![Page 4: The OSU Network and Your Research...• Direct access to OHSU, UO, PSU via the In-State network, connected together in Portland. • Fast access to many research institution in US](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071117/6001d61b397dcc746b2072f2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Many research-related buildings have networks run by various departmental IT organizations.
• CEOAS• Engineering• Forestry• Science• Ag. Science
Port-speeds and capacity vary by building & network. IS works with dept. IT:
• brings 10G core feed to building/department• placement of wifi• cabling standards
Please contact your IT support provider to find out more details.

• New CoreDesigned to be redundant, scalable, secure. 10Gbps to most buildings not served by a departmental network.
• WifiAbout 50% high density Wireless-AC.Total about 2000+ access points (excl Residence Halls).Centrally managed by IS.
• Remote Campus networksHMSCOSU Cascades
OSU ‘commodity’ Networks
![Page 6: The OSU Network and Your Research...• Direct access to OHSU, UO, PSU via the In-State network, connected together in Portland. • Fast access to many research institution in US](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071117/6001d61b397dcc746b2072f2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Funded by NSF grant.
• Fast, 40G, connections between research data centers.
• Isolates research data from student and enterprise traffic
• This allows for much faster moving of data on campus
Eg.:
2TB of data @ 1Gbps ⇒ just under 5 hours to transfer.
2TB @ 10Gbps ⇒ about 30 minutes.
2TB @ 40Gbps ⇒ just over 7 minutes!

Upcoming Large IS Investments
$10M debt service funding for:
Outside / underground plant, benefits to you:
• Secondary communications hub on west side.Will provide some redundancy to network services.
• Alternate fiber route fiber to key buildings. Will provide continuing services should main hub in Kerr fail.
Inside buildings, benefits to you:
• Building wiring upgrades in Nash, Ballard, Moreland, others as funding allows
• In-building fiber upgrades to allow for future growth(40G, 100G, and beyond)
