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

该项目通过将每秒10千兆的高数据速率连接和科学DMZ连接扩展到校园的战略位置，从而导致弗吉尼亚理工大学校园网络的重大扩展和升级。新的网络连接使大数据概念融入课堂；支持需要转移大型数据集的资助研究；减少对独立的、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Torgersen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集成，实现大规模协作研究和计算和数据资源共享。该大学网络的扩展创建了一个校园研究网络，为布莱克斯堡弗吉尼亚理工大学校园内八栋建筑的教室和实验室提供了多个每秒10千兆比特的端口。扩展是通过部署48端口每秒10千兆的以太网交换机来完成的。每个交换机都有每秒10或40千兆比特的上行链路。核心汇聚路由器通过多链路冗余连接到园区100gb / s骨干网。该网络提供了端到端网络连接至少十倍的增长，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持续的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.
