About Us

Parabon is the most experienced computational grid company in the marketplace.

Parabon Computation, founded in 1999, has hard won expertise in the grid computing industry and a depth of understanding about computational grids not easily found elsewhere in the marketplace.

Our Computation on DemandSM solution is comprised of grid computing platforms, tools, and services, all designed to aggregate computational capacity and deliver it as a utility commodity.

In June of 2000, we launched the Frontier® Grid Platform — the first commercially available grid computing solution. Today, Frontier powers the largest and longest continuously running public grid in the United States — including the Parabon Computation Grid and the Compute Against Cancer® network. In addition to our public grid services, we offer a Frontier Enterprise solution for organizations that want a Computation on DemandSM solution that exclusively uses their existing IT infrastructure.

In addition to the Frontier Grid Platform, Parabon has nine years positive past performance developing Frontier-powered applications and software development toolkits (SDKs), targeting domains as varied as evolutionary computation, decryption, psychometric profiling, genomic sequence comparison, data mining, photorealistic rendering and sequence optimization for self-assembling DNA nanostructures, just to name a few.

Parabon is an American-owned small business with a positive track record of delivering quality products and services on time and within budget, and has an unprecedented understanding of grid computing principals and computational grid operations expertise.
