OARnet is the regional network for the state of Ohio. It
serves the higher education community, providing Ohio scho-
lars access to colleagues worldwide. OARnet also provides
commercial connectivity to industrial and commercial members
with unrestricted traffic flow between other OARnet members
and the Internet. Libraries, databases, national and inter-
national laboratories, and research centers are accessible,
helping make Ohio schools competitive.
The Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet) was established
in 1987 to provide statewide access to the Cray supercom-
puter at the Ohio Supercomputer Center. Since then it has
evolved into a network supporting all aspects of higher edu-
cation in Ohio. A primary goal of OARnet is to facilitate
collaborative projects and sharing of resources between
institutions, including those outside the state. OARnet
connections are available to Ohio academic institutions and
corporations engaged in reseach, product development, or
instruction. Colleges, universities, and industries
currently use OARnet connections to communicate within the
state and with colleagues around the country.
