CC*DNI Campus Design: Building a State-Of-The-Art Research Network at Franklin and Marshall College

富兰克林马歇尔学院的科学教育优先考虑由高度成就的兼职教师领导的学生教师研究。在越来越多地涉及大量共享数据的项目中，当这种传输与其他校园网络流量竞争并通过校园防火墙时，就会出现当前本地网络基础设施的局限性。该项目创建了一个为高性能科学应用程序优化的局域网，即科学DMZ，其架构将特别关注识别和共享可复制技术，同时确保机构信息安全要求不受影响。本地数据传输节点的增加，结合本地网络容量的增加，提高了富兰克林马歇尔的能力，以交换数据与世界各地的大学的研究人员。该项目扩展了端到端的性能监控，提高机构间的数据交换能力，并通过与宾夕法尼亚州的教育和研究计算网络（KINBER）的合作，加强当前和未来的研究支持教师。网络基础设施的改进还使新的实验与场外高性能计算解决方案，目前无法评估，由于基础设施的限制。该项目为本科生在数据密集型领域的研究生工作和学习做好准备。富兰克林马歇尔计划与寻求支持其教师和本科生研究人员的类似规模的机构分享该项目的成果。

Science education at Franklin & Marshall College prioritizes student-faculty research led by highly accomplished scholar-teachers. In embracing that role within the context of projects that increasingly involve large amounts of shared data, present local network infrastructure limitations emerge when such transfers compete with other campus network traffic and pass through campus firewalls. This project creates a local area network optimized for high-performance scientific applications, a Science DMZ, which will be architected with particular attention paid to identifying and sharing replicable techniques, while ensuring institutional information security requirements are not compromised. The addition of a local data transfer node, combined with increased local network capacity, improves Franklin & Marshall's ability to exchange data with researchers at universities worldwide.This project expands end-to-end performance monitoring, improves inter-institutional data exchange capabilities, and strengthens current and future research support for faculty via collaboration with a Pennsylvania-wide education and research computing network (KINBER). The network infrastructure improvements also enable new experimentation with off-site high performance computing solutions that cannot presently be evaluated due to infrastructure constraints. This project prepares undergraduate students for postgraduate work and study in data-intensive fields. Franklin & Marshall plans to share the results of the project with similar-sized institutions seeking to support their faculty and undergraduate researchers.
