- 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.
