For the MGHPCC, high-performance computing is only part of the story. Equally important is the ability to move data quickly and reliably between researchers, institutions, and scientific facilities. That's where Internet2 comes in. Through its regional network and connector members, Internet2 links more than 60,000 U.S. educational, research, government, and community anchor institutions, from K-12 schools and community colleges to universities, libraries, museums, and healthcare organizations, including MGHPCC.

As a major research computing hub in New England, MGHPCC plays an important regional role, providing both advanced computing resources and connectivity for its member institutions and research partners. Through high-speed connections to Internet2 and regional networks, MGHPCC helps researchers collaborate across campuses, access remote resources, and move the large datasets that drive modern science.
