About the Author
Jay Etchings is the director of Operations for Research Computing at Arizona State University (ASU). Research Computing is a new initiative led by the university's most senior leaders addressing fluid technical environments that support highly computational workloads, petascale data analysis, next-generation cybercapabilities, and emerging network innovation such as 100Gbps Internet2 and Science DMZ. It is a mission to architect, develop, deploy, and support innovative architectures addressing emerging challenges of fourth-paradigm science. Research Computing serves the ASU research community and also publishes on its original research initiatives and presents at conferences and events. Current projects include development and support of next-generation big data solutions for research medicine; the Hortonworks–Mayo–ASU genomics platform; development of biomedical informatics tool sets for use in highly parallel environments; and OpenStack Cloud development for life sciences utilizing Big Data ecosystem components (data-intensive research), including integration and advancement of the Internet2 Innovation platform, extension of ubiquitous research compute to all, and the proliferation of software-defined networking. Mr. Etchings also has appointments with the Open Daylight Foundation (Linux Foundation), the Open Networking Foundation, Internet2, and the Open Fog Consortium and has served at the National Science Foundation as a proposal panel reviewer.
