Archbold Biological Station in south central Florida is awarded a grant to enhance its computer network to expand data integration, enhance research collaboration, and improve student training. Archbold is an independent research, education, and conservation organization with a 73-year history of long-term ecological research. A multimedia server with Adobe Creative Cloud will improve image archiving and cataloguing to enable searches of Archbold's impressive archive of images and videos, so they can be accessible to researchers, educators, conservationists, and the public. Archbold maintains a database for seamless data management and online data access; a new server will speed up access to searchable environmental and research data, providing growing room for inevitable future demands on data storage. A new Virtual Private Network will allow secure offsite access to the network for remote users such as research collaborators and students, and for staff when traveling or working from home. A large archive server will house static media like orthophotos in a repository. Finally the Station will move to an enhanced disk-based backup to increase the efficiency of backups and improve security and disaster recovery. The network enhancements will enhance Archbold's ability to work collaboratively among staff science teams and outside researchers and students, enabling new synthesis and fermenting new ideas. The enhancements will further interactions with scientists at more than 50 universities and research institutions currently working with Archbold, including important research networks that Archbold is a member of such as the Global Lakes Ecological Observatory Network GLEON and the newly-formed USDA Long-Term Agro-ecosystem Research Network. Students being trained at Archbold, mostly graduates from universities around North America in the Station's post-baccalaureate program, will integrate more closely into home institutions and with large science teams. Research collaborations meeting at the Station's conference facilities will experience better support to enable science interactions. Archbold's extensive education, outreach, and conservation programs will benefit directly from the enhanced infrastructure. Education programs disseminate Archbold science directly to the public, involving thousands of students annually (K-Gray) in the process of science. Improved access to collections of videos and imagery will be vital to the many creative teams working with Archbold to enhance science communication. This will also help build the programs (Arts-Science Alliance) that attract artists and photographers. Public visitors to the Station's Learning Center learn about on-site research via high quality interpretive signage and many public events. The award will enhance the web site providing a richer focus on information and education materials. Overall this award to improve IT capacity will have wide-ranging impact on Archbold's substantial education, outreach, and conservation programs.

佛罗里达州中南部的Archbold生物站获得了赠款，以增强其计算机网络，以扩大数据集成，增强研究合作并改善学生培训。 Archbold是一个独立的研究，教育和保护组织，拥有长期生态学的73年历史。 具有Adobe Creative Cloud的多媒体服务器将改善图像归档和编目，以搜索Archbold令人印象深刻的图像和视频档案，因此研究人员，教育者，保护主义者和公众可以访问它们。 Archbold维护一个用于无缝数据管理和在线数据访问的数据库；新服务器将加快访问可搜索的环境和研究数据的访问，为数据存储的未来不可避免的未来需求提供增长的空间。 一个新的虚拟专用网络将为远程用户（例如研究合作者和学生）以及在家中旅行或在家工作时的远程用户的安全访问网络的安全访问。大型档案服务器将在存储库中容纳像Orthophotos这样的静态媒体。最后，该电台将转移到基于磁盘的备份中，以提高备份的效率并提高安全性和灾难恢复。 该网络增强功能将增强Archbold在员工科学团队以及外部研究人员和学生之间进行协作的能力，从而实现新的综合和发酵新想法。这些增强功能将与目前与Archbold合作的50多家大学和研究机构的科学家进行进一步的互动，包括Archbold的重要研究网络，例如全球湖泊生态观测网络Gleon和新成立的USDA长期农业生态系统研究网络。 在Archbold接受培训的学生，大多数来自北美大学的大学后大学的毕业生，将更加紧密地融入家庭机构，并与大型科学团队集成在一起。该电台会议设施的研究合作会议将获得更好的支持，以实现科学互动。 Archbold的广泛教育，外展和保护计划将直接从增强的基础设施中受益。教育计划将Archbold Science直接传播给公众，每年在科学过程中涉及成千上万的学生（K-Gray）。改善视频和图像收藏的访问量对于与Archbold合作以增强科学沟通的许多创意团队至关重要。 这还将有助于建立吸引艺术家和摄影师的节目（艺术科学联盟）。该车站学习中心的公共访客通过高质量的解释标牌和许多公共活动来了解现场研究。该奖项将增强网站，从而更加专注于信息和教育材料。总体而言，提高IT能力的奖项将对Archbold的实质性教育，外展和保护计划产生广泛的影响。 有关Archbold的更多信息，请访问该网站http://www.archbold-station.org。
