CC* Regional: Extended Vital Education Reach Multiple Organization Regional OneOklahoma Friction Free Network (EVER-MORe-OFFN)

CC* 网络基础设施项目，扩展的重要教育覆盖多个组织区域一俄克拉荷马州无摩擦网络（EVER-MORe-OFFN），扩展了卡梅隆大学（CU）、东中俄克拉荷马州大学（ECU）（均升级至10 Gbps），Oral Roberts University（ORU）（升级到100 Gbps），通过基于社区的科学DMZ技术将它们连接到OneOklahoma Friction Free Network（OFFN）。 使用10 Gb和100 Gb通道，OFFN连接俄克拉荷马州的研究机构。OFFN允许每个机构的研究人员可靠地连接到超级计算机和大数据存储库，提高计算能力，并增加机构间的合作。以前，EVER-MORe-OFFN机构的研究人员在处理大型数据集时缺乏吞吐速度。OFFN的EVER-MORe-OFFN扩展为这些研究人员提供了一个高速高效的网络，允许研究人员进行分析和模拟，并为教授提供了更多的课程项目和作业。此外，ORU的高性能计算中心通过此次扩建向合作大学开放。加上这三个机构，OFFN的机构参与总数增加到12个。 随着OFFN的扩大，所服务的人口也在扩大，这为获得必要的资源提供了新的途径，以创造以前无法提供的研究机会。 该项目对科学界有着更广泛的影响，包括下一代研究人员和科学家，开启了许多令人兴奋的发现之门。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The CC* Networking Infrastructure project, Extended Vital Education Reach Multiple Organization Regional OneOklahoma Friction Free Network (EVER-MORe-OFFN), expands the network capabilities of Cameron University (CU), East Central Oklahoma University (ECU) (both upgraded to 10Gbps), and Oral Roberts University (ORU) (upgraded to 100 Gbps) by connecting them to the OneOklahoma Friction Free Network (OFFN) through community-based Science DMZ technologies. Using 10Gb and 100Gb channels, OFFN interconnects Oklahoma's research organizations. OFFN allows the researchers at each institution to reliably connect to supercomputers and big data repositories, increase computational capabilities, and increase inter-institution collaboration. Previously, researchers at the EVER-MORe-OFFN institutions lacked throughput speed when dealing with large data sets. The EVER-MORe-OFFN expansion of OFFN affords these researchers access to a high-speed and efficient network allowing for analyses and simulations by researchers and an expanded repertoire of course projects and assignments available to professors. Additionally, the High Performance Computing Center at ORU is open to the collaborating universities through this expansion. Adding these three institutions increases the total OFFN Institutional participation to 12 institutions. As OFFN expands, so does the serviced population which provides new access to the necessary resources to create research opportunities previously not afforded. This project has broader implications for the scientific community including the next generation of researchers and scientists unlocking the door to many exciting discoveries.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
