The Science DMZ is a network architecture to support "Big Data". The Science DMZ is typically deployed at or near the local network perimeter, and is optimized for a moderate number of high-speed flows, rather than for general-purpose business systems or “enterprise” computing.
The primary components of a Science DMZ are:
- A high performance Data Transfer Node (DTN)
- A performance monitoring host (.e.g. perfSONAR)
- A high performance router/switch
Optional components include:
- Support for layer-2 circuits
- Support for Software Defined Networking
