CC*DNI Marshall University Data Driven Networking Infrastructure for the Campus and Researcher

马歇尔大学正在改进和扩展其校园研究网络，以提供研究设施之间的高性能端到端网络连接，方法是：a)科学非军事区，以提供专用网络，其配置和策略针对科学应用进行优化。B)专用数据传输节点，提供高速存储服务器，具有足够的数据存储空间，可承载科学非军事区的大数据集和10G传输速率；c)高性能网络改进，支持科研设施、实验室与校园核心网/数据中心之间的10-40 Gb/S连接。端到端网络性能测量基于PerformSONAR框架，允许持续监控性能和延迟。改进的网络基础设施通过加强从研究地点的终端到主要校园研究设施的数据传输，为先进的数据密集型科学研究提供支持，包括罗伯特·C·伯德生物技术科学中心、基因组学和生物信息学核心设施(GABC)、Arthur Weisberg家庭应用工程综合体、可视化实验室，以及大学数据中心和备份设施中的Big Green XSEDE兼容高性能计算集群。新的网络功能使校园内连接的数据传输速度更快，并消除了外部连接的瓶颈，以促进通过Internet2国家网络与其他机构的合作。该项目与该机构的网络基础设施计划保持一致，以实现创建可扩展的网络设计的目标，以支持当前和未来的科学要求，以推进科学研究。

Marshall University is improving and expanding its campus research network to offer high-performance end-to-end network connectivity between research facilities by implementing: a) Science DMZ to provide a dedicated network with configuration and policies optimized for scientific applications. b) a dedicated data transfer node to offer a high-speed storage server with adequate data store to host large data sets and 10G transfer rate on the Science DMZ and c) high performance network improvement supporting 10-40 Gb/s connectivity between research facilities, laboratories and the campus core network/data center. The end-to-end network performance measurement is based on the perfSONAR framework allowing constant monitoring of performance and latency. The improved network infrastructures provides support to advanced data-intensive scientific research by enhancing data transfer from the end points at the researcher locations to the main campus research facilities including the Robert C Byrd Biotechnology Science Center, Genomics & Bioinformatics Core Facility (GABC), Arthur Weisberg Family Applied Engineering Complex, Visualization Lab, and Big Green XSEDE-compatible High Performance Computing cluster in University data center and the backup facility.The new network capabilities enable faster data transfer for intra-campus connectivity and remove the bottleneck in external connectivity to foster collaboration with other institutions over the Internet2 national network. The project aligns with the institution's cyberinfrastructure plan in achieving the goal of creating a scalable network design that supports current and future science requirements to advance scientific research.
