Our Story

In a world where limitless information is only a few clicks away, we believe computing should be just as accessible. 

Our Story

Our History and Vision

In the early 2000s, when smartphones made information accessible anywhere, we had an epiphany: what if you could access supercomputers from anywhere, too? Many years later, this simple idea still guides the work of Open OnDemand, an open-source web portal run by researchers at the Ohio Supercomputer Center and supported by contributors around the world. Our technology has enabled hundreds of institutions to expand access to their supercomputers, transforming the way countless students, researchers, and industry professionals work and learn.
