Trinity College Next Generation Science Network and DMZ
Campus Design: Successes and Challenges in Deploying Cyberinfrastructure in an Under-Resourced Campus Environment
Connecticut's oldest and second oldest institutions of higher education…
12,000 Students$25.4B Endowment$3.6B Operating Budget (~4% in IT spending)
2,400 Students$.5B Endowment.15B Operating Budget (~3.5% in IT spending)
Yale’s IT Spending Exceeds Trinity College’s Operating Budget…1/5th the students and 1/30th the expenditure on technology*
*(numbers may be inexact and are for scale purposes only)
Benefits of Small Liberal Arts• Outside the box research – Merging Science and Arts
• Dynamic Environment
• Student/Faculty Interaction (9:1 Ratio)
• Undergraduate-centric Research
Our Biggest Challenges (Besides Budget)
• People and Focus
NSF Campus Cyberinfrastructure PI and Cybersecurity Innovation for Cyberinfrastructure PI Workshop
October 3-4, 2017 | Albuquerque, NM
Scientific Impact AND Broader Impact:
• Human Connectome Project Research
• Low-Latency Video Conferencing for consortium shared courses
• Undergraduate Biological Science Research
• Citizen Science Wildlife CSI
• Science Community Outreach
• Promote Science DMZ among under-resourced campusesDeliverables:
• Define Campus Need
• Upgrade Regional R&E Connection
• Create High Speed Network Core
• Upgrade Science Buildings
• Create Science DMZ
• Deploy PerfSONAR
• Work with Scientists to fine tune

Trinity College Next Generation Science Network and DMZ
✓ Research Best Methodology
✓ Baseline PerfSONAR node
✓ Upgrade physical Infrastructure
✓ Re-Design Network Architecture
✓ 3 Stage Network Equipment Deployment
✓ Enable Science DMZ
Deploy Production PerfSONAR/DTN
Enable IPv6
Not great, but getting better!
Baseline PerfSONAR Node is still inside firewalled virtualized enterprise datacenter…
Critical Factors for Small Institutions• Leveraging others is important (Internet2 BTR, OIN, ESNet, CEN, and
Vendors)
• Outreach and Focus on Campus Researchers
• Data Transfer Nodes, IPv6, PerfSONAR, InCommon Federation, EduROAM
• Promotion of research networking best practices among peers
• Long tail of NSF Funding
Thank You!
(Seriously, it is a great honor to be part of the NSF CC* Community)
