Indiana is the first state to launch a high-speed 100-gigabits-per-second (Gbps) network link dedicated to research and education. The new network, named Monon100, is 10 times faster than the current network link. With it, scientists and medical researchers will be able to rapidly share the massive amounts of data created by modern digital instruments such as gene sequencers, powerful microscopes or the Large Hadron Collider.

An Indiana University team recently set out to address a major concern of data-intensive research: How can we move massive amounts of data to supercomputing facilities for analysis? The team demonstrated data transfer over an experimental 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) network—taking advantage of a link ten times faster than most in use today.

The board of directors of OpenSFS, the Lustre community group in North America, has voted to fund Indiana University (IU) to develop features that will enhance the usability of the Lustre file system across wide area networks (WANs). OpenSFS is a non-profit technical organization dedicated to the promotion and development of Lustre in high performance computing (HPC) environments.
