CC*DNI Campus Design: Enhanced Data Delivery at Fort Hays State University

海斯堡州立大学正在升级他们的校园网络，以支持物理学、信息学、地球科学和堪萨斯数学与科学学院研究人员的科学数据传输需求。活动包括根据校园研究和教育网络中的科学DMZ概念重新构建校园边界，并为科学数据流建立10gbps连接。这些网络升级使跨校园的科研合作成为可能。物理教职员工和学生研究人员与堪萨斯州立大学和空军研究实验室合作，同时进行多个模拟，以调查激光对人体视网膜组织的影响，目标是生产更安全的激光器。地球科学学院的教职员工和学生研究人员现在可以从美国国家海洋和大气管理局获取大量数据文件，以调查堪萨斯州及周边各州大规模致命龙卷风的原因。此外，他们使用美国军事学院提供的死亡率数据，将异常天气事件与死亡率联系起来。此外，调查人员正在分析存档数据，以确定堪萨斯州的长期天气趋势，以记录全球天气变化如何影响堪萨斯州。信息学教师和学生创建了一个大数据（Hadoop）平台，用于挖掘互联网上的大量非结构化数据，以协助地球科学和信息学研究。堪萨斯州数学与科学学院（一个早期的大学入学STEM项目）的学生现在正在使用LandSat图像数据进行他们的研究项目。信息学研究人员使用扩展的范围和改进的网络监控工具来测试更先进的网络协议。这些实验的结果将在出版物、会议、FHSU讲习班中分享，并存档在数据存储库中。

Fort Hays State University is upgrading their campus network to support scientific data transfer needs of researchers in Physics, Informatics, Geosciences, and the Kansas Academy of Mathematics and Sciences. Activities include re-architecting the campus border with a design patterned after the science DMZ concept in campus research and education networking and establishing 10 Gbps connectivity for science data flows.Scientific research collaborations across campus are enabled by these network upgrades. Physics faculty and student researchers run multiple simulations simultaneously to investigate the effect of lasers on human retinal tissue in collaboration with Kansas State University and the Air Force Research Laboratory, with the goal of producing safer lasers. Geoscience faculty and student researchers now access very large data files from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in investigating the causes of large, deadly tornados in Kansas and surrounding states. In addition, they use mortality data provided by the U. S. Military Academy to correlate anomalous weather events and mortality. Additionally, investigators are analyzing archived data to establish the long-term weather trends in Kansas to document how global weather changes are affecting Kansas. Informatics faculty and students have created a big data (Hadoop) platform that is being used to mine vast quantities of unstructured data located across the Internet to assist Geoscience and Informatics research. Kansas Academy of Math and Science (an early college entrance STEM program) students are now using LandSat imagery data for their research projects. Informatics researchers use the expanded reach and improved network monitoring tools to test more advanced network protocols. The results of these experiments will be shared in publications, conferences, FHSU workshops, and archived in a data repository.
