Want to start your own HUB?

We're preparing to release our HUBzero™ platform as an open source package, but we're still working on the installation and documentation. In the mean time, we're providing a hosting service for new HUBs. We will install your new HUB and keep it running in our machine room at the Rosen Center for Advanced Computing. We provide this service not only for Purdue, but for academic institutions and other non-profit organizations throughout the country.
