  campuses.
• Leverage this rapid network infrastructure for purposes of research
  collaboration and biomedical education between UMDNJ campuses and with
  other academic institutions and industry.
• Develop new software technologies to advance research collaboration
  and biomedical education initiatives.
• Enable large file transfer between collaborators or into storage tiers.
• CPU resource sharing over a campus grid infrastructure.
