The University of Wyoming is developing an environment providing researchers and students with access to local, regional, national, and international computational, networking, and data storage resources needed to transform scientific discovery and education. The university is developing a perimeter network named UW-DMZ (University of Wyoming DeMilitarized Zone) that contains and exposes the university's external facing services to the Internet. UW-DMZ enhances Big Computing and Big Data based research by providing infrastructure needed to leverage high performance, dynamic network services. Research is informed by a wide variety of data collected from field work and sensor networks, mined from databases, observed by lab experiments, or generated by simulations. The movement of data from their source to computational and visualization resources and then to the scientific world is critical. The university has good connectivity from the main computer center to the outside world, but currently researchers transfer data through a general purpose campus network. UW-DMZ creates a research optimized, devoted high speed network that is explicitly designed for Big Data applications and provides researchers access to existing wide area science services on campus.Class projects in upper division and graduate level networking classes help monitor, evaluate, and optimize UW-DMZ for different users and applications, thus providing students with deeper, enriching experiences. Through the university's significant research collaborations with Jackson State University on environmental hydrology, their students and faculty are trained in accessing and using computational and visualization resources and gain firsthand experience in how to facilitate scientific discovery through management and integration of Big Computing and Big Data.

怀俄明州大学正在开发一个环境，为研究人员和学生提供访问本地，区域，国家和国际计算，网络和数据存储资源，以改变科学发现和教育。该大学正在开发一个名为UW-DMZ（怀俄明州非军事区大学）的外围网络，该网络包含并向Internet公开该大学的外部服务。UW-DMZ通过提供利用高性能、动态网络服务所需的基础设施，增强了基于大计算和大数据的研究。研究通过从实地工作和传感器网络收集的各种数据，从数据库中挖掘，通过实验室实验观察或通过模拟生成。数据从其来源到计算和可视化资源，然后到科学世界的移动至关重要。该大学从主计算机中心到外部世界的连接良好，但目前研究人员通过通用校园网络传输数据。UW-DMZ创建了一个研究优化的专用高速网络，该网络专为大数据应用而设计，并为研究人员提供了对校园内现有广域科学服务的访问。在上师和研究生级别的网络课程中，课程项目有助于监控，评估和优化UW-DMZ，以适应不同的用户和应用，从而为学生提供更深入，丰富的体验。通过与杰克逊州立大学在环境水文学方面的重大研究合作，他们的学生和教师接受了访问和使用计算和可视化资源的培训，并获得了如何通过管理和整合大计算和大数据来促进科学发现的第一手经验。
