CC*IIE Networking Infrastructure: Cyberinfrastructure - Creation of Science DMZ at UL Lafayette

路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校正在创建一个专用的高速科学DMZ网络基础设施，以支持校园内的科学和工程学院。大学内各种当前和未来的研究项目都有计算和数据传输需求，大大超出了现有基础设施所能支持的范围。科学DMZ提供下一代数据包传输服务，具有更好的流量识别、安全性和应用程序控制，并提供40Gbps的数据传输容量，连接校园内所有主要研究实验室。基础设施还将校园连接到全州范围的路易斯安那光网络倡议（LONI）和Internet2。该基础设施解决了科学发现的主要瓶颈，并为研究人员提供了更好的访问路易斯安那沉浸式技术企业（LITE）的可视化场所，以及LONI和XSEDE上可用的高性能计算（HPC）系统。这种升级的下一代网络基础设施还为远程可视化、远程呈现和计算集群之间的带宽密集型数据传输提供了更大的容量。这将对计算生物学、生物信息学、计算机视觉、网络安全和数据科学等领域的多个校园科学和工程项目大有裨益。这些基础设施还支持沿海湿地丧失、流行病学、替代能源和医学等具有高度经济和社会影响的研究领域。该项目还为路易斯安那大学拉斐特分校的学生提供了利用该网络基础设施的机会。

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is creating a dedicated high-speed science DMZ network infrastructure to support science and engineering faculty on campus. Various current and future research projects within the university have computational and data transfer needs that dramatically exceed beyond what existing infrastructure can support. The science DMZ delivers a next-generation packet transport service with better traffic identification, security, and application controls, and offers a 40Gbps data transfer capacity that connects all major research laboratories on campus. The infrastructure also links this campus wide connectivity to the statewide Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI), and Internet2. This infrastructure addresses major bottlenecks to scientific discovery, and provides researchers with better access to visualization venues at Louisiana Immersive Technology Enterprise (LITE), and High Performance Computing (HPC) systems available on both LONI and XSEDE. This upgraded next-generation network infrastructure also provides increased capacity for remote visualization, telepresence, and bandwidth-intensive data transfers between computational clusters. This will be of great benefit to multiple science and engineering programs across campus in the areas of computational biology, bioinformatics, computer vision, cybersecurity, and data science. The infrastructure also supports research areas such as coastal wetland loss, epidemiology, alternative energy, and medicine that have high economic and societal impact. The project also creates exposure for students at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to leverage this network infrastructure.
