Computing resources come in different shapes and types, we hope to simplify your access and get your workloads onto the most suitable service.
The University鈥檚 鈥楢rgus鈥� Virtual Research Desktops (VRDs) deliver on-demand, GPU powered, computing resources. It accesses HPC for solving large-scale computational problems and data processing, facilitates fast access to storage of large datasets, and enables graphical processing and visualisation within a graphical user interface.
You can get access to a small dedicated virtual machine (VM) computing environment useful for hosting websites, applications, or databases.
The University offers secure unlimited storage for all your research data. To get access simply fill out a and request RDS access.
The is Australia's national research computing service providing researchers with access to high performance computing, cloud, data, visualisation, and research platform services. We provide technical support and access through the 爆料王 Scheme.

The University has collaborations and affiliations with many commercial computing services. Most services offer some free-tier level of compute. Many are looking for research workloads to test their facilities, and you can always purchase additional time and resources, to scale rapidly for your needs.
We provide support with accessing:
The University offers a suite of tools to assist researchers in managing their research data. These platforms and best data management practices enable researchers to preserve the context and continuity of their research. Our online tools enable simple and secure collaboration, and allow alignment of research practice with requirements in University and national policy.
The Researcher Dashboard (DashR) is a centralised tool for researchers to register research data planning information and to request/manage associated data and computing services.
DashR can be used to:
The eNotebook provides researchers with a collaborative working tool suitable for both internal and external collaborators. The eNotebook is versatile and can be used in any discipline. It is a great option for curating, storing and sharing working documents, procedures, observations, conclusions, notes, images and data files. Its strengths include the ability to consolidate all sorts of research data along with a rigorous audit trail to maintain integrity of the data.
Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is an online, customisable data capture tool. It provides the ideal means to gather data in a secure environment and avoids the need to enter data into spreadsheets or use paper-based forms and surveys.
REDCap makes it easy to collect standardised, clean data. Researchers and external collaborators can simultaneously access their sensitive data on REDCap in a secure, encrypted manner.
The Research Data Store (RDS) is the University鈥檚 primary data store. It is an enterprise grade Network Attached Storage (NAS) device for storing research data, which has a large and expandable storage capacity.
A package of Microsoft programs, both desktop and web-based, for collaborative document editing and data management. OneDrive can be used for data storage, which has a desktop syncing application. OneNote can be used to collate research-based contextual information e.g. research process journals and metadata.
The University鈥檚 enterprise edition of GitHub is the Code Repository, a software repository management platform that provides a university-wide resource for code management, code review, and general collaboration. The code repository includes virtually the same set of features as github.com but is self-contained and managed by the University.
The FileSender function of AARNet is a secure, large file sending solution. Files up to 2TB in size can be sent to specified recipients, with the additional option to encrypt files for secure sending of highly protected data.
The University has licenses for several specialist commercial bioinformatics software, providing a suite of bioinformatics pipelines to process and analyse high-throughput next generation and whole genome sequencing data. Book our bioinformatics software via .
Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA)鈥痠s a powerful analysis and search tool that uncovers the significance of 鈥榦mics data and identifies new targets or candidate biomarkers within the context of biological systems.
Licensing
The University has five IPA licenses that are available free of charge to Sydney University students, researchers, and affiliates. Users are required to book their sessions using SydneyFMS. Please email us at鈥痵ih.info@sydney.edu.au鈥痶o get access to IPA.
Training
The鈥疩IAGEN Bioinformatics鈥痺ebsite has a set of training materials including:
is a free web-based bioinformatics analysis and workflow platform. It contains thousands of bioinformatics tools to combine, analyse and interpret genomic (DNA), transcriptomic (RNA), proteomic (proteins) and metabolomic (small molecules) data. It provides a simple point-and-click graphical user interface. and aims to make applying bioinformatics approaches on powerful national computing infrastructure easier.
The use of the SIH services including HPC (NCI and our legacy Artemis service) and associated support and training warrants acknowledgement in any publications, conference proceedings or posters describing work facilitated by these services.
The continued acknowledgment of the use of SIH facilities ensures the sustainability of our services.
