Connection of Schools to OARnet and NSFNET - Northwest State Community College

9412951布朗俄亥俄州立大学请求国家科学基金会支持西北州立社区学院与俄亥俄学术资源网络（OARnet）的连接，OARnet是服务于俄亥俄州的国家科学基金会中层网络。OARnet的主要目标是促进机构之间的合作项目和资源共享，包括那些州外的机构。OARnet将提供运营管理和信息服务，并将为学校提供每秒56000比特的连接到NSFNET，这是一个高速（每秒150 - 4500万比特）的国家骨干网。学校需要更大的功能和网络速度，以便能够访问超级计算机、图书馆，并进行文件传输，同时能够实现更可靠的邮件系统。学生和教师的研究将受益于这种联系。这也是学校探索创新教育资源的独特机会。

9412951 Brown Ohio State University requests support from NSF for the connection of Northwest State Community College to the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) which is the NSF mid-level network that serves the State of Ohio. A primary goal of OARnet is to facilitate collaborative projects and sharing of resources between institutions, including those outside the state. OARnet will provide operations management and information services and it will give the school a 56 thousand bit per second connection to the NSFNET, a high speed (1.5 - 45 million bits per second) National Backbone network. The school needs greater functionality and network speed to be able to access supercomputers, libraries, and make file transfers along with being able to implement a more reliable mail system. Students and faculty research will benefit from the link. This is also a unique opportunity for the schools to explore innovative educational resources.
