Cyberinfrastructure runs the gamut - from computing, networks, data stores, instruments, observatories, and sensors, to software and application codes - and promises to enable research at unprecedented scales, complexity, resolution, and accuracy. However, it is the research community that must make sense of all the data being amassed, so the SAGEnext (Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment) framework is an innovative user-centered platform that connects people to their data and colleagues, locally and remotely, via tiled display walls, creating a portal, or wide-aperture "digital lens," with which to view their data and one another. It enables Cyber-Mashups, or the ability to juxtapose and integrate information from multiple sources in a variety of resolutions, as easily as the Web makes access to lower-resolution images today. SAGEnext expands on a vibrant partnership among national and international universities, supercomputer centers, government laboratories and industry; 100 institutions worldwide use the current version of SAGE. For computational scientists, from such diverse fields as biology, earth science, genomics, or physics, SAGEnext will transform the way they manage the scale and complexity of their data. For computer scientists, SAGEnext is a platform for conducting research in human-computer interaction, cloud computing, and advanced networking. SAGEnext capabilities, integrating visualization application codes, cloud documents, stereo 3D, and new user-interaction paradigms, is unprecedented and heretofore not available, and will have a transformative effect on data exploration and collaboration, making cyberinfrastructure more accessible to end users, in both the laboratory and in the classroom. SAGEnext, integrated with advanced cyberinfrastructure tools, will transform the way today's scientists and future scientists manage the scale and complexity of their data, enabling them to more rapidly address problems of national priority - such as global climate change or homeland security - which benefits all mankind. These same tools can better communicate scientific concepts to public policy and government officials, and via museum exhibitions, to the general public.

网络基础设施涵盖从计算、网络、数据存储、仪器、天文台和传感器到软件和应用程序代码的所有领域，并有望实现前所未有的规模、复杂性、分辨率和准确性的研究。然而，研究社区必须理解所积累的所有数据，因此 SAGEnext（可扩展自适应图形环境）框架是一个以用户为中心的创新平台，它通过平铺显示墙将人们与其数据和同事在本地和远程连接起来，创建一个门户或大光圈“数字镜头”，用于查看他们的数据和彼此的数据。它支持网络混搭，即以各种分辨率并置和集成来自多个来源的信息的能力，就像今天通过网络访问较低分辨率的图像一样容易。 SAGEnext 扩大国内和国际大学、超级计算机中心、政府实验室和行业之间的充满活力的合作伙伴关系；全球有 100 家机构使用当前版本的 SAGE。对于生物学、地球科学、基因组学或物理学等不同领域的计算科学家来说，SAGEnext 将改变他们管理数据规模和复杂性的方式。对于计算机科学家来说，SAGEnext 是一个进行人机交互、云计算和高级网络研究的平台。 SAGEnext 功能集成了可视化应用程序代码、云文档、立体 3D 和新的用户交互范例，这是前所未有的，也是迄今为止无法实现的，并将对数据探索和协作产生变革性影响，使最终用户在实验室和课堂上更容易使用网络基础设施。 SAGEnext 与先进的网络基础设施工具相结合，将改变当今科学家和未来科学家管理数据规模和复杂性的方式，使他们能够更快地解决国家优先问题，例如全球气候变化或国土安全，从而造福全人类。这些相同的工具可以更好地向公共政策和政府官员传达科学概念，并通过博物馆展览向公众传达科学概念。
