Networking

The Scientific Computing Division provides a vital service to the atmospheric and oceanographic research communities by linking supercomputing resources (including mass storage systems and other data communication resources) to scientists at NCAR and throughout the university research community. These activities are essential to the effective use of NCAR/UCAR's scientific resources, and they foster the overall advancement of scientific inquiry

SCD supports over 117 logical networks, approximately 210 monitorable network devices, and over 3000 network-attached devices at NCAR/UCAR.

SCD also supports the networking portion of advanced projects that are a product of outside or interagency funding. Regional, national, and international networking project support are included in this category.
