This project funds Shepherd University to deploy a new network cyberinfrastructure dedicated to data-driven research. It will greatly improve access to national shared collaborative resources for science and engineering research and education. The network cyberinfrastructure will provision a connection to national research and educational networks. The network cyberinfrastructure also provisions a Science DMZ, which is a network component that enables high volume data transfers along with high security to support advanced data intensive research. The new cyberinfrastructure will become an integral component of a larger upgrade effort and is helping to define broader objectives for transforming the old low-throughput network architecture into a modern high-performance, resilient resource. The deployment positively impacts the local campus community and the state of West Virginia.This project adds 10 Gbps to the existing campus 1 Gbps bandwidth, deploys modern Layer 3 and Layer 2 network architecture, instruments three STEM buildings, provisions a last-mile connection to regional optical networks and provides full integration with the Internet2 national backbone. The new network cyberinfrastructure will increase the ability of Shepherd University to attract, hire, and retain faculty whose research is data intensive and will improve the attractiveness of the university to students in technology and the data dependent fields.This award by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

该项目资助谢泼德大学部署一个新的网络网络基础设施，致力于数据驱动的研究。 它将极大地改善对科学和工程研究与教育的国家共享合作资源的获取。 网络信息基础设施将提供与国家研究和教育网络的连接。 网络网络基础设施还提供了一个科学DMZ，这是一个网络组件，可以实现高容量数据传输沿着高安全性，以支持先进的数据密集型研究。 新的网络基础设施将成为更大规模升级工作的一个组成部分，并有助于确定更广泛的目标，将旧的低吞吐量网络架构转变为现代化的高性能、弹性资源。该项目在现有校园1 Gbps带宽的基础上增加了10 Gbps，部署了现代化的第3层和第2层网络架构，为三座STEM建筑提供了仪表，提供了与区域光纤网络的最后一英里连接，并提供了与Internet 2国家骨干网的全面集成。 新的网络网络基础设施将提高谢泼德大学吸引，雇用，并保留其研究是数据密集型的教师，并将提高大学对技术和数据依赖领域学生的吸引力。高级网络基础设施办公室的这一奖项由刺激竞争研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同支持。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。
