SciNet
Salk Science Network (SciNet)
SciNet is network exclusively devoted to the high-speed transfer of scientific data with 100Gb/s connectivity to the national research and education community and preferred pathways to commercial cloud partners including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
SciNet is a specialized architecture that functions like a high-speed data expressway, separated from the everyday traffic of regular internet use, such as emails, web browsing, and video conferencing. By isolating scientific data traffic, the network ensures that large data transfers, such as single-cell genomic pipeline data or cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) high-resolution imaging data, occur quickly and reliably without the typical slowdowns caused by network congestion.
Additionally, this architecture incorporates advanced security measures, protecting sensitive research data while allowing seamless access to remote computing resources and collaborative platforms. As a result, SciNet significantly enhances the efficiency and speed of data-intensive scientific research, empowering researchers to focus more on analysis and discovery rather than on the logistics of data transfer.
