项目摘要

There is a growing demand at Auburn University for an on-campus cyberinfrastructure that can enable high-speed communication for data-intensive scientific simulation and analytics applications. The lack of a high-speed network cyberinfrastructure on-campus has significantly constrained the growth of multidisciplinary data-driven scientific research. Such a cyberinfrastructure is important for interdisciplinary data analytics at Auburn.This project constructs a cutting-edge campus-wide network infrastructure called TigerSphere. It deploys a fabric of 10 Gbps switches to connect colleges, schools, research centers at Auburn via dual 10 Gbps links, increasing the connection bandwidth from all colleges/schools to the Auburn backbone by 20 times (from 1 Gbps to 20 Gbps), and the bandwidth of edge networks at colleges/schools by 100 times (from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps). In addition, TigerSphere includes a new fiber circuit of 10 Gbps to national scientific networks such as Internet2, enabling high-bandwidth, large-volume data movement from and to national data/computing centers. Furthermore, TigerSphere substantially improves Auburn University cyberinfrastructure for multidisciplinary research and training activities, particularly for data-intensive scientific computation and analytics.This network infrastructure has broader impact in several aspects, such as improving Auburn network infrastructure with a high-speed ubiquitous TigerSphere, promoting multidisciplinary collaborations within Auburn University and with nearby organizations, enhancing research training activities and broadening the participation of under-represented students in professional computing careers.

奥本大学对校园网络基础设施的需求不断增长，该校园可以实现数据密集型科学模拟和分析应用的高速通信。缺乏高速网络网络基础设施在校园内极大地限制了多学科数据驱动的科学研究的增长。这种网络基础设施对于奥本（Auburn）的跨学科数据分析很重要。此项目构建了一个尖端的校园网络基础设施，称为Tigersphere。它通过双10 Gbps链接将10 Gbps开关的织物部署在Auburn的中心，从所有大学/学校到Auburn主链的连接带宽增加了20次（从1 Gbps到20 Gbps），并将连接带宽增加了20次，并增加了100倍的Edge网络（从100倍）（100 GBPS）（10 GBPS）。此外，Tigersphere还包括一个新的10 Gbps的纤维电路到国家科学网络，例如Internet2，从而可以从和到国家数据/计算中心，从而实现高带宽，大批量数据移动。 Furthermore, TigerSphere substantially improves Auburn University cyberinfrastructure for multidisciplinary research and training activities, particularly for data-intensive scientific computation and analytics.This network infrastructure has broader impact in several aspects, such as improving Auburn network infrastructure with a high-speed ubiquitous TigerSphere, promoting multidisciplinary collaborations within Auburn University and with nearby组织，加强研究培训活动，扩大代表性不足的学生从事专业计算职业的参与。
