High Speed Research Network
The High Speed Research Network (HSRN) is NYU's cutting-edge, high-throughput computer network managed by Research Technology Services. The HSRN operates independently from NYU's enterprise network (NYU-NET) and is purpose-built to meet the escalating needs of research workflows for flexibility, low latency, and dedicated large bandwidth.Â
Researchers that engage in the following may benefit from HSRN:
Use existing Research Technology Services such as HPC
Big Data Processing
Transferring Large Datasets
Real-time Quantitative Analysis (Closed Loop Systems)
Multimedia Data
Edge Computing
Low Latency Use Cases
To facilitate connection, the HSRN provides 10 Gbps copper upgrades to existing Ethernet outlets, as well as fiber connections up to 100 Gbps directly to specially configured lab servers and workstations. Researchers on the network have dedicated high-bandwidth connectivity between HSRN-enabled buildings, High Performance Computing resources, member institutions of the New York State Educational and Research Network (NYSERNET), Internet2 (R&E), the Internet, and access to certain NYU-NET resources.
A research Faculty Advisory Board (FAB) provides oversight and input to NYU IT regarding HSRN governance, planning, and operations.
