CC*IIE Campus Design: Building a Next-Generation Research Network for Vassar College

该项目提供了一个利用下一代技术的科学研究网络，以大大减少和消除瓦萨学院科学研究数据自由流动的障碍。 增强的网络更好地支持大数据集的传输，大大增加了网络容量，减少了延迟，使科学研究人员能够利用分布式数据收集，远程传感器网络和进行其他网络增强的研究。该项目将现有的网络核心升级为全网状的10Gbps主干，以促进Vassar网络的大容量科学研究数据传输。 设计并实施了一个专门的科学研究网络，即科学DMZ，以使科学数据能够在研究人员、数据收集、分析和存储资源之间自由流动。 研究人员可以从科学DMZ直接访问研究和教育（RE）网络，包括纽约州教育研究网络和因特网2，访问分布式计算资源，包括纽约州高性能计算联盟（HPC 2），以及支持科学研究的商品因特网。 此外，到本地接入点（POP）的光纤连接也被重新配置，以实现更大的网络吞吐量。

This project provides a Science Research Network utilizing next-generation technologies to dramatically reduce and remove barriers to the free flow of scientific research data at Vassar College. The enhanced network better supports the transfer of large data sets with dramatically increased network capacity and reduced latency, positioning science researchers to utilize distributed data collection, remote sensor networks and pursue other network-enhanced research.This project upgrades the current network core to a fully meshed 10Gbps backbone to facilitate high-capacity science research data transmission across the Vassar network. A dedicated science research network, a Science DMZ, is designed and implemented to enable the unfettered flow of science data across and between researchers, data collection, analysis and storage resources. Researchers are provided direct access from the Science DMZ to Research and Education (R&E) Networks including the New York State Education & Research Network and Internet2, with access to distributed computing resources including the New York State High Performance Computing Consortium (HPC2), as well as the commodity Internet in support of scientific research. Additionally fiber connections to the local Point of Presence (POP) are reconfigured to enable dramatically greater network throughput.
