Meet NWHTC, the team behind ComputeHub
Build a platform for everyone
We started NWHTC (Northwest High Throughput Computing) as we saw an opportunity to do better in the cloud computing market. The big players were expensive, had poor customer service, and lackluster user interfaces. We believed that there was a need in the market for a platform that could provide the advanced options required by programmers while still being simple enough for the less-technical user—all while providing a superior customer experience at a low price point friendly on the wallet.
So we built ComputeHub, a state-of-the-art cloud computing platform with a simple user interface that provides advanced configuration options. ComputeHub provides you a scalable platform to get your computing tasks done at a low and transparent cost—so you will never be surprised by what you are paying for.
However, we know we aren’t perfect and that there is always room for improvement. That is why we take your feedback seriously when it comes to making our platform better and adding features that add value for you. Never feel shy to let us know if you don’t like something or have an idea for a specific feature that will make your life easier.
