NEC Advances Research for Open Science

NEC Advances Research Information Infrastructure for Open Science

Providing a Total Solution for Optimal Research

NEC announced that it has launched a new suite of solutions designed for research institutions, such as universities, to promote open science.

By offering a comprehensive set of solutions that enhance competitiveness in research and development and ensure the transparency of research outcomes, NEC aims to contribute to the efficient and effective establishment of research information infrastructure.

In recent years, the trend towards open science, which involves sharing research data across society, has accelerated. As a result, there is a growing demand from research institutions for improved management, storage, and utilization of research data.

Furthermore, as part of enhancing international research competitiveness and ensuring the transparency of research outcomes, there is a rising demand for stronger governance, including requirements for the proper management and storage of research data.

In response, NEC is launching a suite of solutions that enables the efficient and effective creation of RII, from introduction to operation.

Contributing to Enhanced Collaboration with Research Institutions and Accelerated real world Implementation through Advanced Research Information Infrastructure

NEC provides a suite of solutions for the appropriate and efficient utilization of research data throughout the entire lifecycle of research, including data generation, analysis, aggregation, management, publication, and utilization. These solutions contribute to fostering collaboration with universities and research institutions and promoting the real world implementation of research findings.

NEC offers the following solutions:

NEC Ultra-high-speed Data Transfer System This system enables efficient aggregation and sharing of large-scale research data generated by various experimental and measurement facilities and high-performance computing (HPC) simulations. It maximizes network bandwidth and achieves high-speed disk-to-disk data transfer. This solution is effective in scenarios such as sharing large-scale experimental research data, utilizing large-scale data aggregation platforms, and implementing business continuity plans (BCP).
NEC Data Provenance System for HPC This system automatically collects and allows reference to provenance information, such as input/output files and program execution details, in HPC simulations. It allows easy reference to provenance information without special processing during simulation execution, and this information can also be shared with others. This solution is effective in improving research efficiency by clarifying simulation reproduction procedures and simplifying the identification of data to be saved. It is also valuable for presenting data as evidence for papers and for use in collaborative research.
Data Catalog and Portal System for Promoting Research Data Utilization, Including AI-driven Approaches Serving as a portal for RII, this system promotes data aggregation and facilitates data utilization by users and administrators.
Resource Pooling and Remote Resource Utilization System utilizing NEC's proprietary ExpEther (Express Ether) Technology for Reliable, Low-Latency Transmission of IT Device Signals This system enables the utilization of remote computing resources, even for sensitive data that cannot be taken off-site.
