CC* Networking Infrastructure: Claflin Research Network

该奖项通过一个名为“克拉夫林研究网络”的协调信息技术扩展计划，支持克拉夫林大学的研究能力。克拉夫林大学正在建设一个10Gbps的科学DMZ，通过重新设计的校园边界来优先处理科学数据流，以支持大数据研究项目。这一新组件使非常大的数据集能够在无摩擦的路径上远距离传输。克莱夫林的合作者包括南卡罗来纳医科大学(MUSC)、克莱姆森大学和许多国内机构以及几个国际机构。该项目极大地提高了Claflin在全球各地分散机构的研究合作者之间共享数据的能力。该项目将为Claflin提供更具竞争力的能力，并使Claflin成为创新生态系统中更强大的研究合作伙伴。此外，该项目为克莱夫林的本科生和研究生研究人员提供了更大的研究和合作机会，使他们能够访问我们研究所目前无法获得的数据和技术。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports Claflin University's research capabilities through a coordinated information technology expansion plan called the "Claflin Research Network". Claflin University is building a 10Gbps Science DMZ supporting Big Data research projects through a re-designed campus border prioritizing science data flows. This new component enables the transfer of very large datasets over long distances in a friction-free path. Claflin's collaborators include the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Clemson University, and many domestic institutions as well as several international institutions. This project greatly increases Claflin's ability to share data between research collaborators in geographically dispersed institutions around the world.This project will provide Claflin with the ability to be more competitive and makes Claflin a stronger research partner with the innovation ecosystem. In addition, this project allows for greater research and collaboration possibilities for Claflin's undergraduate and graduate student researchers giving them access to data and technology not currently available at our institution.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
