CC-NIE Networking Infrastructure: Upgrading the Campus Networks to Support Data Intensive Research at the University of Hawaii

夏威夷创新计划是一项大胆的计划，旨在将夏威夷大学(UH)的研究增加一倍，该计划将专注于天文学、地球和海洋科学以及农业和健康科学的研究优势。在该倡议的规划过程中，所有人都清楚地看到，要实现这一目标，将需要开发一个高度先进的网络基础设施(CI)框架，其中包括高性能计算、数据可视化、大数据分析、网络安全、大数据存储以及与全球科学家的实时合作。所有这些功能都必须通过高级网络来实现。UH在设计和实施研究和教育(R&A；E)网络方面非常成功，将整个夏威夷群岛的校园、研究设施、公立学校和图书馆与国家、国际和区域网络连接起来。最近的一系列NSF网络基础设施和NTIA BTOP奖现在为岛屿上、岛屿之间、大陆国家R&A；E网络以及澳大利亚和亚洲的国际对等网络提供10Gbps的网络连接。随着校园光纤基础设施的重大升级完全由资金支持并正在进行中，该项目将通过创建科学非军事区和为关键的校园研究设施提供10Gbps的带宽增加，完成UH Manoa校园网络的必要升级，以支持数据密集型科学。该项目将使OpenFlow能够在校园内推出，完全兼容奥斯卡动态电路配置，并将支持GENI实验。最后，该项目包括创新地部署PersSONAR工具，以支持对校园网的持续监控，并将对员工的影响降至最低。将受益于改进的校园网络的具有校园和全球影响的示范项目包括：泛-STARRS巡天望远镜、阿尔法磁谱数据中心、微生物海洋学研究和教育中心的微生物海洋学研究、夏威夷海洋生物学研究所，以及华盛顿大学海洋和地球科学与技术学院在气候变化、海洋学和防灾方面的基于传感器的研究。此外，将改善国家和全球范围内广泛获取夏威夷重要科学资源的机会。作为EPSCoR辖区内首屈一指的研究型大学，UH Manoa拥有全国最多元化的人口之一。UH是一所服务于夏威夷原住民的机构，也招收了大量且不断增加的太平洋岛民和菲律宾学生，他们在STEM相关的就业和教育中的比例也很低。在夏威夷，代表不足的本地和大陆学生和学者更多地参与研究，这将促进美国整个国家的研究和教育。

The Hawaii Innovation Initiative, a bold plan to double University of Hawaii (UH) research, will focus on research strengths in astronomy, earth and ocean sciences, as well as agriculture and health sciences. During the planning for the initiative it became clear to all that meeting this goal would require the development of a highly advanced cyberinfrastructure (CI) framework that encompasses high performance computing, data visualization, big data analytics, cybersecurity, large data storage and real time collaboration with scientists around the globe. All these capabilities must be enabled by advanced networking. UH has been extraordinarily successful in designing and implementing research and education (R&E) networks to connect campuses, research facilities, public schools and libraries throughout the Hawaiian Islands with national, international and regional networks. A recent series of NSF network infrastructure and NTIA BTOP awards now provide 10Gbps network connectivity on the islands, between the islands, to the mainland national R&E networks and to international peer networks in Australia and Asia.With a major upgrade in the campus fiber infrastructure fully funded and underway, this project will complete the necessary upgrade of the campus network at UH Manoa to support data-intensive science by creating a Science DMZ and providing 10Gbps bandwidth increases to key campus research facilities. The project will enable the rollout of OpenFlow on campus, is fully compatible with OSCARS for dynamic circuit provisioning, and will support GENI experimentation. Finally, the project includes the innovative deployment of perfSONAR tools to support continuous monitoring of the campus network with the lowest possible impact on staff.The proposed perfSONAR work represents a real innovation in campus networking. Exemplar projects with campus and global implications that will benefit from improved campus networks include: the Pan- STARRS Survey Telescope, the Alpha Magnetic Spectroscopy Data Center, microbial oceanography research at the Center for Microbial Oceanography Research and Education STC, the Hawaii Institute for Marine Biology, and sensor based research in climate change, oceanography and disaster preparedness at the UH School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. In addition, broad national and global access will be improved to significant scientific resources based in Hawaii. And as the premier research university in an EPSCoR jurisdiction, UH Manoa has one of the most diverse populations in the nation. UH is a Native Hawaiian-Serving Institution and also enrolls significant and growing numbers of Pacific Islander and Filipino students, who are also highly under-represented in STEM-related employment and education. The increased engagement of under-represented local and mainland students and scholars in research in Hawai?i will lead to improvements in U.S. research and education for the entire nation.
