SUMMARY:Building and Sustaining NYU's High Speed Research Network
LOCATION:Main Room\, Metropolitan State University of Denver | CAVEA Theate
 r\, Denver\, CO
DESCRIPTION:Projects like the Holodeck surfaced a problem at NYU: research 
 workflows needed bandwidth and latency the enterprise network was never de
 signed to deliver. The solution developed was the High Speed Research Netw
 ork (HSRN) - a university-funded network built to serve data-intensive and
  latency-sensitive research across the institution\, addressing a range of
  needs beyond those that first exposed the gap. This session covers how th
 at case was made and what followed: why HSRN was built parallel to the ent
 erprise network rather than layered on top\, why a fast network alone prov
 ed insufficient without services like Ceph storage and a Kubernetes edge c
 luster\, and the challenges encountered during its construction and with r
 esearcher adoption. Also included is HSRN's Vertically Integrated Projects
  program\, in which cross-disciplinary student teams take on real operatio
 nal and development work—an approach that addresses the chronic research
  IT staffing problem by building capacity and a talent pipeline simultaneo
 usly. Open discussion follows for attendees facing similar questions on th
 eir own campuses.
