Conventional networks, by contrast, employ a star or “hub and spoke” model in which each node of the network is connected to a central point, such as a router or a switch. In a mesh network, the connections between nodes in a mesh network can be wired, but more commonly they are wireless.Wed, 09 Mar 2016 03:06:09 Z{1EEEE568-9E70-49C0-A462-A71DDA42D12D}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2016/2/educause-core-data-service-2015-almanacsThese two-page, easy-to-scan summaries distill CDS data in a variety of categories that include IT financials, staffing, and services, and many other service areas.Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:51:10 Z{4BDFC9AF-FA97-4A98-B59E-84A5097D3CBD}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2015/11/science-dmz-ecarwg-technology-spotlightScience DMZ provides a network-architecture approach optimized for high-performance scientific applications and the transfer of large research data sets over high-speed wide area networks.Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:38:08 Z{E413F773-0DA7-41DF-81A8-45C32D59D1E2}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2015/4/2015-acutanacubo-state-of-resnet-reportThe 2015 report is a comprehensive survey designed to measure the broad variation in practice and policy within higher education and lay the groundwork for long-term trend analysis and benchmarking.Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:37:39 Z{2104D195-451B-4D5D-B0E7-8D289DEBB301}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2015/2/educause-core-data-service-2014-almanacsThese two-page, easy-to-scan summaries distill CDS data in a variety of categories that include IT financials, staffing, and services, and many other service areas.Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:38:02 Z{5B41FA73-F194-4D31-9944-6B036142A42D}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2015/1/higher-educations-top-10-strategic-technologies-for-2015Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:38:03 Z{CC37F028-2442-4D3F-86BB-17C448BC0341}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2014/12/the-promise-and-reality-of-sdnThis paper is a joint publication of the ECAR Campus Cyberinfrastructure (ECAR-CCI) and Communications Infrastructure and Applications (ECAR-CIA) working groups.Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:37:15 Z{E3B27479-6F9E-483E-BD9B-B49E5A57D50F}https://library.educause.edu/resources/2014/9/big-data-in-the-campus-landscapeThis series is a publication of the ECAR Campus Cyberinfrastructure (ECAR-CCI) Working Group.
