The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) Nectar Research Cloud enables access to national computing infrastructure, software, and support to conduct data analysis at scale across multiple research disciplines. This fast, interactive, and self-service platform allows national and international collaboration; as well as the deployment and hosting of services, such as databases, data repositories, web portals and tools, and large-scale research platforms or virtual research environments.
The ARDC also offers many online tutorials and comprehensive support guides.
Nectar is useful for national projects and/or projects which require collaboration with users external to the university. For other projects, Melbourne Research Cloud is recommended.
