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

富兰克林和马歇尔学院的科学教育优先考虑由成就卓著的学者教师领导的师生研究。在越来越多地涉及大量共享数据的项目中接受这一角色时，当此类传输与其他园区网络流量竞争并通过园区防火墙时，现有的本地网络基础设施限制就会出现。该项目创建了一个针对高性能科学应用而优化的局域网--科学非军事区，在设计时将特别注意确定和分享可复制的技术，同时确保机构信息安全要求不会受到损害。该项目增加了一个本地数据传输节点，并增加了本地网络容量，提高了Franklin&amp；Matt与世界各地大学的研究人员交换数据的能力。该项目通过与宾夕法尼亚州范围的教育和研究计算网络(KINBER)的合作，扩展了端到端的绩效监控，提高了机构间的数据交换能力，并加强了对教员当前和未来的研究支持。网络基础设施的改进还允许对非现场高性能计算解决方案进行新的试验，这些解决方案目前由于基础设施限制而无法进行评估。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。富兰克林和马歇尔计划与规模相当的机构分享该项目的成果，以支持他们的教职员工和本科生研究人员。

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.
