GW’s Capital Area Advanced Research and Education Network (CAAREN) opens the door to world-class research for government, education and research organizations, as well as some private-sector organizations in D.C. and Virginia. CAAREN’s access to the Internet2 100Gbps fiber optic network allows member institutions to provide their communities with telemedicine, distance learning and other life- changing applications.

Faculty research is strengthened by the university’s investment in GW High Performance Computing, a high-performance computing cluster and storage resource that provides big data initiatives with cutting-edge computing, network capacity and engineering services.
