The iVEC Research Cloud (iVEC NRC) will significantly enhance national and Western Australian research infrastructure by providing a Cloud service that is highly complementary to existing national infrastructure deployed in WA, managed by iVEC. Within WA, the iVEC NRC will replace and significantly expand the existing iVEC Cloud service. Nationally, the iVEC NRC will become part of the federation of NeCTAR Research Cloud services. The iVEC NRC will be able to support researchers nationally and specifically within WA.
