CC*DNI Marshall University Data Driven Networking Infrastructure for the Campus and Researcher

马歇尔大学正在改进和扩展其校园研究网络，通过实施以下措施在研究设施之间提供高性能的端到端网络连接：a）科学DMZ，提供具有针对科学应用优化的配置和策略的专用网络。B）专用数据传输节点，提供高速存储服务器，该服务器具有足够的数据存储，可在科学DMZ上托管大型数据集和10 G传输速率，以及c）高性能网络改进，支持研究设施、实验室和校园核心网络/数据中心之间的10-40 Gb/s连接。端到端网络性能测量基于perfSONAR框架，可持续监控性能和延迟。改进后的网络基础设施通过增强从研究人员所在地的端点到主要校园研究设施的数据传输，为高级数据密集型科学研究提供支持，这些研究设施包括Robert C Byrd生物技术科学中心、基因组学&生物信息学核心设施（GABC）、亚瑟韦斯伯格家庭应用工程综合体、可视化实验室、和大绿色XSEDE兼容的高性能计算集群在大学数据中心和备份设施。新的网络功能，使内部更快的数据传输，校园连接，并消除外部连接的瓶颈，以促进与其他机构通过Internet 2国家网络的合作。该项目与该机构的网络基础设施计划保持一致，以实现创建可扩展网络设计的目标，支持当前和未来的科学要求，以推进科学研究。

Marshall University is improving and expanding its campus research network to offer high-performance end-to-end network connectivity between research facilities by implementing: a) Science DMZ to provide a dedicated network with configuration and policies optimized for scientific applications. b) a dedicated data transfer node to offer a high-speed storage server with adequate data store to host large data sets and 10G transfer rate on the Science DMZ and c) high performance network improvement supporting 10-40 Gb/s connectivity between research facilities, laboratories and the campus core network/data center. The end-to-end network performance measurement is based on the perfSONAR framework allowing constant monitoring of performance and latency. The improved network infrastructures provides support to advanced data-intensive scientific research by enhancing data transfer from the end points at the researcher locations to the main campus research facilities including the Robert C Byrd Biotechnology Science Center, Genomics & Bioinformatics Core Facility (GABC), Arthur Weisberg Family Applied Engineering Complex, Visualization Lab, and Big Green XSEDE-compatible High Performance Computing cluster in University data center and the backup facility.The new network capabilities enable faster data transfer for intra-campus connectivity and remove the bottleneck in external connectivity to foster collaboration with other institutions over the Internet2 national network. The project aligns with the institution's cyberinfrastructure plan in achieving the goal of creating a scalable network design that supports current and future science requirements to advance scientific research.
