CC*DNI Networking Infrastructure: Research and Innovation Network for Portland State University

生物、物理、地球和环境科学的现代研究依赖于计算方法，这些方法需要在研究机构内部和之间进行高速数据传输。该奖项为支持大数据项目所需的波特兰州立大学(PSU)网络基础设施提供关键升级。PSU致力于开展尖端科学研究，并通过路易斯·斯托克斯少数群体参与联盟、麦克奈尔学者计划和NIH的BUILD赠款等项目，为STEM学科中的少数群体和代表性不足群体提供研究机会。这些项目的学生被直接安排到活跃的研究实验室。该项目为研究人员提供了利用尖端网络技术进行数据驱动研究的机会，并加强了PSU进行的多样化研究组合。该奖项实施了PSU校园研究和创新网络(RAIN)基础设施，并创建了科学非军事区。这些升级消除了当前的瓶颈，提供了支持未来升级到40 Gbps和100 Gbps所需的架构，并提供了支持动态数据工作流的软件定义网络(SDN)功能。RAIN在与俄勒冈健康科学大学和俄勒冈州立大学研究小组共享的科学研究和教学大楼、克雷默大厅、工程大楼和协作生命科学大楼的研究设施之间提供高带宽网络。科学非军事区提供了一条通往俄勒冈州GigaPop和Internet2的无摩擦路径，并允许更广泛地使用Shibboleth来支持园区桥接努力，以改善PSU研究人员及其合作者之间的资源共享。

Modern research in biological, physical, earth, and environmental sciences is dependent on computational methodologies that require high-speed data transfer within and between research institutions. This award provides critical upgrades to the Portland State University (PSU) network infrastructure required to support big-data projects. PSU is committed to conducting cutting-edge scientific research and to offering research opportunities for minorities and underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines through programs such as the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, the McNair Scholars Program, and a BUILD grant from the NIH. Students from these programs are placed directly into active research labs. This project provides researchers opportunities to conduct data-driven research with cutting edge network technology and strengthens the diverse portfolio of research conducted at PSU.This award implements the PSU campus Research And Innovation Network (RAIN) infrastructure and the creation of a Science DMZ. These upgrades eliminate current bottlenecks, provide the architecture required to support future upgrades to 40Gbps and 100Gbps, and provide Software Defined Networking (SDN) capability to support dynamic data workflows. RAIN provides high bandwidth networking between research facilities in the Science Research and Teaching Building, Cramer Hall, Engineering Building, and the Collaborative Life Sciences Building shared with Oregon Health Sciences University and Oregon State University research groups. The Science DMZ provides a friction-free path to Oregon GigaPop and Internet2, as well as allowing broader use of Shibboleth to support campus-bridging efforts to improve resource sharing between researchers at PSU and their collaborators.
