The WURN is positioned to enhance the university’s cyber infrastructure by creating a campus-wide high speed research network that increases access to, and enables the transport, analysis, and dissemination of, large-volumes of big data within and beyond the university.
How do I know if this is something for me?
- You perform high speed transfers between campuses
- You are you a big data producer or consumer
- You ship hard drives to your collaborators
- Your research would benefit from high-speed connectivity
