CC-NIE Networking Infrastructure: Upgrading the Campus Networks to Support Data Intensive Research at the University of Hawaii

夏威夷创新计划是一项大胆的计划，旨在将夏威夷大学的研究增加一倍，将重点放在天文学、地球和海洋科学以及农业和健康科学方面的研究优势上。在该计划的规划过程中，所有人都清楚地认识到，要实现这一目标，需要开发一个高度先进的网络基础设施（CI）框架，该框架包括高性能计算、数据可视化、大数据分析、网络安全、大数据存储以及与全球科学家的实时协作。所有这些功能都必须通过高级网络来启用。UH在设计和实施研究和教育（R&amp；E）网络方面非常成功，将整个夏威夷群岛的校园、研究设施、公立学校和图书馆与国家、国际和地区网络连接起来。最近的一系列NSF网络基础设施和NTIA BTOP奖项现在在岛屿上，岛屿之间，向大陆国家研发网络以及澳大利亚和亚洲的国际对等网络提供10Gbps网络连接。随着校园光纤基础设施的重大升级得到充分资助并正在进行中，该项目将完成马诺阿大学校园网的必要升级，通过创建科学DMZ和为关键校园研究设施提供10Gbps带宽增加来支持数据密集型科学。该项目将使OpenFlow能够在校园内推出，与奥斯卡动态电路供应完全兼容，并将支持GENI实验。最后，该项目包括perfSONAR工具的创新部署，以支持对校园网的持续监控，同时尽可能减少对员工的影响。提出的perfSONAR工作代表了校园网络的真正创新。具有校园和全球影响的范例项目将受益于改进的校园网，包括：Pan- STARRS调查望远镜，阿尔法磁谱数据中心，微生物海洋学研究和教育中心STC的微生物海洋学研究，夏威夷海洋生物研究所，以及夏威夷大学海洋与地球科学与技术学院气候变化，海洋学和灾难准备的传感器研究。此外，广泛的国家和全球访问将得到改善，以夏威夷为基地的重要科学资源。作为EPSCoR辖区内首屈一指的研究型大学，UH Manoa拥有全国最多样化的人口之一。UH是一所夏威夷原住民服务机构，同时招收了数量可观且不断增长的太平洋岛民和菲律宾学生，他们在stem相关的就业和教育领域的代表性也非常低。没有被充分代表的本地和大陆学生和学者越来越多地参与夏威夷的研究？这将导致整个国家在美国的研究和教育方面的进步。

The Hawaii Innovation Initiative, a bold plan to double University of Hawaii (UH) research, will focus on research strengths in astronomy, earth and ocean sciences, as well as agriculture and health sciences. During the planning for the initiative it became clear to all that meeting this goal would require the development of a highly advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) framework that encompasses high performance computing, data visualization, big data analytics, cybersecurity, large data storage and real time collaboration with scientists around the globe. All these capabilities must be enabled by advanced networking. UH has been extraordinarily successful in designing and implementing research and education (R&E) networks to connect campuses, research facilities, public schools and libraries throughout the Hawaiian Islands with national, international and regional networks. A recent series of NSF network infrastructure and NTIA BTOP awards now provide 10Gbps network connectivity on the islands, between the islands, to the mainland national R&E networks and to international peer networks in Australia and Asia.With a major upgrade in the campus fiber infrastructure fully funded and underway, this project will complete the necessary upgrade of the campus network at UH Manoa to support data-intensive science by creating a Science DMZ and providing 10Gbps bandwidth increases to key campus research facilities. The project will enable the rollout of OpenFlow on campus, is fully compatible with OSCARS for dynamic circuit provisioning, and will support GENI experimentation. Finally, the project includes the innovative deployment of perfSONAR tools to support continuous monitoring of the campus network with the lowest possible impact on staff.The proposed perfSONAR work represents a real innovation in campus networking. Exemplar projects with campus and global implications that will benefit from improved campus networks include: the Pan- STARRS Survey Telescope, the Alpha Magnetic Spectroscopy Data Center, microbial oceanography research at the Center for Microbial Oceanography Research and Education STC, the Hawaii Institute for Marine Biology, and sensor based research in climate change, oceanography and disaster preparedness at the UH School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. In addition, broad national and global access will be improved to significant scientific resources based in Hawaii. And as the premier research university in an EPSCoR jurisdiction, UH Manoa has one of the most diverse populations in the nation. UH is a Native Hawaiian-Serving Institution and also enrolls significant and growing numbers of Pacific Islander and Filipino students, who are also highly under-represented in STEM-related employment and education. The increased engagement of under-represented local and mainland students and scholars in research in Hawai?i will lead to improvements in U.S. research and education for the entire nation.
