The Research & Education community’s networks have always been the platform upon which new innovations have launched. From the creation of the basic routing protocols that underpin the Internet, to the invention of search, social networking and online media, research and education delivered the platform upon which new applications were built and where whole new classes of sophisticated users developed.
The Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) delivers world-class technologies, information and expertise to benefit academic, government and industrial researchers and boost Ohio's economy. OH-TECH is comprised of three member organizations: the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) and the Ohio Library and Information Network (OhioLINK). We hope to become your resource for news and information on supercomputing, networking and library trends.
