CC-NIE Integration: OneOklahoma Friction Free Network

一个俄克拉荷马州无摩擦网络（OFFN）是四个俄克拉荷马州机构之间的合作，这些机构拥有可用于学术研究的重要高性能计算资源：俄克拉荷马州大学、俄克拉荷马州州立大学、俄克拉荷马州创新研究所的坦迪超级计算中心、兰斯顿大学、俄克拉荷马州唯一一所历史上的黑人大学，沿着俄克拉荷马州的教育机构OneNet，研究和政府信息和电信网络。由高能物理，数值天气预报，生物信息学和天气雷达的研究需求引发，但可供全州所有科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的研究人员使用，OFFN是OneOklahoma Cyberinfrastructure Initiative（OneOCII）的重要组成部分，OneOCII为全州的研究人员和教育工作者提供资源和服务，迄今已为近100个机构和组织提供服务。该项目解决了关键的国家网络基础设施优先事项，特别是部署无摩擦网络和软件定义的网络功能。目标包括：1.在四个机构部署和维护一个研究专用网络，该网络由独立于企业网络的机构最后一英里组件组成，其内部集线器与OneNet搭配使用。在OFFN中应用软件定义网络，促进研究人员通过开放标准工具的分布式层次结构对高带宽/高性能数据流进行端到端管理，为研究人员提供网络传输的新透明度。3.向全州所有相关的研究人员和教育工作者提供这些能力，特别是OFFN和OneOCII，并促进其使用。

The OneOklahoma Friction Free Network (OFFN) is a collaboration among four Oklahoma institutions that have significant High Performance Computing resources available for academic research: the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, the Tandy Supercomputing Center of the Oklahoma Innovation Institute, and Langston University, Oklahoma's only Historically Black University, along with OneNet, Oklahoma's education, research and government information and telecommunications network.Triggered by research needs in high energy physics, numerical weather prediction, bioinformatics and weather radar, but available for researchers across all Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines statewide, OFFN serves as a crucial component of the OneOklahoma Cyberinfrastructure Initiative (OneOCII), which provides resources and services to researchers and educators across the state, and which has so far has served almost 100 institutions and organizations, approximately half of them academic.The project addresses key national Cyberinfrastructure priorities, specifically deployment of friction free networking and software defined networking capabilities. Objectives include:1. Deploy and maintain, at the four institutions, a research-only network consisting of institutional last mile components that are independent of enterprise networks, with its internal hub collocated with OneNet.2. Apply Software Defined Networking across OFFN, facilitating end-to-end management, by researchers, of high bandwidth/high performance data flows through a distributed hierarchy of open standards tools, giving researchers a new layer of transparency into network transport.3. Provide these capabilities -- OFFN's in particular and OneOCII's in general -- to all relevant researchers and educators statewide, and facilitate their use.
