ABSTRACT Data intensive science discovery at a global scale has imposed new requirements on the speed and management of international research and education networks. At the connection points of these international networks, it is critical to measure the network data flows to understand network traffic patterns, identify network anomalies and…
CC*DNI Networking Infrastructure: An Software Defined Networking-Enabled Research Infrastructure
ABSTRACT For a growing number of data-intensive research projects spanning a wide range of disciplines, high-speed network access to computation and storage -- located either locally in the campus or in the cloud (e.g., at national labs) -- has become critical to the research. While old, slow, campus network infrastructure…
CICI: Secure and Resilient Architecture: NetSecOps — Policy-Driven, Knowledge-Centric, Holistic Network Security Operations Architecture
ABSTRACT Network infrastructure at University campuses is complex and sophisticated, often supporting a mix of enterprise, academic, student, research, and healthcare data, each having its own distinct security, privacy, and priority policies. Securing this complex and highly dynamic environment is extremely challenging, particularly since campus infrastructures are increasingly under attack…
MRI: Acquisition of the Kentucky Research Informatics Cloud (KyRIC)
ABSTRACT This project will create a big data cloud infrastructure, the Kentucky Research Informatics Cloud (KyRIC), to accelerate data-driven discovery and computational research education across multiple disciplines. Scientific discovery today is being enabled through computational and data intensive research that exploits enormous amounts of available data. KyRIC will advance a…
