The Texas Medical Center (TMC) in Houston, Texas, is home to a 15-year networking association called the Collaborative Healthcare Alliance for Technology (CHAT), comprised of 11 research and clinically focused organizations and over 70,000 researchers, educators, students and staff. CHAT is led and operated by the founding member, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), in support of the community's explosive research-centric, network-intensive needs. This project replaces aging infrastructure with state-of-the-art equipment, while simplifying the design, and simultaneously enabling  frictionless, high-speed data transfers by creating a first-ever Science DMZ, directly benefiting research labs such as: - Baylor's Human Genome Sequencing Center, led by Dr. Richard Gibbs, which has transferred hundreds of terabytes of genomic data in the past year, most notably as a part of the CHARGE project; - the Center for Genome Architecture producing and sharing some 50 Tbytes of new sequenced data each year; and - the Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research engaged in the production and collaborative processing of tens of terabytes of microbial genomic data.While updating the underlying infrastructure, the project also upgrades the connection between CHAT and its nearest upstream provider, the Southeast Texas GigaPoP (SETG), from 10 to 100 Gbps, matching the recently upgraded 100Gbps connection between SETG and LEARN, the Texas-wide research and education network backbone that ties the R&E community to Internet2. By streamlining research data transfers, the investigators will empower researchers at BCM and other CHAT partners to hasten the eradication of today's greatest health challenges.

位于德克萨斯州休斯顿的德克萨斯医学中心 (TMC) 是一个成立 15 年的网络协会的所在地，称为协作医疗保健技术联盟 (CHAT)，该协会由 11 个研究和临床重点组织以及超过 70,000 名研究人员、教育工作者、学生和工作人员组成CHAT 由创始成员贝勒医学院 (BCM) 领导和运营，旨在支持社区以研究为中心的爆炸性网络密集型需求。该项目用以下技术取代老化的基础设施。先进的设备，同时简化设计，同时通过创建第一个科学 DMZ 实现无摩擦、高速数据传输，直接使研究实验室受益，例如： - 由 Dr. 领导的贝勒人类基因组测序中心Richard Gibbs，在过去的一年中传输了数百 TB 的基因组数据，其中最引人注目的是作为 CHARGE 项目的一部分 - 基因组架构中心生成并共享了约 50 个基因组数据；每年产生数 TB 的新测序数据；以及 - 宏基因组学和微生物组研究中心从事数十 TB 微生物基因组数据的生产和协作处理。在更新底层基础设施的同时，该项目还升级了 CHAT 与其最近的连接上游提供商东南德克萨斯州 GigaPoP (SETG)，速率从 10 Gbps 到 100 Gbps，与 SETG 和 LEARN 之间最近升级的 100 Gbps 连接相匹配，德克萨斯州范围内的研究和教育网络骨干将 R&E 社区与 Internet2 连接起来。通过简化研究数据传输，研究人员将帮助 BCM 和其他 CHAT 合作伙伴的研究人员加速消除当今最严重的健康挑战。
