项目摘要

Research progress is increasingly dependent upon the available capacity of storage to flexibly exploit large volumes of digital information. The North East Storage Exchange (NESE) project creates a next-generation storage infrastructure specifically targeted at enabling new levels of collaborative research in projects regularly involving petabytes of information. This storage exchange will integrate with a computational and network infrastructure that links Harvard University, Boston University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts system. This project contributes to building a national data infrastructure to support advanced research in such priority topics as health care, epidemiology, physics, and earth science, among others.NESE will provide a high capacity, highly networked, secure, cost effective, scalable, and accessible data store that lowers barriers to research, collaboration, and information sharing within and beyond the participating multi-university community. Some examples of NESE projects that will be early users of NESE include one of the four US Tier 2 centers that store and process ATLAS data from the Large Hadron Collider; the Center for Brain Science at Harvard University, which is generating 300 million micron-resolution images to map the billion neurons and synapses that make up a cubic millimeter of the human brain; and MIT collaborations with NASA and DARPA in next generation global ocean modeling and monitoring systems. NESE addresses several critical infrastructural challenges: the creation of a sustainable multi-institutional resource; advancement of methods for data retention, management, and access to sensitive research data; implementation of controls that simplify protection of sensitive data; and building a sustainable, collaborative operating infrastructure to support future research.This award by the Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Division is jointly supported by the NSF Directorate for Biological Sciences (Division of Biological Infrastructure), and by NSF's Understanding the Brain and BRAIN initiative activities.

研究进展越来越依赖于灵活利用大量数字信息的可用存储容量。 North East Storage Exchange (NESE) 项目创建了下一代存储基础设施，专门致力于在经常涉及 PB 级信息的项目中实现新水平的协作研究。该存储交换将与连接哈佛大学、波士顿大学、麻省理工学院 (MIT)、东北大学和马萨诸塞大学系统的计算和网络基础设施集成。该项目有助于建设国家数据基础设施，以支持医疗保健、流行病学、物理学和地球科学等优先主题的高级研究。NESE 将提供高容量、高度网络化、安全、成本效益高、可扩展和可访问的数据存储可降低参与的多所大学社区内部和外部的研究、协作和信息共享的障碍。 NESE 项目的一些示例将成为 NESE 的早期用户，其中包括存储和处理来自大型强子对撞机的 ATLAS 数据的四个美国二级中心之一；哈佛大学脑科学中心正在生成 3 亿微米分辨率的图像，以绘制构成人脑一立方毫米的十亿个神经元和突触的图谱；麻省理工学院与 NASA 和 DARPA 合作开发下一代全球海洋建模和监测系统。 NESE 解决了几个关键的基础设施挑战：创建可持续的多机构资源；改进数据保留、管理和访问敏感研究数据的方法；实施简化敏感数据保护的控制措施；该奖项由高级网络基础设施部门颁发，并得到 NSF 生物科学理事会（生物基础设施部门）以及 NSF 理解大脑和 BRAIN 倡议活动的共同支持。
