CC*DNI Network Infrastructure: Indiana University Regional Campus Network Infrastructure to Support Scientific Research and Education

印第安纳大学的地区校区每年招收超过30,000名学生，以满足为印第安纳州公民提供高等教育机会的需求，这些公民由于各种原因无法在印第安纳大学位于布鲁明顿和印第安纳波利斯的核心校区入学。这些学生通常是非传统的和/或第一代大学生。提供高质量科研和教育机会所需的资源集中在路易斯安那州的S、布鲁明顿和印第安纳波利斯的核心校区。需要高性能和高速的数据网络来支持大型数据集的传输，并为大学的每个地区校区访问国家科学资源。该项目改善了印第安纳大学S五个地区校区和一个中心在三个地区的校园网络基础设施，以支持尚未得到满足的研究需求：1)通过印第安纳大学的地区网络提供商i-Light，将大学地区校区与Internet2和其他国家研究网络的连接从1Gbps增加到10Gbps；2)将IuíS网络核心到印第安纳大学地区校区的连接速度提高到10Gbps；3)在五个较大的地区校区安装数据传输节点，确保科研人员在地区和国家研究网络之间畅通无阻地进行10Gbps的高性能数据传输。这些基础设施的改进极大地造福了印第安纳大学地区校区STEM专业的所有研究人员和学生。它们解决了物理、地质、化学、生物化学和生物学项目的直接研究需求，包括国家超导回旋实验室(NSCL)的工作。此外，由于数据传输速度缓慢，它们使未来的地区性研究项目成为可能，从而推动了科学的进步。

Indiana University's regional campuses enroll over 30,000 students each year, addressing the need to provide higher education opportunities to citizens of Indiana who for various reasons are unable to enroll at IU's core campuses in Bloomington and Indianapolis. These students are often non-traditional and/or first generation college students. The resources needed to provide high-quality scientific research and educational opportunities are concentrated at IUís Bloomington and Indianapolis core campuses. High-performance and high-speed data networks are required to support transfer of large data sets and access to national scientific resource for each of IU's regional campuses. This project improves the campus cyberinfrastructure at Indiana Universityís five regional campuses and one center in three areas to support unmet research needs: 1) it increases IU regional campusesí connection to Internet2 and other national research networks from 1Gbps to 10Gbps via Indiana's regional network provider, I-Light; 2) it increases the connection speed from IUís network core to the IU regional campuses to 10Gbps; and 3) the installed Data Transfer Nodes at the five larger regional campuses ensures unimpeded 10Gbps-capable high-performance data transfer for researchers across the regional and national research networks. These infrastructure improvements significantly benefit all researchers and students in STEM disciplines at Indiana University regional campuses. They address immediate research needs for projects in physics, geology, chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, including work at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). Further, they enable future regional research projects heretofore impossible due to slow data transfer rates, thereby forwarding the advancement of science.
