DSU Plays Role in REED Network Outlined in Governor's Budget Address

South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds outlined the High Speed Research, Education and Economic Development Network (High Speed REED) in his budget address to the 2008 Legislature in Pierre. The network will connect each of the six university campuses, the University Center in Sioux Falls, EROS, state government and the underground laboratory being developed at the Homestake mine site in Lead

The High Speed REED Network will give the universities and research centers the ability to share massive amounts of research data quickly with scientists worldwide by utilizing the highest network speeds available.  Associated with the REED Network is a research computer cluster which will support the computational and data storage needs of the South Dakota research community.  This supercomputing equipment will be hosted by DSU in the University’s high-security server room. In this same facility, the University already hosts the K-12 Data Center which supports e-mail, web-hosting, curriculum management and other services for the state’s K-12 school districts.
