CC*IIE Region: Accelerating the Adoption of Campus Cyberinfrastructure Technologies in Pennsylvania

Keystone网络教育与研究倡议（KINBER）是一个全州范围的非营利组织，正在实施一项协调领导和指导活动的计划，以提高宾夕法尼亚高校理解和利用其网络基础设施的能力，以支持校园内基于网络基础设施的科学应用和研究。这些领导活动的重点是理解、部署、集成和支持校园网络基础设施技术，如perfSONAR、校园科学DMZ、端到端性能监控和校园网络安全。该项目通过使用便利的研讨会、校园访问、区域监测、后续访问和技术援助（包括部署perfSONAR设备），在宾夕法尼亚州建立了一个协作网络基础设施社区。该项目在该州扩展部署了perfSONAR平台，为校园IT人员和研究人员提供了一套丰富的性能测量和诊断工具。通过该项目获得的知识使宾夕法尼亚的校园能够支持广泛的基于网络基础设施的应用，包括那些依赖于计算、存储和网络资源无缝集成的应用，包括支持大数据传输的能力。该项目提供了长期的好处，因为更多的宾夕法尼亚学院和大学部署了科学dmz，并扩大了他们的校园基础设施能力，利用该项目的在线知识库来解决和识别常见的网络基础设施问题。

The Keystone Initiative for Network Based Education and Research (KINBER), a statewide nonprofit organization, is implementing a program of coordinated leadership and mentoring activities that improve the ability of Pennsylvania colleges and universities to understand and utilize their network infrastructure to support cyberinfrastructure-based scientific applications and research on their campuses. These leadership activities focus on the understanding, deployment, integration and support of campus cyberinfrastructure technologies, such as perfSONAR, campus science DMZ, end-to-end performance monitoring and campus cybersecurity. This program establishes a collaborative cyberinfrastructure community in Pennsylvania through the use of facilitated workshops, campus visits, regional monitoring, follow-up visits and technical assistance including deploying perfSONAR equipment. The program's expanded deployment of perfSONAR platforms within the state provides a rich set of performance measurement and diagnostic tools to campus IT staff and researchers.The knowledge gained through this program enables campuses within Pennsylvania to support a broad set of cyberinfrastructure-based applications, including those that rely on the seamless integration of computing, storage and network resources, including the ability to support large data transfers. The program provides benefits over the longer term as additional Pennsylvania colleges and universities deploy science DMZs and expand their campus infrastructure capabilities, utilizing the program's online knowledge base for solving and identifying common cyberinfrastructure problems.
