- University of South Carolina
- Online
- Link will be published soon
Overview
Please join us for this free virtual workshop on Wednesday March 22 and Wednesday March 29, from 01:00PM to 05:00PM ET to learn more tools and techniques for data cyberinfrastructure (CI) data movement, high-performance networks, perfSONAR, BGP, and more. Learn about science demilitarized zones (Science DMZs) and how to partner with researchers, instructors, and students.
Goals
The goals of the workshop are to help CI engineers, operational staff, managers, researchers, and students build upon their existing knowledge of CI and high-speed networks, to enable data movement for the purposes of research and education. The research and instruction efforts that are taking place in our institutions rely on network enhancements and with the enhancements the need for performance and monitoring tools.
Intended Audience
The audience of this workshop includes CI engineers, operational staff, managers, researchers, and students interested in high-performance networks.
Pre-requisites
Training activities will be conducted using a virtual platform. Attendees will be provided access to the platform.
