At the OpenStack Essex Conference (Oct. 2011)

1. National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources nectar.org.au NeCTAR is an Australian Government project conducted as part of the Super Science initiative and financed by the Education Investment Fund. The University of Melbourne has been appointed the lead agent by the Commonwealth of Australia, Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. Objectives: to enhance research collaboration through the development of eResearch infrastructure.

2. The talk today History Community Everett Toews Steven Manos Technology Tom Fifield

3. The birth of NeCTAR The process of research can readily be described in term of how data flows Computational modeling, data analysis, etc. (APAC, NCI, Pawsey) Compute Use tools & apps to work remotely and collaboratively - NeCTAR Combine Keep Keep data and observations, describe, collect, share, find and re-use them – RDSI, ANDS Access

10. Shape of NeCTAR

11. Why build itourselves? 1. Proximity – the honeypot – infrastructure attracts community 2. Local infrastructure is more responsive to research needs 3. Service offering and charging models suitable for research 4. Locality to instruments, research networks and other infrastructure.
