒载体。新的辐射检测和检测器介质净化技术的发展影响着未来的医学成像、核不扩散和工业过程。

The Research Network Upgrade Project at CWRU improves the campus cyberinfrastructure in three coordinated areas to address increasing demand by research faculty for bandwidth to the national research network. New network edge equipment increases bandwidth to the national research network via the regional network, OARnet, to 100 Gbps. New network access electronics extends 10 Gbps bandwidth to four areas of campus with data-intensive research in engineering and physics. A new Science DMZ with data transfer nodes reduces the friction of large-scale scientific and research data transfers across the national network. The enhanced network capabilities facilitate the research endeavors of diverse groups at the university including the Case Center for Imaging Research; Pharmacology and the Cleveland Center for Membrane and Structural Biology; as well as Astrophysics, Cosmology, and Particle Physics. This complements past work that provided bandwidth enhancements at selected locations in the access layer serving the health sciences campus. The application of these advanced technological capabilities brings broader impacts within and beyond the immediate subject areas. The development of real-time MRI techniques is envisioned to lead to real-time imaging for surgical procedures with image information delivered to the surgeon from a remote data center. Advances in structural biology and hybrid methods facilitates molecular characterization of challenging biological systems including membrane proteins, receptors, and engineered viral vectors. The development of new radiation detection and detector media purification techniques impacts future medical imaging, nuclear non-proliferation, and industrial processes.
