NYU Holodeck: High-Speed Research Network (GY)
-
Developing a stable, reliable high-bandwidth, low latency network infrastructure

NYU-IT Research Technology is developing and implementing an innovative new High-Speed Research Network (HSRN) to move data imperceptibly fast, enabling NYU researchers to create cutting-edge real-time innovations. One example of these projects is the NSF funded NYU Holodeck which creates 3D real-time renders for communication. To support these projects, the team is developing a stable, reliable, high-bandwidth, low latency network infrastructure called Corelink.
An instance of Corelink currently sits on a fiber optic network connecting many of NYU's physical locations. By contributing to Corelink, you are helping to create a framework that powers much of the real-time research in NYU.
