This project funds Shepherd University to deploy a new network cyberinfrastructure dedicated to data-driven research. It will greatly improve access to national shared collaborative resources for science and engineering research and education. The network cyberinfrastructure will provision a connection to national research and educational networks. The network cyberinfrastructure also provisions a Science DMZ, which is a network component that enables high volume data transfers along with high security to support advanced data intensive research. The new cyberinfrastructure will become an integral component of a larger upgrade effort and is helping to define broader objectives for transforming the old low-throughput network architecture into a modern high-performance, resilient resource. The deployment positively impacts the local campus community and the state of West Virginia.This project adds 10 Gbps to the existing campus 1 Gbps bandwidth, deploys modern Layer 3 and Layer 2 network architecture, instruments three STEM buildings, provisions a last-mile connection to regional optical networks and provides full integration with the Internet2 national backbone. The new network cyberinfrastructure will increase the ability of Shepherd University to attract, hire, and retain faculty whose research is data intensive and will improve the attractiveness of the university to students in technology and the data dependent fields.This award by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

该项目为牧羊大学提供资金，以部署专门用于数据驱动研究的新网络网络基础结构。 它将大大提高获得国家共享协作资源的科学和工程研究和教育的访问。 网络网络基础设施将与国家研究和教育网络建立联系。 网络网络基础结构还提供了科学DMZ，该网络组件可实现大量数据传输以及高安全性，以支持高级数据密集型研究。 新的网络基础结构将成为更大升级工作的组成部分，并正在帮助定义更广泛的目标，以将旧的低通量网络体系结构转换为现代的高性能，弹性资源。部署对当地校园社区和西弗吉尼亚州产生了积极影响。该项目向现有的校园1 Gbps带宽增加了10 Gbps区域光网络，并与Internet2国家骨干网提供完全集成。 新的网络网络基础设施将提高牧羊大学吸引，雇用和保留其研究密集的教师的能力，并将提高大学对技术和数据依赖领域的吸引力。既定计划刺激竞争研究（EPSCOR）共同支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
