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成就卓著的学者教师领导的师生研究。在越来越多涉及大量共享数据的项目背景下，当这种传输与其他校园网流量竞争并通过校园防火墙时，当前的本地网络基础设施限制就出现了。该项目创建了一个为高性能科学应用优化的局域网，一个科学DMZ，它的架构将特别关注识别和共享可复制的技术，同时确保机构信息安全需求不会受到损害。本地数据传输节点的增加，加上本地网络容量的增加，提高了富兰克林马歇尔公司与世界各地大学研究人员交换数据的能力。该项目扩展了端到端绩效监控，提高了机构间数据交换能力，并通过与宾夕法尼亚州范围内的教育和研究计算网络（KINBER）合作，加强了对教师当前和未来的研究支持。网络基础设施的改进还使目前由于基础设施的限制而无法评估的场外高性能计算解决方案的新实验成为可能。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准备。Franklin &amp； Marshall计划与类似规模的机构分享这个项目的结果，以支持他们的教师和本科生研究人员。

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.
