Science DMZ

Science DMZ provides a lightweight and high performing on-ramp to the REANNZ international research and education network. It creates a dedicated path that facilitates the transfer of large volumes of data, from multi-gigabyte to petabytes and terabytes, all while retaining the integrity of the data.

The Science DMZ is a portion of the network, built at or near the campus or laboratory's local network perimeter. It is designed so that the equipment, configuration, and security policies are optimised for high-performance scientific applications, rather than for general-purpose business systems or “enterprise” traffic.

The Science DMZ is scalable, incrementally deployable, and easily adaptable to incorporate high performance and advanced technologies such as 100 Gigabit network services and virtual circuits.

REANNZ and the University of Otago worked together to come up with the best solution for their data transfer needs using the Science DMZ. Read more here.
