Campus computing
Onshore Edge Compute gives students and faculty an isolated computing environment — an editor, a toolchain, real processor and memory — hosted on their own institution's edge node rather than across an international link.
This page is the front door. Workspaces live at their own addresses.
Each workspace has a hostname made of your institution and the workspace name:
Your lecturer or IT department gives you that address along with your sign-in details. Opening it takes you to your institution's normal sign-in, and then straight into your workspace.
A prepared image per course, so every student starts from the same toolchain and nobody spends a lab session debugging their setup.
Workspaces are created for a cohort, carry an expiry, and are suspended rather than destroyed when that passes. Coursework is not deleted on a clock.
Each workspace is its own machine with enforced processor, memory and disk limits. One student's runaway job cannot starve the cohort.
Network and security teaching gets genuinely isolated virtual networks, with no path to the campus network or to another institution.
Edge Compute is part of Onshore Edge Cloud: applications and data on a right-sized edge node at your campus, with the centrally-managed parts — monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, traffic management — run by Onshore. Teaching and research computing sit on the campus side of that line, which is what makes a practical class independent of the international connection.
Current status. Edge Compute is in pilot with its first institution and is not yet generally available. If your institution is interested in an edge node, discovery starts with a working session rather than a quotation — we would rather size it against your real enrolment, teaching software and connectivity than guess.
