The UPR-RP Science DMZ has the IPv6 internet protocol, and we are now working on the Multicast setup.  In march 25, 2015 the final configuration to route IPv6 was finished and we are finally routing traffic through IPv6.  Roberto Garcia assigned the network block to the UPR-RP Science DMZ network and we have tested the configuration doing a ping6 test to www.kame.net and a traceroute6 from our network to a public google IPv6 DNS finally no IPv6 test would be finished without displaying the dancing turtle.

Once all servers were recieved, we started a clean Centos 6.5 installation with 7TB of Space for  Gluster  and 5TB of space for  Tahoe .  In Gluster the configuration is stripped replicated, so the data is stripped between three bricks and replicated. And in Tahoe the data is is needed only in two out of six servers.

  Humberto Ortiz published a blog with a comparison of his experience transfering Next generation sequencing data from the commodity UPRRP network to the HPCf, and from the new Science DMZ network to the HPCf.    

 10GbE transfer between computers in different buildings of the campus towards a computer in the Computer Science Department    

Intel 10GbE NICs arrived and we performed our first 10GbE transfer between two computers in the Computer Science department.    

The Network equipment arrived on February 12, 2014.

The project seeks to accelerate adoption of advanced networking at the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras (UPR-RP) through targeted investment in networking equipment and establishment of a firewall-less network, or Science DMZ.
