The University of California Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory (BML) will establish a fiber-optic local area network that is high-performance, fault-tolerant, and adaptable. BML is located in a remote region of the Northern California coast, despite the remote location, BML has access to available bandwidth up to 10 GB/s through AT&T's fiber service, comparable to bandwidth offerings in major metropolitan areas but the aged, internal local area network infrastructure (developed when the WAN bandwidth was 1.5Mbps) is a severe limitation. BML's fiber internet connection is currently analogous to a "new superhighway", however BML's internal connection to the outside (WAN) is analogous to a "bumpy gravel road" slowing down the advantage that the external high speed infrastructure can provide. The new high performance internal architecture is designed to support research, instruction, public education, and data acquisition/dissemination; both across the facility and beyond. BML is situated in a scientifically relevant location. It is the primary open-coast research facility for research in upwelling environments along the California coast. Sophisticated technical resources include ample bandwidth (external internet access), network storage, video conferencing capability, access to long-term atmospheric, oceanographic, and biological data, BML- and agency-operated sensor networks, an ocean-observing node, University library resources, seawater system, pathogen containment facilities, climate change research facilities, access to the 362-acre Bodega Marine Reserve, and specialized laboratory instruments and microscopy.Enhanced network capacity provides both UC Davis researchers, visiting researchers, post docs, and students with bandwidth sufficient to easily explore, discover, analyze and utilize data at other sites as well as local data sources. Further, education and outreach programs, both at BML and elsewhere will benefit directly from the enhanced infrastructure. Public education programs will be able to disseminate science directly to the public and public visitors to BML will learn about research via high-quality, interactive computer-driven interpretive displays that will access data products across the local area network. Research at UC Davis BML is highly interdisciplinary particularly in the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, with a strong linkage between physical land-sea interface data (e.g. oceanographic, meterological) and biological responses. Strong collaborations between the Bodega Ocean Observing Node and the Bodega Ocean Acidification Research group means that large physical data sets are shared and integrated into biological (genomic and transcriptomic) data on a routine basis. The critically endangered white abalone captive breeding program under a federal ESA permit is located at BML and generates very large High Definition and 360-degree video and image files for analysis of larvae and feeding by broodstock. For data of this scale, the current LAN inhibits routine file transfer or backup during working hours. Often backup or simple file transfer between labs can take overnight. Examples of 'big data' challenges at BML include accessing computing clusters for genome and transcriptome analyses of populations of marine invertebrates as well as proteomic analyses from endangered species (white abalone) for assessment of reproductive conditioning. High-resolution numerical models and management of high-resolution ocean-observing data (e.g., high frequency radar, pCO2, O2, conductivity, fluorescence, etc.) provide the basis for biological responses to climate change as related to changes in normal upwelling patterns. Interdisciplinary environmental research intensity, diversity and collaborations are growing rapidly in part due to the coalescence of more than 90 marine science and policy faculty at UC Davis as part of the new Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute.

加利福尼亚大学戴维斯大学博德加海洋实验室（BML）将建立一个高性能，耐断层和适应性的光纤局域网。 BML位于北加州海岸的一个偏远地区，尽管位置偏远，但BML仍可以通过AT＆T的光纤服务获得可用的带宽，最高可达10 GB/s，与大都市主要地区的带宽产品相当，但是年龄较高的本地网络基础设施（当Wan Bandwidth时开发）是1.5Mbps的wan bandwidth是一个严重的限制。 BML的光纤互联网连接目前类似于“新的高速公路”，但是BML与外部的内部连接（WAN）类似于“颠簸的碎石路”，从而减慢了外部高速基础设施可以提供的优势。新的高性能内部体系结构旨在支持研究，指导，公共教育和数据获取/传播；遍布整个设施及以后。 BML位于科学相关的位置。它是加利福尼亚海岸上升环境中研究的主要开放海岸研究机构。复杂的技术资源包括足够的跨宽（外部互联网访问），网络存储，视频会议能力，访问长期大气，海洋学和生物数据，BML和代理机构经营的传感器网络，海洋观察节点，大学图书馆资源，海水库资源，海水遏制设施，病原体的启动设施，范围内的研究设施，访问362-232-232-232-232显微镜。增强的网络容量为戴维斯分校的研究人员，访问研究人员，文档和学生提供带宽，足以在其他站点以及本地数据源中轻松探索，发现，分析和利用数据。此外，BML和其他地方的教育和外展计划将直接从增强的基础设施中受益。公共教育计划将能够将科学直接传播给BML的公众和公共访问者，将通过高质量的，交互式计算机驱动的解释性展示来了解研究，以访问整个局部网络的数据产品。 UC Davis BML的研究是高度跨学科的，尤其是在气候变化对生态系统的影响方面，物理土地接口数据（例如海洋学，计量学）和生物学反应之间存在牢固的联系。 Bodega Ocean观察节点与Bodega Ocean酸化研究小组之间的强有力的合作意味着，大量的物理数据集被共享并集成到生物学（基因组和转录组）数据中。根据联邦ESA许可证，濒临灭绝的白色鲍鱼圈养育种计划位于BML，并生成非常大的高清晰度和360度视频和图像文件，用于分析幼虫和Broodstock的喂食。对于此量表的数据，当前LAN在工作时间内抑制常规文件传输或备份。通常，实验室之间的备份或简单的文件传输可以过夜。 BML的“大数据”挑战的例子包括访问用于基因组的计算簇和海洋无脊椎动物种群的转录组分析以及濒临灭绝物种（白巴龙）的蛋白质组学分析，以评估生殖条件。高分辨率的数值模型和高分辨率海洋观察数据（例如，高频雷达，PCO2，O2，电导率，荧光等）为气候变化的生物学反应提供了与正常上升模式变化有关的生物学反应的基础。跨学科的环境研究强度，多样性和合作迅速增长，部分原因是加州大学戴维斯分校的90多名海洋科学和政策教师是新的沿海和海洋科学研究所的一部分。
