The team behind the software powering our Nectar Research Cloud

29 April 2019

"The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) Nectar Research Cloud’s self-service structure allows users to access and analyse their own data at any time, create dedicated virtual servers on demand, and collaborate with others from their desktop in a fast and efficient way. Behind this infrastructure, there are many things running in the background to ensure our users can store, access, and process their research data, remotely, rapidly and autonomously."

"The software is run by the ARDC Core Services team in collaboration with technical staff at each of the Nectar Research Cloud’s federation sites (TPAC, QCIF, Intersect , NCI, Monash and UoM nodes, and the Swinburne University and University of Auckland sites). Together, they not only support and build upon the Research Cloud, but they’re the driving force behind the ARDC’s eHelp support site, a self-help portal that features a dedicated cloud and data storage knowledge base along with multi-channelled support services. This portal is staffed by these federation members, meaning local support to our Research Cloud users is always available."
