Institutions can now easily connect their faculty and students to information about ACCESS and its resources through the new ACCESS On-Ramps product.
An ACCESS On-Ramp is an inline JavaScript component that organizations embed directly into their websites, providing their member community with streamlined access to available ACCESS resources. The intuitive On-Ramps interface lets viewers browse and filter the set of resources and enables new audiences to smoothly and easily discover the powerful cyberinfrastructure available to them.
On-Ramps allows for easy self-service deployment—essentially copying and pasting a few lines of Javascript into a web page—with most organizations able to implement it independently—though technical assistance is readily available. As one partner noted about the process, “It was so easy!” Another partner said, “The installation process was easy and has been implemented seamlessly by the IT team. We are now ready to access the computing resources and move forward with research.”
The number of institutions leveraging On-Ramps is rapidly growing, with the product currently deployed at the Rocky Mountain Advanced Computing Consortium (RMACC), Illinois Computes at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Baylor University, and Jackson State University.
