The NPDN IT Network is a complex distributed system managing all types of information and communications in a secure and a reliable manner. The NPDN is coordinating and collecting diagnostic records from designated laboratories at Land Grant Universities, state departments of agriculture, and state and federal regulatory laboratories. This is a coordinated effort among the five Regional Plant Diagnostic centers and Purdue to mutually develop, maintain, and service a network of storage, management, and processing of plant diagnostic data in order to better detect and diagnose plant health problems and safeguard against newly introduced and re-emerging pathogens. Other IT components, which included such items as security assessment, secured communications module, exercise scenario module, etc. which supported the mission of the NPDN were implemented.
