Camber is on a mission to build the scientific research cloud, used across all disciplines of inquiry, from astrophysics to genomics. Currently, distributed scientific workloads are nearly 100% on-premise, making computation for researchers limited in scope, with long iteration cycles. Our fully managed, infrastructure-free platform allows researchers to deploy on-demand fully managed instances for distributed scientific simulations and data analysis. In addition, we offer managed engines of popular scientific packages, increasing accessibility for researchers, while expanding the reach of package publishers. We’re based in San Francisco.
