CC*DNI Networking Infrastructure: A Campus Research Network and Distributed Science DMZ

该项目通过将高数据速率每秒10千兆位连接和科学DMZ连接扩展到校园的战略位置，从而对弗吉尼亚理工大学校园网络进行了重大扩展和升级。新的网络连接可以将大数据概念纳入课堂;支持需要转移大型数据集的资助研究;并减少独立的好奇心驱动的研究的障碍。该网络加速了多个部门和多学科领域的研究人员的发现。纽曼图书馆和托格森大厅的数据亭为其他研究人员提供高数据速率连接。该网络与本地高性能计算和存储系统以及国家网络基础设施紧密结合，实现了大规模的协作研究以及计算和数据资源的共享。该大学网络的扩展旨在创建一个校园研究网络，为弗吉尼亚理工大学布莱克斯堡校区的八栋建筑物的教室和实验室提供多个每秒10千兆端口。扩展是通过部署48端口每秒10千兆位以太网交换机来完成的。这些交换机中的每一个都有每秒10或40千兆位的上行链路。核心聚合路由器连接到园区每秒100千兆位的主干网络，具有多个冗余链路。该网络在端到端网络连接方面提供了至少十倍的增长，使地方和国家计算和数据资源、研究实验室、仪器和选定教室之间的持续高数据速率连接无处不在。

This project leads to a significant expansion and upgrade of the Virginia Tech campus network by extending high-data rate 10-gigabit per second connections and Science DMZ connectivity to strategic locations on campus. The new network connections enable the incorporation of Big Data concepts in classes; support funded research requiring the transfer of large data sets; and reduce barriers for independent, curiosity-driven research. The network accelerates discovery for researchers in several departments and multidisciplinary areas. Data kiosks in the Newman Library and Torgersen Hall provide high data rate connectivity for other researchers. The network is tightly integrated with local high-performance computing and storage systems and national cyberinfrastructure, enabling large-scale collaborative research and sharing of computational and data resources.The expansion of the university's network to create a campus research network provides multiple 10-gigabit per second ports in classrooms and laboratories in eight buildings across the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg. The expansion is accomplished by deploying 48-port 10-gigabit per second Ethernet switches. Each of these switches has a 10- or 40-gigabit per second uplink. The core aggregation router connects to the campus 100-gigabit per second backbone network with multiple links for redundancy. The network provides at least a ten-fold increase in end-to-end network connectivity, making sustained high data rate connections ubiquitous between local and national computational and data resources, research laboratories, instruments, and selected classrooms.
