Network Infrastructure: Yale operates a high-performance network infrastructure in support of research computing and HPC. A 100-Gbps Science Network physically connects the HPC datacenter and the two research storage facilities. It also provides a direct connection to the Internet2 through a non-firewalled Science DMZ, currently running at 10 Gbps, but scalable up to 100 Gbps should that be required in the future. Virtual LAN technology is used to segregate access and applications on the network, and 10-Gbps connections are provided via the VLANs to a number of individual laboratory and departmental storage and server facilities. Yale has a separate main campus network based on a 10-Gbps backbone, with most buildings connected via 1-Gbps local networks. The main campus network is currently used for all university purposes other than high-speed data transfer through the Science Network VLANs. It also provides commodity Internet connectivity via multiple 1-Gbps connections from several commercial vendors. Yale connects to the Internet2 via the Connecticut Education Network (CEN), which connects, in turn, to the Northern Crossroads GigaPop (NOX). In addition to the direct connection from the Science DMZ, Yale provides one firewalled 10-Gbps connection from the main campus network. File-sharing Infrastructure: Yale has a site license for the Globus file transfer and sharing software. The YCRC supports a number of endpoints on the HPC clusters. Other Yale departments and laboratories may provide endpoints supported by departmental or IT staff. All endpoints are connected to Science Yale’s Network and Science DMZ to facilitate high-speed data transfer and sharing among Yale, national supercomputing facilities, and other universities with whom Yale researchers collaborate world-wide.
