CC*DNI Networking Infrastructure: Utah Valley University Dense Wavelength Divisions Multiplexing Connection and Science Network

犹他州山谷大学(UVU)正在与犹他州教育网络(UEN)一起实施高速网络连接，该网络使用现有光缆上的密集波分复用(DWDM)将该大学与其他州和国家研究网络连接起来。此外，正在建立一个独立于常规校园网络的校内研究和科学网络，以促进当前和未来的研究。该项目由UVU的首席信息官领导，由UVU/UEN的工程师实施；研究咨询委员会将帮助最大限度地发挥新技术的好处。网络升级为UVU社区提供了用于需要高带宽能力的科学和教育项目的网络基础设施。该项目增加了本科生研究和体验式学习的能力。由于UVU是UEN网络(全国主要教育网络之一)的主要枢纽，增强的连接性将改善犹他州所有学校和许多公共教育服务的STEM教育；在这个幅员辽阔的州，农村、偏远和服务不足的人口获得STEM教育的机会将得到加强。此外，高带宽、高速能力促进了UVU在美国Ignite社区的合作伙伴关系。通过这个项目，UVU正在安装网络硬件，这些硬件将连接到UEN之前安装的4x10GE设备。该网络设备由能够支持10、40和100千兆以太网端口的交换机组成，总体交换能力超过83 TB/秒。这些交换机支持第2层路由以及IPv4和IPv6路由。正在部署一台PerformSONAR主机用于网络性能监控。

Utah Valley University (UVU) is implementing a high speed network connection in conjunction with the Utah Educational Network (UEN) that connects the university to other state and national research networks using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) across existing fiber optic cable. Additionally, an on-campus research and science network is being created, separate from the regular campus network, to facilitate current and future research. The project is headed by UVU's CIO and implemented by UVU/UEN engineers; a Research Advisory Committee will help maximize the benefits of the new technology. Network upgrades provide the UVU community with cyberinfrastructure for scientific and education projects requiring high bandwidth capabilities. The project increases capacity for undergraduate research and experiential learning. As UVU is a major hub on the UEN network (one of the nation's premier education networks), the enhanced connectivity will improve STEM education in all Utah schools and many public education services; access to STEM education will be strengthened for rural, remote, and underserved populations in this vast state. Additionally, high bandwidth, high speed capabilities facilitate UVU's partnership in the US Ignite community.Through this project, UVU is installing networking hardware that will connect to the 4x10GE equipment previously installed by UEN. The networking equipment consists of switches capable of supporting 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports with more than 83 terabits per second of overall switching capability. The switches support layer-2 routing, and IPv4 and IPv6 routing. A perfSONAR host is being deployed for network performance monitoring.
