Implementation of a Science DMZ at San Diego State University Facilitate high-performance data transfer for scientific applications Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 10K (core device) Two Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6900s (satellite devices) Dedicated and independent 10GE uplink to Internet2 and ESnet via CENIC Optimized network for high-volume bulk transfer of scientific datasets Unencumbered, high-speed access to online scientific applications and data
generated at SDSU External access to science resources not impacted by regular “enterprise” or
business class Internet traffic Focus on “BigData” Intensive Science: earthquake rupture and wave
propagation, parallel 3D unified curvilinear coastal ocean modeling, geologic sequestration simulation of supercritical CO2, large-scale proteomic data, bioinformatics of gene promoter analysis, microbial metagenomics, and high-order PSIC methods for simulation of pulse detonation engines
Network performance measurement based on the PerfSONAR framework InCommon Federation global federated system for identity management and
authentication to DMZ connected hosts and services

Science DMZ Infrastructure
• Alcatel-Lucent 10 and 40 Gbps switching devices, per CSU policy
• DMZ spans four campus buildings: Administration, Life Sciences (CSRC Data Center), Education & Business Administration (UCO Data Center), and Chemical Sciences (VizCenter)
• Primary users: CSRC affiliated faculty and students
• AL OmniVista 2500 for network management
• HPR connection purchased on 1/2, all AL equipment scheduled for 1/14
