About myresearchcloud.ca — A Sovereign Cloud for Canadian Research

Equitable Access, Built to Compliment Canada’s HPC Ecosystem

myresearchcloud.ca is Canada’s nonprofit research cloud, operated by Computing for Humanity in partnership with ThinkOn.

We were created to extend, not replace, the nation’s academic and HPC resources — ensuring that every researcher, student, and citizen scientist has access to secure, Canadian-hosted computing when institutional or allocation-based systems aren’t available.

Empowering Researchers, Students & Citizen Scientists

Our mission is simple: empower Canadian research through sovereign, sustainable, and community-funded digital infrastructure.

By combining donated hardware, open-source software, and renewable-aware hosting, we deliver enterprise-grade compute and storage for free or at cost-recovery rates — always in collaboration with Canada’s universities, research institutes, and public cloud partners.

Complementary, Mission-aligned Cloud Options for Research

myresearchcloud.ca works alongside Canada’s public research and HPC infrastructure to close access gaps and promote interoperability. Researchers who already use institutional or national clusters can rely on myresearchcloud.ca for persistent environments, data stewardship, AI training, and long-term storage — keeping sensitive and sovereign data securely within Canada.

Hosted in Canada. Built for Mission Alignment & Trust.

Every dollar, server, and partnership directly supports Canadian science and education.
Our nonprofit model keeps research capacity, data, and innovation within Canada — reducing waste, advancing sustainability, and strengthening the ecosystem that enables discovery.
