OSU Science DMZ (Logical Diagram) 2

Equipment Purchase and Locations 100 Gbps border router – connect to OARnet-Internet2 peered network –Science DMZ Location at OSU Border: KRC; Vendor: Looking at Juniper, Cisco, Arista and Brocade offerings for Year 2 and beyond OpenFlow switches – configure VLANs to remote sites (e.g., MU, GENI) –Locations: 1 at Science DMZ border, and 3 at inner-campus “aggregation” points that reach all researchers; Vendors: NEC, Dell, Brocade perfSONAR measurement points – collect end-to-end performance metrics –Locations: 1 at Science DMZ border, and at 3 or 4 inner-campus locations to reach research labs in primary use cases (e.g., Physics, Med Center, CS Dept.) Data transfer nodes – wide-area RDMA-based, GridFTP technologies –Locations: Same plan as perfSONAR measurement points Policy-directory server – enforces researchers’ project-specific policies –Location: Coupled with OpenFlow controller and located at Science DMZ border Bro Cluster – investigate the tradeoffs to be balanced between researcher flow performance and campus security practices –Location: Coupled with all equipment at Science DMZ border; Deploy in Year 2 3

OSU-MU GENI Experiments POC: Jay Young – Common testbed setup tasks –Federation of Ohio State U and U of Missouri - Columbia Science DMZs User accounts/roles; single sign-on; authorization policies –End-to-end (programmable) perfSONAR instrumentation & measurement –Establishment of VLAN extensions and GENI experimentation over Internet2 –Experiments with optimized large data transfers with RoCE and iWARP Research Use Case: Soybean translational genomics and breeding –MU “Soybean KB” ( database and “Brain Explorer” experiments with OSU for set up of GENI slices to dynamically change user load patterns from remote campuses –Service response time analysis of distributed databases, web-services for remote user access’ scalability, imaging computation speed/accuracy Researchers: –D.
