This project facilitates national and international collaborations among scientists for environmental research by establishing a high-speed Science DMZ at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, an emerging research institution, whose research focus is on the Gulf of Mexico and its resources. The Science DMZ is designed to securely and reliably share data among scientists for research in various fields such as coastal, marine, atmospheric, and environmental sciences. This new cyberinfrastructure is aimed to promote connectivity among all scientific researchers in the Texas A&M University system institutions - 11 universities and 1 Health Science Center. The high-speed Science DMZ network, to some extent, is designed to be physically separate from the existing campus-wide network infrastructure to ensure high data rate, reliability, and security. Fiber optic links, high-performance switches, and high-performance routers, all in duplicate, are used to connect four major science and engineering buildings to the Science DMZ thus achieving high reliability and double data rate. Traffic to and from the Science DMZ are not firewalled, thus allowing free flow of science data. Instead, security of the Science DMZ and its data servers are provided by passive monitoring of incoming as well as outgoing traffic by an intrusion detection system. The InCommon authentication system allows external collaborators to access resources at the data centers. The project will transform the university into a major source of environmental research data, create research opportunities for its minority student body, expand research in all key environmental research areas around the globe through collaboration, and improve data flow for greater dissemination of ongoing research findings.

该项目通过在得克萨斯州A＆M大学 - 大学 - 科里普斯·克里斯蒂（Christi）建立高速科学DMZ（一家新兴的研究机构），促进了环境研究科学家的国家和国际合作，该研究机构的研究重点是墨西哥湾及其资源。科学DMZ旨在安全可靠地共享科学家之间的数据，以在沿海，海洋，大气和环境科学等各个领域的研究中进行研究。这种新的网络基础设施旨在促进德克萨斯州A＆M大学系统机构的所有科学研究人员之间的连通性-11所大学和1个健康科学中心。高速科学DMZ网络在某种程度上被设计为与现有校园范围内的网络基础架构物理分开，以确保高数据速率，可靠性和安全性。光纤链接，高性能开关和高性能路由器都重复地将四座主要的科学和工程建筑与科学DMZ连接起来，从而达到了高可靠性和双重数据速率。往返科学DMZ的流量没有被防火墙，因此可以自由流通科学数据。取而代之的是，科学DMZ及其数据服务器的安全性是通过通过入侵检测系统对传入以及传出流量的被动监视提供的。 Incommon身份验证系统允许外部合作者访问数据中心的资源。该项目将把大学转变为环境研究数据的主要来源，为其少数族裔学生团体创造研究机会，通过协作扩大全球所有关键环境研究领域的研究，并改善数据流以更大程度地传播正在进行的研究发现。
