Your Platform, Your Community, Your Organization
No matter your size or mission, Internet2 gives your institution access to high-performance infrastructure that no single college or university can build on their own. You are part of an organization that is dedicated to serving your collective research and education needs.
Today’s Challenges
Colleges and universities are being asked to do more with less. Small institutions can and must remain agile and operate efficiently and securely by leveraging state-of-the-art technologies for remote teaching and learning. Resources are scarce and operational environments are evolving daily. Going it alone, small institutions may not have the influence to shape the future of network, cloud, and compute environments. However, by leveraging the scale and collaboration of a consortium, individual voices combine to be quite powerful.
