ARDC Nectar Research Cloud

The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) Nectar Cloud provides computing infrastructure, software and services that allow Australia’s research community to store, access, and run data, remotely, rapidly and autonomously.

Nectar Cloud’s self-service structure allows users to access their own data at any time and collaborate with others from their desktop in a fast and efficient way. Nectar cloud provides free project trials with two virtual machines for 3 months. If you require more resource you can apply for an allocation through the merit allocation process.
