Spotlight on Events

OhioX is pleased to announce a Road Show series where members will be touring and highlighting destinations, companies, and organizations across the state that are doing all sorts of interesting and innovative things that make Ohio a tech hub.

The first stop is a visit to the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) housed at the State of Ohio Computer Center (SOCC) located on the west end of The Ohio State University campus. This facility is the largest state-owned facility of its kind in the Midwest. The state-of-the-art facility provides shared security, climate control and fully redundant electrical and mechanical support systems for a number of Ohio government agencies. The facility contains 360,000 square feet of space including 225,000 square feet of raised floor computer room. OSC currently has approximately 10,000 square feet of space in the facility with total usable power capacity of approximately 1,200 kilowatts.

OSC tour attendees will see a modern data center with large racks of computers, various data storage servers, specialty HVAC and power systems, and will learn more about the 37-year history of this truly unique state-owned asset available to state of Ohio researchers.
