MAX is the Mid-Atlantic region’s source for ultra high speed research and education (R&E) networking. We provide both 1 and 10Gbit/sec (and soon, 100Gbit/sec) Ethernet connections to the major universities, research institutions, government labs and federal agencies that enable them to perform data-intensive, cutting-edge projects with one another. We exist to enable and foster collaboration between our members across the network. Beyond the Capital Region, we serve as the onramp to both the Internet2 and the National Lambda Rail backbones with the full suite of services provided by each network available. If you’re trying to collaborate on a data-intensive project with another research institution in a different part of the country, we have several solutions available to help you make that happen. See Production Services for more details.
