The University of Texas at Arlington is a comprehensive research institution serving over 33,000 students in the heart of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex. Many scientific research projects carried out at the university require high bandwidth network connections. While regional and national networks provide such connections to the Metroplex, the campus infrastructure cannot currently support these higher rates. Modern networking technologies like Science DMZ's and Software Defined Networks also require changes to the core campus network design. This project improves and modernizes the UT-Arlington network infrastructure by deploying high performance routing equipment in order to support research on the university campus at the Exabyte scale.Scientists at UT-Arlington are studying data from the Large Hadron Collider to measure the properties of the newly discovered Higgs boson, and to search for new laws of physics. Researchers are studying data to advance the fields of genomics and bioinformatics, and to prepare a foundation for developing individualized approaches to medicine and the treatment of illnesses. Research in earth plate movements, brain research, and mathematical modeling of bioengineering, global environments, data mining and chemical structures provide crucial quantitative assessments on many issues ranging from local to global environmental concerns, healthcare, and advance our scientific understanding and engineering expertise. Water management research is crucial to environment stewardship in the Southwest region. In supporting these and other research areas, improved campus networking provides benefit to the region, advances scientific knowledge, and helps train the diverse student population at UT-Arlington.

德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校是一所综合性的研究机构，为达拉斯-英尺中心的33，000多名学生提供服务。沃思大都会区在大学进行的许多科研项目需要高带宽的网络连接。虽然区域和国家网络提供这种连接到大都会，校园基础设施目前无法支持这些更高的速率。科学DMZ和软件定义网络等现代网络技术也要求更改核心园区网络设计。该项目通过部署高性能路由设备来改进和现代化UT-阿灵顿的网络基础设施，以支持大学校园内艾字节规模的研究。UT-阿灵顿的科学家们正在研究来自大型强子对撞机的数据，以测量新发现的希格斯玻色子的属性，并寻找新的物理定律。研究人员正在研究数据，以推进基因组学和生物信息学领域的发展，并为开发个性化的医学和疾病治疗方法奠定基础。在地球板块运动，大脑研究，生物工程，全球环境，数据挖掘和化学结构的数学建模的研究提供了从本地到全球环境问题，医疗保健等许多问题的关键定量评估，并推进我们的科学理解和工程专业知识。水资源管理研究对西南地区的环境管理至关重要。在支持这些和其他研究领域，改善校园网络提供了有益的区域，推进科学知识，并有助于培养在UT-阿灵顿多样化的学生群体。
