Goal
• Enhance a portion of campus network to:
– Support network intensive research
– Support easy upgrade at minimal cost
Challenges of Large Transfers
• Challenges
– High-bandwidth, long distance is hard!
- Systems need tuning
- Network needs monitoring– “Latest” technologies are expensive
• Solution: NSF 100 Gbps Science DMZ
– Research-oriented network environment
- 100 Gbps connec:on to CENIC “high performance research” network
- Tuned network and systems
- At edge of campus to minimize cost for “latest” technology– Support to help researchers integrate into their work– Extend Science DMZ to buildings where needed
