NEES's Information Technology (NEESit)

pubneesit1NEES is a collaboratory, a distributed laboratory with pieces located all over the country. NEESit is the special, advanced Information Technology (IT) that serves as glue, allowing the facilities to work as a single system. NEESit's network links earthquake researchers across the U.S. with state-of- the-art computers, databases, and laboratory equipment. This makes it possible for researchers to run experiments using remote labs and computers, and to work with colleagues around the globe in planning and analyzing experiments.

What NEESit Does

A central goal of the NEES program is to enable remote collaborations involving people around the country and around the globe. This means that "remote users" - including not just researchers, but practicing engineers, students, or even classrooms of schoolchildren - can use NEES's advanced IT capabilities to interact, share information, and observe experiments as they run in NEES's laboratory facilities. What makes this all possible is the advanced communication capabilities of NEESit.
