CC*IIE Campus Design: Advancing Research at Carleton College via 10Gbps Upgrade to the Northern Lights GigaPOP and Implementation of a Science DMZ

该项目广泛改善了卡尔顿的网络基础设施设计和集成，以确保系统性能和可靠性，包括数据传输的速率和安全性，以支持计算科学。项目目标包括：(1)将校园Internet2连接到北极光GigaPOP的速度提升到10Gbps；(2)设计并构建一个科学非军事区原型，为目前受到校园建筑和数据基础设施限制的研究人员提供即时支持；(3)将从科学非军事区原型中获得的经验与卡尔顿科学规划小组正在进行的工作相结合，制定最有效的端到端研究连通性计划，并关注校园科学设施的扩建和改造；(4)利用教师和工作人员在这一过程中获得的知识和经验，进行持续的合作努力，促进国内和国际上的研究共享。该项目的设计和实现基于成功的nsf资助项目开发的最佳实践，特别关注科学DMZ的设计，以满足研究型文理学院研究人员的需求。该项目的设计和实施改善了最终用户可访问的高带宽连接，从而提高了广泛应用的网络性能和可预测性。该项目解决了阻碍教师与外部研究伙伴进行研究的特定网络基础设施限制。项目负责人将在全国研讨会、会议和会议上介绍有关设计挑战和创新的发现，以促进小型机构对广域和校园网络基础设施中SDN的理解。

This project broadly improves Carleton's cyberinfrastructure design and integration to ensure system performance and reliability, including rate and security of data transfer, in support of computational science. Project goals include (1) Upgrading campus Internet2 connection to the Northern Lights GigaPOP to a speed of 10Gbps; (2) Designing and building a prototype Science DMZ to provide immediate support for researchers constrained by the current limitations of the campus building and data infrastructures; (3) Blending the experience gained from the prototype Science DMZ with the ongoing work of the Carleton Science Planning Group to formulate the most effective plan for end-to-end research connectivity, with attention to proposed expansion and remodeling of campus science facilities; (4) Leveraging the knowledge and experience gained by the faculty and staff in this process into the ongoing collaboration efforts to facilitate shared research nationally and internationally. The project's design and implementation is based on best practices developed by successful NSF-funded projects, with particular focus on design of a Science DMZ to meet the needs of researchers at a research-oriented liberal arts college. The design and implementation of the project improves high bandwidth connections accessible to end-users in order to improve network performance and predictability for a wide range of applications. The project addresses specific cyberinfrastructure limitations that impede faculty research with external research partners. Project leaders will present findings regarding design challenges and innovations at national workshops, meetings, and conferences in order to advance small-institution understanding of SDN across wide-area and campus cyberinfrastructure.
