Support of Campus Cyberinfrastructure at Non-Research Intensive and EPSCoR Institutions

这个为期两年的项目增强了校园网络基础设施和具有显着研究项目的学院和大学的外部连接，即使该机构可能不是主要以研究为重点。 它提供专注于校园基础设施和外部连接的研讨会，以支持研究和教学，以及“老虎队”校园访问，以协助技术实施。 它建立在Internet 2在校园基础设施增强，以校园为中心的网络性能研讨会以及促进校内和校际合作的工具方面的良好记录之上;它还支持NSF代表不足的机构和那些在刺激竞争性研究实验计划（EPSCoR）计划中确定的州的机构所做的努力，以升级基础设施并加强研究和非研究活动。这些讲习班涉及升级园区基础设施和高带宽（1、10、40、100 Gb/s）外部连接的技术、组织和行政方面。老虎小组的访问将包括就技术实施以及网络管理员和首席信息官一级的行政问题提供专家咨询。 它将根据项目的调查结果编写一本最佳做法手册。该项目扩大了能够参与校园网络基础设施项目的校园数量，如极端科学和工程发现环境（XSEDE）和校园网络基础设施-网络基础设施和工程（CC-NIE）奖合作，并使用标准通信机制（包括Internet 2的网站）广泛传播项目成果。这将产生广泛的影响，从分析解决方案的障碍和需求，在校园网络基础设施，并有利于非研究密集型校园，否则不会参与，包括远程教学。

This two-year project enhances campus network infrastructure and external connectivity of colleges and universities having notable research projects, even though the institution may not be primarily research-focused. It offers workshops focused on campus infrastructures and external connectivity to support research and teaching, and "Tiger Team" campus visits to assist with technical implementation. It builds upon Internet2's track record in campus infrastructure enhancement, campus-focused network performance workshops, and tools to foster intra- and inter-campus collaboration; it also supports NSF efforts on behalf of under-represented institutions and those in states identified in the Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program, to upgrade infrastructures and enhance research and non-research activities. The workshops cover technical, organizational, and administrative aspects of upgraded campus infrastructure and high-bandwidth (1, 10, 40, 100 Gb/s) external connectivity. The Tiger Team visits will include expert advice on technical implementation, and Network Administrator and CIO-level administrative issues. It will result in a Best Practices manual informed by the project's findings. The project broadens the volume of campuses capable of participating in campus cyberinfrastructure-based projects, such as the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) and Campus Cyberinfrastructure-Network Infrastructure and Engineering (CC-NIE) award collaboration, and uses standard communications mechanisms (including Internet2's website) to broadly disseminate project findings. This will have a broad impact from analysis of solutions to barriers and needs in campus cyberinfrastructure, and the benefit non-research-intensive campuses that would not participate otherwise, including remote instruction.
