CC*DNI Networking Infrastructure: Enabling International Data Intensive Scientific Collaboration for Vanderbilt Researchers

该项目显著改善了范德比尔特大学的外部网络链接，促进和实现了各种学科的国家研究项目。例如，范德比尔特大学为位于瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心的大型强子对撞机上运行的紧凑型介子螺杆管实验（CMS）提供了一个计算站点，该资源被全球合作者使用。医学中心的生物化学家广泛使用远程网络访问机器人和阿贡国家实验室的先进光子源和劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室的先进光源的光束线，并将所得的晶体学数据下载到范德比尔特的磁盘上。范德比尔特电视新闻档案项目定期将其存档的网络新闻节目的数字副本上传到华盛顿特区的国会图书馆，并使其可供大型研究团体使用。在这个项目中，范德比尔特获得了必要的硬件，以升级范德比尔特校园和亚特兰大南部十字路口存在点之间的外部研究和教育网络连接到每秒100千兆比特。范德比尔特大学也在更换外围研究路由器，并升级位于它与科学非军事区和校园研究网络其他部分之间的研究路由器。

This project significantly improves the Vanderbilt University external network link, which is fostering and enabling national research programs in a wide variety of disciplines. For example, Vanderbilt hosts a computing site for the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment (CMS) running at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and this resource is used by global collaborators. Biochemists in the medical center make extensive use of remote network access to robots and beamlines at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Lab and the Advance Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, and download the resulting crystallography data to disk at Vanderbilt. The Vanderbilt Television News Archive project routinely uploads digital copies of network news programs that it has archived to the Library of Congress in Washington DC and makes them available to a large research community. In this project Vanderbilt acquires the hardware necessary to upgrade the Vanderbilt external research and education network connection between the campus and Southern Crossroads point of presence in Atlanta to 100 gigabits per second. Vanderbilt is also replacing the perimeter research router, and upgrading the research router that sits between it and the Science DMZ and the rest of the campus research network.
