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

该项目通过将高数据速率10 Gb/秒连接和Science DMZ连接扩展到校园内的战略位置，从而显著扩展和升级了弗吉尼亚理工大学园区网络。新的网络连接使大数据概念能够融入课堂；支持需要转移大数据集的资助研究；并减少独立、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速数据连接。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集成，使大规模协作研究以及计算和数据资源共享成为可能。扩展该大学的网络以创建校园研究网络，在位于布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚理工大学校区的八栋建筑的教室和实验室提供多个10千兆位每秒的端口。通过部署48端口10 Gb/秒以太网交换机来完成扩展。这些交换机中的每台都有每秒10或40 Gb的上行链路。核心聚合路由器通过多条链路连接到园区每秒100 Gb的主干网络以实现冗余。该网络提供了至少十倍的端到端网络连接，使持续的高数据速率连接在地方和国家计算和数据资源、研究实验室、仪器和选定的教室之间无处不在。

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.
