Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Providers
CoCalc is a web-based environment that enables real-time collaboration while performing research or teaching computational science.
SageMath, Inc. is the company that creates/maintains the hosted platform https://cocalc.com and distributes software licenses for CoCalc OnPrem: https://onprem.cocalc.com/
CoCalc runs a Ubuntu-based Linux environment, giving users access to shared file systems and the flexibility of a terminal. Jupyter Notebooks in CoCalc are real-time collaborative, just like Google Docs, and the platform runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.
Editors for LaTeX, Markdown, and Quarto are also available. Moreover, you can select from various other IDEs such as VS Code, RStudio (not affiliated with Posit), JupyterLab, Jupyter Classic, and Pluto.

Furthermore, X11 Desktop allows the use of various graphical interfaces, such as Vim, Emacs, Spyder, and even a web browser (Firefox). It has a one-click launcher for many applications and a terminal for full control.
If you need more powerful resources for Machine Learning, training LLMs, or performing computationally intensive tasks or simulations, consider using compute servers for on-demand access to NVIDIA GPUs (H100s, A100s, L40s, T4s, RTX A6000s, and more) and CPU machines. https://doc.cocalc.com/compute_server.html
Our integrations with Google Cloud and Hyperstack allow you to skip the hassle associated with traditional cloud consoles. You can even use local resources or another cloud provider of your choice.
Lastly, CoCalc was built with teaching in mind! We make computationally oriented courses run more smoothly. Please check our dedicated instructor guide https://doc.cocalc.com/teaching-instructors.html and reach out to [email protected] anytime if you have any questions.
