SciNet Research Network
UA SciNet is designed to support the rapid expansion of research across multiple sciences and engineering disciplines. UA SciNet is based on the design patterns and best practices emerging from Internet2 and ESNet. UA SciNet is an isolated network connecting to the UA wide-area network at the campus network border. It provides 10/40 Gbps connections between active data-intensive science areas and high-performance computing and research storage resources. It provides a bandwidth increase for research and lays the foundation for 100 Gbps connectivity to the wide-area network via the UA System Regional Optical (UAS-RON) network and Southern Crossroads services. It includes a robust performance monitoring and problem resolution component using perfSONAR. It aims to use wide-area remote DMA (RDMA) to achieve high-bandwidth remote access to UA Big Data resources.
HIPAA Network
For researchers working with HIPAA and other personally-identifiable data, UA provides a HIPAA network exclusively for desktops and servers hosting, or used to work with, these data.
