The Texas Medical Center (TMC) in Houston, Texas, is home to a 15-year networking association called the Collaborative Healthcare Alliance for Technology (CHAT), comprised of 11 research and clinically focused organizations and over 70,000 researchers, educators, students and staff. CHAT is led and operated by the founding member, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), in support of the community's explosive research-centric, network-intensive needs. This project replaces aging infrastructure with state-of-the-art equipment, while simplifying the design, and simultaneously enabling  frictionless, high-speed data transfers by creating a first-ever Science DMZ, directly benefiting research labs such as: - Baylor's Human Genome Sequencing Center, led by Dr. Richard Gibbs, which has transferred hundreds of terabytes of genomic data in the past year, most notably as a part of the CHARGE project; - the Center for Genome Architecture producing and sharing some 50 Tbytes of new sequenced data each year; and - the Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research engaged in the production and collaborative processing of tens of terabytes of microbial genomic data.While updating the underlying infrastructure, the project also upgrades the connection between CHAT and its nearest upstream provider, the Southeast Texas GigaPoP (SETG), from 10 to 100 Gbps, matching the recently upgraded 100Gbps connection between SETG and LEARN, the Texas-wide research and education network backbone that ties the R&E community to Internet2. By streamlining research data transfers, the investigators will empower researchers at BCM and other CHAT partners to hasten the eradication of today's greatest health challenges.

德克萨斯州休斯敦的德克萨斯医疗中心(TMC)是一个名为协作医疗技术联盟(CHAT)的15年网络协会的所在地，该协会由11个专注于研究和临床的组织和70,000多名研究人员、教育工作者、学生和工作人员组成。Chat由创始成员贝勒医学院(BCM)领导和运营，以支持社区爆炸性的以研究为中心的、网络密集型需求。该项目用最先进的设备取代老化的基础设施，同时简化设计，同时通过创建有史以来第一个科学非军事区，实现无摩擦、高速的数据传输，直接受益于以下研究实验室：-由理查德·吉布斯博士领导的贝勒人类基因组测序中心，该中心在过去一年中传输了数百TB的基因组数据，最引人注目的是作为CHARGE项目的一部分；-基因组架构中心每年生产和共享约50 TB的新测序数据；在更新底层基础设施的同时，该项目还将Chat与距离其最近的上游供应商德克萨斯州东南部GigaPoP(SETG)之间的连接从10 Gbps升级到100 Gbps，与最近升级的SETG和Learn之间100Gbps的连接相匹配，后者是德克萨斯州范围内的研究和教育网络主干，将R&amp；E社区连接到Internet2。通过简化研究数据传输，调查人员将使BCM的研究人员和其他聊天伙伴能够加快消除当今最大的健康挑战。
