Policy
• UTS On-site storagewith (300TB and growing)
• OxygenCloud Encrypted storage cloud (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iP*, web) http://eresearch.uts.edu.au/oxygencloud/
• Cloudstor file exchange
• ARCS National Data Grid storage available to all researchers (via AAF)
• RDSI – data sets of national significance (100PB)
Storage options
• UTS Blade farm of VM servers for Research (1.5TB RAM, 256 cores, 10Gbps fibre connection)
• UTS HPC - 280 cores + 4noe 64 core Tesla GPU (same management as McLaren cluster at Intersect)
• McLaren HPC cluster (Intersect)
• NeCTAR research cloud (self-serve)
• NCI – 58,000 cores (Canberra)
Compute options
ref;: G.Gardiner
• The Australian Access Federation
• Researchers use their home institution Login to access a growing number of participating services and resources (currently 34 services across ANZ)
AAF – Federated Identity
• ARCS collaboration services
• Access Grid (Building 1 and Building 10)
• Data Grid – (now the RDSI Data Grid)
• 4x5 Optiportals Buildings 4 & 10
• OxygenCloud – in-house shared, encrypted cloud storage
• sakai collaboration space
• Atlassian Confluence
• AAF IdP servers
Collaboration
• AARNET
• eduroam
• Internal UTS network well connected (10Gb/s)
• Special cases (eg sensor tower)
Network
• DC18 Data Capture and MS22 Metadata Store Projects • MS22 - Develop a Research Data Catalogue
• management, administration
• re-use of research datasets
• DC18 - Description of datasets by automated capture and manual data entry
• Harvest of metadata feeds
• initially by ANDS but potentially by other aggregation and discovery services
• Preservation and curation of research data
ANDS Projects – Research Data Catalogue
