Title:
"Performant Perimeter Security: A Foundation for Data Intensive Science"
Abstract:
The capability of a high performance network perimeter is critically dependent on its security design. This presentation will cover best practices for designing high performance networks that can be operated safely while delivering the performance that modern science demands. In addition, real-world examples of the impact of high performance design on science workflows will be described, including the use of HPC and Cloud systems.
Bio:
Eli Dart is a network engineer in the ESnet Science Engagement Group, which seeks to use advanced networking to improve scientific productivity and science outcomes for the DOE science facilities, their users, and their collaborators. Eli is a primary advocate for the Science DMZ design pattern and works with facilities, laboratories, universities, science collaborations, and science programs to deploy data-intensive science infrastructure based on the Science DMZ model. Eli is also a key contributor to the ESnet network requirements program, which collects, synthesizes, and aggregates the networking needs of the science programs ESnet serves.
Eli has over 25 years of experience in network architecture, design, engineering, performance, and security in scientific and research environments. His primary professional interests are high-performance architectures and effective operational models for networks that support scientific missions, and building collaborations to bring about the effective use of high-performance networks by science projects.
