Please see an invitation to learn more about ARDC's Nectar Research Cloud.
The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to a showcase of the ARDC Nectar Research Cloud in Adelaide.
The ARDC Nectar Research Cloud (Nectar) is Australia’s national research cloud for researchers and research institutions. It provides fast, interactive, self-service access to large-scale computing infrastructure, software and data. It is also a powerful platform for collaboration. Since its launch in 2012, it has enabled over 25,000 users to work on more than 5,500 projects. Nectar also powers national services for virtual desktops, Jupyter Notebooks, BinderHub and GPUs. It’s easy to access at no cost to eligible researchers.
With the launch of the new Adelaide node of Nectar, we’re showcasing how researchers and research support professionals can harness the power of Nectar for research.
