To drive innovation, improve research capabilities and productivity, enhance faculty competiveness, and foster remote collaborations of resources and people, the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT or Illinois Tech) is building a Science DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) ecosystem to provide access to a secured, high-throughput infrastructure for the IIT research community. The proposed Science DMZ bridges the needs of many diverse data-intensive research projects and address common issues and limitations with real-time data analysis that results from the current campus network. The overall goal for the Science DMZ is to deploy a scalable research network infrastructure with a minimum bandwidth of 10Gbps that can isolate and secure research network traffic from other segments of the campus network without impacting performance. This goal is buttressed by several broad objectives including increasing the bandwidth between the research data center and Internet2 exchange node; and connecting with other world-class universities and research center at throughput speeds sufficient for practical end-to-end research collaborations.The deployment of the Science DMZ has far-reaching broader impacts. For example, the Science DMZ makes it feasible for IIT researchers analyzing urban metropolitan transportation congestion relief, safety and capital investment to improve the efficiency of intersection utilization across the United States. The Institute of Food Safety and Health (IFSH) is working on a whole genome sequencing project that aims to create a global catalogue of bacteria-causing food poisoning. This advanced high performance infrastructure provides greater collaboration opportunities with Tier-1 research universities and by default, introduces greater opportunities for IIT students to get hands-on experience working with faculty on various research projects, thereby improving the quality of their STEM education. Collaborative activities are also planned with several of IIT's K-12 outreach initiatives including the Global Leaders Program, which seeks to increase access to STEM fields.

为了推动创新，提高研究能力和生产力，提高教师竞争力，促进资源和人员的远程协作，伊利诺伊理工学院（IIT或伊利诺伊理工学院）正在建立一个科学DMZ（非军事区）生态系统，为IIT研究社区提供安全，高通量的基础设施。拟议的科学DMZ桥接了许多不同的数据密集型研究项目的需求，并通过当前校园网络的实时数据分析解决了常见问题和局限性。科学DMZ的总体目标是部署一个可扩展的研究网络基础设施，其最低带宽为10 Gbps，可以隔离和保护研究网络流量与校园网络的其他部分，而不会影响性能。这一目标得到了几个广泛目标的支持，包括增加研究数据中心和Internet 2交换节点之间的带宽;以及以足以进行实际端到端研究合作的吞吐量速度与其他世界一流大学和研究中心连接。科学DMZ的部署具有深远的广泛影响。例如，科学DMZ使IIT研究人员能够分析城市交通拥堵缓解，安全和资本投资，以提高美国交叉路口的利用效率。食品安全与健康研究所（IFSH）正在进行一项全基因组测序项目，旨在创建一个全球细菌引起食物中毒的目录。这种先进的高性能基础设施为一级研究型大学提供了更大的合作机会，默认情况下，为IIT学生提供了更多机会与教师一起开展各种研究项目的实践经验，从而提高他们的STEM教育质量。还计划与IIT的K-12外展计划开展合作活动，包括全球领导者计划，该计划旨在增加进入STEM领域的机会。
