CASE STUDY Caltech and 2CRSI: Data Transfer Nodes Scientists at research universities and labs around the world are working to understand the human genome, share detailed images of the cosmos, and explain the fundamental particles that make up the universe. This observational science and research generates massive amounts of data— multiple petabytes in some cases. Research facilities are experiencing a growing challenge in distributing their data-intensive science to labs where researchers can work with it. Transferring a petabyte across current networks can take over 24 hours and the data generated from a single experiment can take weeks to transfer from lab to lab, slowing down important research and maxing out a network’s capacity. Addressing this infrastructure challenge, t
