Duquesne University is implementing a dedicated research network and Science DMZ for the facilitation of science-driven research, education and collaboration. A vibrant and growing Duquesne research community conducts leading edge research and scientific experimentation in a broad range of science domains. The campus network is unable to support the data-intensive workflows generated by the research community. While science drivers and research workflows vary, there is a common need for fast and unrestricted data movement to internal and external research computing resources. The research-focused Science DMZ cyberinfrastructure addresses the limitations of the general purpose network by establishing a dedicated, scalable and secure network that is optimized for data-intensive science workflows. The project objective is to establish a dedicated 120Gbps Science DMZ network to support the Duquesne research community. A critical element of the Science DMZ is a Data Transfer Node (DTN). The DTN will provide University researchers with a secure, highly-available, high-performance data exchange point to facilitate the secure and efficient sharing of research data with collaborating institutions and national computational research facilities. The Science DMZ will connect to a dedicated 10Gbps uplink to the Pennsylvania-wide education and research computing network (KINBER). The new friction-free cyberinfrastructure not only accelerates large scale data movement, it facilitates new and more efficient workflows resulting in the acceleration and advancement of scientific discovery. The research network improves opportunities to train the next generation of research scientists and to inspire underrepresented groups to participate in scientific research activities.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.

迪克讷大学正在实施一个专门的研究网络和科学DMZ，以促进科学驱动的研究，教育和合作。一个充满活力和不断发展的迪克讷研究社区在广泛的科学领域进行前沿研究和科学实验。校园网络无法支持研究界产生的数据密集型工作流程。虽然科学驱动因素和研究工作流程各不相同，但人们普遍需要快速且不受限制地将数据移动到内部和外部研究计算资源。以研究为重点的科学DMZ网络基础设施通过建立专用的、可扩展的和安全的网络来解决通用网络的局限性，该网络针对数据密集型科学工作流程进行了优化。 该项目的目标是建立一个专用的120 Gbps科学DMZ网络，以支持迪克讷研究社区。科学DMZ的一个关键元素是数据传输节点（DTN）。DTN将为大学研究人员提供一个安全，高可用性，高性能的数据交换点，以促进与合作机构和国家计算研究设施安全，高效地共享研究数据。科学DMZ将连接到宾夕法尼亚州教育和研究计算网络（KINBER）的专用10Gbps上行链路。新的无摩擦网络基础设施不仅加速了大规模数据移动，还促进了新的更高效的工作流程，从而加速和推进科学发现。该研究网络改善了培养下一代研究科学家的机会，并激励代表性不足的群体参与科学研究活动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
