CC*DNI Networking Infrastructure: Montana State University's Bridger-A Science-Driven Networking Cyberinfrastructure

专门的研究网络是数据密集型科学的重要基础。这些网络帮助研究人员共享数据，创造知识，交流科学发现。蒙大拿州立大学的这个项目以科学非军事区（DMZ）网络的形式在波兹曼校园内部署了一个专用的研究网络。增强功能包括：新的40 Gb/s核心;布里杰为科学研究创建了一条专用的“数据通道”，使蒙大拿州NSF资助的科学驱动者能够更高效地与全国社区共享数据。该网络支持NSF在主要研究仪器，全州EPSCOR环境网络以及生物学，化学和物理学项目中的先前投资。该项目更广泛的影响集中在数据科学课程和正式的现有NSF资助的外展计划中创建的数据的重用，包括蒙大拿女孩STEM协作和纳米级非正式科学教育网络。布里杰项目展示了一个易于复制的解决方案，其他州立大学可以复制，以解决数据密集型科学对校园网络的深刻影响。

Dedicated research networks form the crucial foundations for data-intensive science. These networks help researchers share data, create knowledge, and communicate scientific discoveries. This project from Montana State University deploys a dedicated research network in the form of a science demilitarized zone (DMZ) network across the Bozeman campus. The enhancements include: a new 40Gb/s core; 10 Gb/s connections to data-intensive scientific instruments; and 1Gb/s connections to individual big data labs and workstations.Bridger creates a dedicated "data lane" for scientific research, allowing more efficient and effective data sharing to the national community for NSF-funded science drivers at Montana State. This network supports prior investments made by NSF in a major research instrument, a statewide EPSCOR environmental network, and projects in biology, chemistry, and physics. The project's broader impact is focused on the reuse of created data in data science curricula and formal existing NSF-funded outreach programs, including Montana Girls STEM Collaborative and the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network. The Bridger project demonstrates an easily replicated solution that other state universities may copy to address the profound impact that data-intensive science is having on campus networks.
