CC-NIE Networking Infrastructure: Perimeter Network to Expedite the Transmission of Science Project (PR NETS)

CC-NIE网络基础设施：加速科学传输的周边网络（PR-NETS）项目旨在通过有针对性地投资网络设备和建立无防火墙网络（或科学DMZ）来加速波多黎各-里奥皮德拉斯大学（UPR-RP）采用先进的网络。在大多数大学网络安全政策的制定，以确保高质量的公共互联网服务的一般校园社区。然而，这些策略可能会干扰大型数据集管理、远程数据的持续传输和分布式系统配置的最佳实践。除了学术和行政信息外，大学网络通常还处理科学研究数据，如今需要访问大型数据集。大学网络政策要求防火墙和其他安全措施，以减缓传输过程。PR-NETS提供了UPR-RP的能力，以有效的方式传输大量数据，而不会影响网络安全。科学DMZ由校园内战略位置的七个接入点（PoA）和位于校园外的两个PoA组成，以满足进行数据密集型研究的UPR-RP科学家的需求。 PR-NETS旨在增加更多的PoA，并与其他机构的科学DMZ进行对等。该项目扩大了对国家安全和提高经济竞争力至关重要的领域的研究，如纳米技术，基因测序和艾滋病预防干预。此外，PR-NETS通过实现可靠的多播视频会议访问和数据密集型研究机会，增强了UPR-RP的本科生和研究生科学教育，其学生人口98%为西班牙裔。

The CC-NIE Networking Infrastructure: Perimeter Network to Expedite the Transmission of Science (PR-NETS) project seeks to accelerate adoption of advanced networking at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras (UPR-RP) through targeted investment in networking equipment and establishment of a firewall-less network, or Science DMZ. In most universities network security policies are developed to ensure high quality common Internet services to the general Campus community. These policies, however, may interfere with the best practices for the management of large datasets, constant transmission of remote data, and configurations of distributed systems. In addition to academic and administrative information, university networks usually also handle scientific research data, which today entails access to large datasets. University network policies require firewalls and other security measures that slow the transmission process. The PR-NETS provides the UPR-RP's capacity to transfer large amounts of data in an efficient manner without compromising cyber security. The Science DMZ consists of seven points of access (PoAs) at strategic locations on Campus and two PoAs located just off Campus to serve the needs of UPR-RP scientists who conduct data intensive research. PR-NETS is designed to allow the addition of more PoAs, and peering with Science DMZ from other institutions.The project amplifies research in areas critical to national security and increased economic competitiveness, such as nanotechnology, gene sequencing, and HIV prevention intervention. Furthermore, the PR-NETS enhances undergraduate and graduate science education at the UPR-RP, whose student population is 98% Hispanic, by enabling reliable multicast videoconference access and data intensive research opportunities.
