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(Science DMZ)，加快波多黎各大学里约热内卢分校(UPR-RP)采用先进网络的速度。在大多数大学，制定了网络安全政策，以确保向一般校园社区提供高质量的共同互联网服务。然而，这些策略可能会干扰管理大型数据集、持续传输远程数据和配置分布式系统的最佳实践。除了学术和行政信息，大学网络通常还处理科研数据，这在今天需要访问大型数据集。大学网络政策需要防火墙和其他安全措施来减缓传输过程。PR-Net为UPR-RP提供了以高效方式传输大量数据的能力，而不会损害网络安全。科学非军事区由校园内战略位置的七个接入点(PoA)和校园外的两个PoA组成，以满足进行数据密集型研究的UPR-RP科学家的需求。公关网络的设计是为了增加更多的POA，并与其他机构的科学DMZ相媲美。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、基因测序和艾滋病毒预防干预。此外，公共关系网络通过提供可靠的多播视频会议接入和数据密集型研究机会，加强了UPR-RP的本科生和研究生科学教育，该大学的学生人口中有98%是西班牙裔。

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.
