CC* Networking Infrastructure: Improving Science Data Flows with Advanced Networking and Cyberinfrastructure at Manhattan College

该项目重新构建了曼哈顿学院的校园网络，以推动、实现和推进跨多个学科的科学数据流和发现，包括工程、数学、化学和社会学，利用先进的网络基础设施消除教师、研究人员和学生目前在科学数据流方面遇到的研究和STEM教育障碍。校园网重新架构，通过构建校园范围的ipv6原生科学DMZ来优化科学数据流，实现跨校园访问科学数据的无摩擦路径。这个科学DMZ利用公认的研究网络安全最佳实践，平衡网络性能和安全性，并建立数据传输节点，以促进曼哈顿学院研究人员和他们的合作者之间通过Globus进行数据传输。它通过NYSERNet将学院连接到全州的外部研究和教育（R&amp；E）网络，并通过Internet2将学院连接到全国，并使用perfSONAR监控网络性能以调整科学DMZ以确保最佳性能。为科学数据流而设计和调整的重新架构的网络，推动并推动了研究、科学发现和教育。此外，该项目是未来网络基础设施改进的基础，包括高性能计算和存储基础设施，以进一步提高学院研究人员和学生的研发能力。该网络将支持和发展这些活动，以推进研究和STEM教育项目，教育学生，促进新的科学发现，为公共政策提供信息，促进机构伙伴关系，并提供更好的STEM教育，培养下一代科学家和工程师，使他们能够应对未来世界的复杂挑战。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This project re-architects the campus network at Manhattan College to drive, enable, and advance scientific data flows and discovery across multiple disciplines, including engineering, mathematics, chemistry, and sociology utilizing advanced cyberinfrastructure to eliminate barriers to research and STEM education currently encountered by faculty, researchers, and students in respect to the flow of scientific data. The campus network is rearchitected to optimize scientific data flows via the construction of a campus-wide IPv6-native Science DMZ, enabling frictionless paths for science data accessible across campus. This Science DMZ utilizes recognized best practices for research cybersecurity, balancing network performance and security, and establishes data transfer nodes to facilitate data transfers between Manhattan College researchers and their collaborators via Globus. It connects the College to external research and education (R&E) networks statewide via NYSERNet and nationally through Internet2, and monitors network performance using perfSONAR to tune the Science DMZ to ensure optimal performance. The re-architected network, designed and tuned for scientific data flows, advances and drives research, scientific discovery, and education. Additionally, this project is the foundation for future cyberinfrastructure improvements, including high performance computing and storage infrastructures to further R&E capabilities of the College’s researchers and students. This network will support and grow these activities to advance research and STEM education programs that educate students, contribute to new scientific discoveries, inform public policy, facilitate institutional partnerships, and provide a better STEM education to train the next generation of scientists and engineers to be capable of tackling complex challenges in the world ahead.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.
