High-speed connectivity to remote state and national cyberinfrastructure resources such as advanced computing systems, data stores, and scientific instrumentation is crucial in states like South Dakota. For this project, the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) and Black Hills State University (BHSU) are collaborating with the University of South Dakota (USD) to transform the way campus and state networks are designed and operated by addressing the unique challenges of deploying accessible cyberinfrastructure in a rural state. Specifically, SDSM&T and BHSU are building out campus network infrastructure in support of multidisciplinary research and education including: advanced imaging and microscopy, underground science, weather prediction, and high throughput genetic sequencing.With a system architecture conceived and designed in year 1 and deployed in year 2 this project aims to increase STEM research and education productivity in western South Dakota by re-architecting campus networks and regional aggregation points so that they are optimized for current and future research and education applications. Architectural characteristics include aspects of the Science DMZ approach to streamline academic data flows; improved wired and wireless connections within and between science buildings and the network core; network measurement leveraging existing campus edge PerfSONAR nodes as well as new nodes at each campus core; data transfer nodes based on the Flash IO Network Appliance; and Globus middleware for data movement. With guidance from state, regional, and national advisors this collaboration is establishing an aggregation model for accessible cyberinfrastructure in rural regions where under-resourced institutions are the norm.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在南达科他州等州，与远程州和国家网络基础设施资源（例如先进计算系统、数据存储和科学仪器）的高速连接至关重要。对于该项目，南达科他州矿业与技术学院 (SDSM&T) 和布莱克山州立大学 (BHSU) 正在与南达科他州大学 (USD) 合作，通过解决独特的问题来改变校园和州网络的设计和运营方式。在农村国家部署可访问的网络基础设施的挑战。具体来说，SDSM&T 和 BHSU 正在建设校园网络基础设施，以支持多学科研究和教育，包括：先进成像和显微镜、地下科学、天气预报和高通量基因测序。系统架构在第一年构思和设计，并在第二年，该项目旨在通过重新架构校园网络和区域聚合点，使其针对当前和未来的研究和教育应用进行优化，从而提高南达科他州西部的 STEM 研究和教育生产力。架构特征包括科学 DMZ 方法简化学术数据流的各个方面；改进了科学大楼和网络核心内部以及之间的有线和无线连接；利用现有园区边缘 PerfSONAR 节点以及每个园区核心的新节点进行网络测量；基于Flash IO Network Appliance的数据传输节点；和用于数据移动的 Globus 中间件。在州、地区和国家顾问的指导下，此次合作正在为农村地区的可访问网络基础设施建立聚合模型，这些地区的机构资源不足。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的评估进行评估，认为值得支持。智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
