CC* Network Design: ARCHES (Advanced Research Computing in the Humanities Engineering and Sciences) Network at the University of New Orleans

随着计算能力的提高，加上大数据集的可用性，强调需要改进网络基础设施，以支持各种数据密集型科学的研究。虽然研究人员在存储、访问、管理和管理数据方面有特定领域的需求，但底层的网络需求保持不变。人文科学工程与科学（ARCHES）网络中的高级研究计算通过帮助解决管理科学数据的不断变化的挑战，促进了计算查询领域的研究。该项目的主要特点包括：（a）部署一个聚合路由器，以改善与第二代互联网的连接;（B）加强校园实验室、计算集群和数字人文媒体实验室周围目前的数据传输能力;（c）部署perfSONAR，以监测网络流量;（d）评估网络基础设施对在科学研究和教育团体之间建立新型合作的影响。ARCHES网络设计改进了类似网络的成功实现，并找到了适当的平衡，以同时满足网络安全，研究和教育需求。该网络使教育工作者能够采用新的教学方法和技术，并为学生提供更好的教育体验。由于其对劳动力发展的重视，ARCHES为开发新的课程材料提供了途径，并为本科生和学校教师提供了研究经验。该网络为研究人员，学生和教育工作者提供了新的机会，从而对一些研究领域产生了重大影响。

Increased computing capacity coupled with the availability of large data sets have emphasized the need for improved network infrastructure to support research in varied data intensive sciences. While researchers have domain-specific needs for storing, accessing, managing and curating their data, the underlying networking needs remain the same. The Advanced Research Computing in the Humanities Engineering and Sciences (ARCHES) network facilitates research in fields of computational inquiry by helping address the continuously evolving challenges of managing scientific data. The main features of the project include (a) deploying an aggregation router to improve connectivity to Internet 2; (b) enhancing the current data transport capabilities around campus laboratories, computational clusters and the digital humanities media laboratory; (c) deploying perfSONAR to monitor network traffic; and (d) assess the impact of cyberinfrastructure in building novel collaborations between scientific research and educational groups. The ARCHES network design improves on successful implementations of similar networks and finds an appropriate balance to simultaneously address network security, research, and educational needs. The network enables educators to adopt new pedagogical approaches and technologies, and to provide students with an enhanced educational experience. With its emphasis on workforce development, ARCHES provides pathways for development of new curricular material and supports research experiences for undergraduate students and schoolteachers. The network provides new opportunities for researchers, students, and educators alike, thus having a significant impact on a number of research domains.
