CC*IIE Networking Infrastructure: UCScienceNet (UCSN) - A High Bandwidth Science DMZ to Enable STEM Discovery, Collaboration, and Education

辛辛那提大学现有的网络架构设计要求研究人员与一般大学社区共享1Gb网络连接，导致高速数据传输的瓶颈。 该项目建立了一个新的高性能专用研究网络，称为UCScienceNet（UCSN），将校园内的五个科学和工程研究设施连接到100 Gb的Internet2网络。 新的网络和升级的带宽容量使研究人员能够加速和扩展现有的研究计划，这些计划需要快速传输非常大的数据集，以便进行真实的时间可视化或分析。 它还促进了研究生态系统的形成，以解决高能物理研究，多尺度计算流体动力学，公共卫生，可再生能源，先进航空航天研究和全球气候变化监测中的复杂挑战问题。UCSN是一个高带宽、无摩擦的科学DMZ，以ESnet为模型，结合了用于监控和调整网络性能的perfSONAR，支持软件定义网络（SDN）和OpenFlow功能。这个100 Gb第3层分布式内部网络将UC研究人员连接到100 Gb俄亥俄州学术研究网络（OARnet），并从那里连接到其他高带宽网络。这些“大数据”网络的对等为大学和工业之间的研究伙伴关系开辟了新的机会，并促进了商业化和就业增长。UCScienceNet提供从五个研究密集型地点到100 Gb OARnet Internet2门户的可扩展40 Gb访问。消除校园和建筑物级网络基础设施的限制，使多个不同的高速大数据传输通过一个全面的，集成的网络基础设施，强大的访问国家，国家和国际网络。

The University of Cincinnati's existing network architecture design requires researchers to share a 1Gb network connection with the general university community, resulting in a bottleneck for high speed data transfers. This project builds a new high performance dedicated research network called UCScienceNet (UCSN) to link five science and engineering research facilities across campus to the 100Gb Internet2 network. The new network and upgraded bandwidth capacity enables investigators to accelerate and extend existing research programs which require fast transfer of very large data sets for real time visualization or analysis. It also facilitates the formation of a research ecosystem to address complex Grand Challenge problems in high-energy physics research, multi-scale computational fluid dynamics, public health, renewable energy, advanced aerospace research and global climate change monitoring. UCSN is a high bandwidth, friction free Science DMZ modeled after ESnet, incorporating perfSONAR for monitoring and tuning network performance, enabling software defined networking (SDN), and OpenFlow capabilities. This 100Gb Layer-3 distributed internal network connects UC researchers to the 100Gb Ohio Academic Research Network (OARnet), and from there to other high bandwidth networks. Peering of these "Big Data" networks opens new opportunities for research partnerships between university and industry, and promotes commercialization and job growth. UCScienceNet provides scalable 40Gb access from five research intensive locations to a 100Gb OARnet Internet2 portal. Eliminating campus and building-level network infrastructure constraints enables multiple, disparate high-speed big data transfers across a comprehensive, integrated cyberinfrastructure with robust access to state, national, and international networks.
