The Purdue Research Data Network is a high-speed network infrastructure designed to facilitate transfer of the large quantities of data produced by and analyzed on Purdue's high-performance computing systems. Based on the Energy Sciences Network (ESNet)'s Science DMZ Model, the research network connects to statewide or national research network infrastructures like iLight and Internet2.

Some facts about the Research Data Network:

• 400 Gb/second connection primary path to national research networks and a 100 Gb/second secondary path
• 160 Gb/second of bandwidth to central Research Data Depot storage
• 160 Gb/second of bandwidth to each computational system

Labs and instruments with requirements for high-bandwidth connections to research storage or computing resources are eligible to directly peer to the research network. Please contact help to discuss costs and other considerations.
