Florida Atlantic University is installing intra- and inter-campus networking facilities to establish a 10-gigabit regional DMZ for research computing that supports data-intensive research and education in science and engineering. The DMZ establishes high-performance data pathways among multiple campuses and research partners and addresses critical performance bottlenecks on the critical path to the sustained growth of data-intensive science and engineering at Florida Atlantic University. The DMZ supports collaborative research and education activities across Florida Atlantic's campuses, strengthens its connections to statewide research computing resources, and solidifies new ties to regional partners. The merit of the project lies in the research and training activities that the DMZ enables. The benefits of the infrastructure span disciplines, including computer science, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, medicine, chemistry, genomics, ocean engineering, and marine science; in areas that include big data research and training, transportation logistics, nanomaterials, biomarker analysis, computational chemistry, marine mammal classification, and undersea communication. The new DMZ enables Florida Atlantic University to more effectively engage in data-intensive science and engineering activities that are critical in sustaining the nation's positions of technological and economic leadership.The DMZ separates Florida Atlantic's research network from its academic and administrative infrastructure to support congestion-free network transfers among researchers working across multiple campuses in an increasingly data-intensive research environment. The infrastructure establishes three types of connections: (i) The DMZ connects three of Florida Atlantic?s campuses, linking its main campus in Boca Raton to its Jupiter and Harbor Branch Oceanographic campuses in Jupiter and Fort Pierce, respectively. The infrastructure federates access to data centers resident at each campus and provides bridge access to those resources. (ii) The infrastructure extends the science and engineering DMZ to Florida's Scripps Research Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Neuroscience, building on new institutional agreements between the two research giants and Florida Atlantic, focused on collaborations headquartered in Jupiter. (iii) Finally, the infrastructure links all five sites to computation and storage capabilities provided through the Sunshine State Education and Research Computing Alliance (SSERCA) via Florida Atlantic's existing link to the Florida Lambda Rail. In aggregate, the networking infrastructure provides high-speed data pathways among distributed research teams, as well as to computational and storage resources on each campus and the broader community of Sunshine State Education & Research Computing Alliance (SSERCA) institutions.

佛罗里达大西洋大学正在安装校园内和校园间网络设施，以建立一个用于研究计算的 10 GB 区域 DMZ，以支持科学和工程领域的数据密集型研究和教育。 DMZ 在多个校区和研究合作伙伴之间建立高性能数据路径，并解决佛罗里达大西洋大学数据密集型科学与工程持续增长关键路径上的关键性能瓶颈。 DMZ 支持佛罗里达大西洋校区的协作研究和教育活动，加强与全州研究计算资源的联系，并巩固与区域合作伙伴的新联系。该项目的优点在于 DMZ 所支持的研究和培训活动。基础设施的好处跨越学科，包括计算机科学、土木工程、机械工程、医学、化学、基因组学、海洋工程和海洋科学；领域包括大数据研究和培训、运输物流、纳米材料、生物标记分析、计算化学、海洋哺乳动物分类和海底通信。新的 DMZ 使佛罗里达大西洋大学能够更有效地参与数据密集型科学和工程活动，这些活动对于维持国家的技术和经济领导地位至关重要。DMZ 将佛罗里达大西洋大学的研究网络与其学术和行政基础设施分开，以支持拥塞-在数据日益密集的研究环境中，跨多个校区工作的研究人员之间可以进行免费网络传输。该基础设施建立了三种类型的连接：(i) DMZ 连接了佛罗里达大西洋的三个校区，分别将其位于博卡拉顿的主校区与其位于朱庇特和皮尔斯堡的朱庇特和海港分支海洋学校区连接起来。该基础设施联合对每个园区数据中心的访问，并提供对这些资源的桥接访问。 (ii) 基础设施将科学和工程 DMZ 扩展到佛罗里达州斯克里普斯研究所和马克斯普朗克神经科学研究所，以这两个研究巨头与佛罗里达大西洋公司之间新的机构协议为基础，重点关注总部位于木星的合作。 (iii) 最后，基础设施将所有五个站点通过佛罗里达大西洋与佛罗里达 Lambda 铁路的现有链路连接到阳光州教育和研究计算联盟 (SSERCA) 提供的计算和存储功能。总的来说，网络基础设施为分布式研究团队之间以及每个校园和阳光之州教育与研究计算联盟 (SSERCA) 机构的更广泛社区的计算和存储资源提供了高速数据路径。
