Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing resources. With cloud computing, you can  quickly take advantage of powerful computing and large-scale storage without the need for specialised IT knowledge. Researchers can build and use software tools, process, share and analyse data, or host online research applications. 

UNE, through Intersect, offers two compute clouds designed for research: 

  • NeCTAR Research Cloud provides small to medium-sized Virtual Machines (VMs) that are more suited to less compute-intensive research applications. 
  • Intersect OwnTime provides larger VMs for more compute-intensive applications.
