OWC
OWC builds reliable docking, connectivity, and storage that simplify the device estate and equip creative teaching spaces across Mac, PC, Chromebook, and iPad.
Who are OWC?
Other World Computing (OWC) has built professional-grade connectivity, storage, and memory products for more than 35 years.
Independent and founder-led since 1988, OWC pairs deep cross-platform expertise with hardware designed to last, which makes it a natural fit for education estates running a mix of Mac, Windows, Chromebook, and iPad devices.
OWC docks and adapters turn a single cable into a full workstation for shared desks, classrooms, labs, and lecture spaces, while its capture and storage range equips media, film, and photography departments with the same tools students will see in industry.
Sustainability is built in rather than bolted on: OWC is a net producer of renewable energy, operates a LEED Platinum facility, and designs products to extend the life of existing technology, which aligns closely with a circular IT approach.
Converge is a proud OWC Gold Partner. We recommend OWC for reliable, built-to-last connectivity and storage, and for a sustainability record that matches our own commitment to circular IT.
