CC*DNI Networking Infrastructure: Enabling Multi-Campus, Data-Driven Science and Engineering through a 10Gb FAU DMZ

佛罗里达大西洋大学正在安装校内和校际网络设施，以建立一个10G的区域DMZ，用于研究计算，支持科学和工程领域的数据密集型研究和教育。非军事区在多个校区和研究伙伴之间建立了高性能的数据路径，并解决了佛罗里达大西洋大学数据密集型科学和工程持续增长的关键路径上的关键性能瓶颈。非军事区支持佛罗里达大西洋大学校园内的合作研究和教育活动，加强其与全州研究计算资源的联系，并巩固与地区合作伙伴的新联系。该项目的优点在于非军事区促成的研究和培训活动。基础设施的好处横跨多个学科，包括计算机科学、土木工程、机械工程、医学、化学、基因组学、海洋工程和海洋科学；领域包括大数据研究和培训、交通物流、纳米材料、生物标志物分析、计算化学、海洋哺乳动物分类和海底通信。新的非军事区使佛罗里达大西洋大学能够更有效地从事数据密集型科学和工程活动，这些活动对于维持美国在技术和经济方面的领先地位至关重要。非军事区将佛罗里达大西洋大学的研究网络与其学术和行政基础设施分开，以支持在数据日益密集的研究环境中跨多个校区工作的研究人员之间无拥塞的网络传输。该基础设施建立了三种类型的连接：(I)非军事区连接佛罗里达州大西洋？S的三个校区，分别将博卡拉顿的主校区与朱庇特和皮尔斯堡的朱庇特和海港分校海洋校区连接起来。该基础设施联合访问驻留在每个园区的数据中心，并提供对这些资源的桥接访问。(Ii)基础设施将科学和工程非军事区扩展到佛罗里达州斯克里普斯研究所和马克斯·普朗克神经科学研究所，建立在这两个研究巨头与佛罗里达大西洋公司之间新的机构协议的基础上，重点是总部设在木星的合作。(Iii)最后，基础设施将所有五个地点与阳光州教育和研究计算联盟(SSERCA)通过佛罗里达大西洋现有的佛罗里达兰布达铁路连接提供的计算和存储能力连接起来。总体而言，网络基础设施在分散的研究团队之间提供高速数据路径，并为每个校园和阳光州立教育与研究计算联盟(SSERCA)机构的更广泛社区提供计算和存储资源。

Florida Atlantic University is installing intra- and inter-campus networking facilities to establish a 10-gigabit regional DMZ for research computing that supports data-intensive research and education in science and engineering. The DMZ establishes high-performance data pathways among multiple campuses and research partners and addresses critical performance bottlenecks on the critical path to the sustained growth of data-intensive science and engineering at Florida Atlantic University. The DMZ supports collaborative research and education activities across Florida Atlantic's campuses, strengthens its connections to statewide research computing resources, and solidifies new ties to regional partners. The merit of the project lies in the research and training activities that the DMZ enables. The benefits of the infrastructure span disciplines, including computer science, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, medicine, chemistry, genomics, ocean engineering, and marine science; in areas that include big data research and training, transportation logistics, nanomaterials, biomarker analysis, computational chemistry, marine mammal classification, and undersea communication. The new DMZ enables Florida Atlantic University to more effectively engage in data-intensive science and engineering activities that are critical in sustaining the nation's positions of technological and economic leadership.The DMZ separates Florida Atlantic's research network from its academic and administrative infrastructure to support congestion-free network transfers among researchers working across multiple campuses in an increasingly data-intensive research environment. The infrastructure establishes three types of connections: (i) The DMZ connects three of Florida Atlantic?s campuses, linking its main campus in Boca Raton to its Jupiter and Harbor Branch Oceanographic campuses in Jupiter and Fort Pierce, respectively. The infrastructure federates access to data centers resident at each campus and provides bridge access to those resources. (ii) The infrastructure extends the science and engineering DMZ to Florida's Scripps Research Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Neuroscience, building on new institutional agreements between the two research giants and Florida Atlantic, focused on collaborations headquartered in Jupiter. (iii) Finally, the infrastructure links all five sites to computation and storage capabilities provided through the Sunshine State Education and Research Computing Alliance (SSERCA) via Florida Atlantic's existing link to the Florida Lambda Rail. In aggregate, the networking infrastructure provides high-speed data pathways among distributed research teams, as well as to computational and storage resources on each campus and the broader community of Sunshine State Education & Research Computing Alliance (SSERCA) institutions.
