Educational and research technology
UNSW offers comprehensive information and support for a wide range of centrally and locally supported educational and research technology for staff.
Technology for research
UNSW IT supports Research Technology (ResTech) by offering and supporting a variety of high-performance computing (HPC) systems in a safe, secure and reliable hosting environment. HPC uses specialist systems with large amounts of cores (CPU/GPU), lots of memory, fast interconnects and fast storage. They're designed for intensive parallel processing workloads.
At UNSW, you have access to these computing systems:
- Katana
- NCI
- GITHUB
- CLOUD
All UNSW Researchers can find out more about performance computing on the dedicated ResTech website.
All UNSW researchers must comply with Australian regulations and policies (goes to Sharepoint) regarding storage and management of their data, whether ‘traditional’ numbers in graphs and tables, or primary research materials such as manuscripts, text, interview transcripts, or videos. Read more about the data storage and sharing tools available, along with data storage guidelines (goes to Sharepoint).
Technology for education
Education technologies and software that enable learning and teaching at UNSW are managed in collaboration with the Division of PVC (Education).
The Educational Technology Support (ETS) team has developed a support model, making it easier for you to access the service you need. When you contact the IT Service Centre, you can have your issue escalated quickly by pressing ‘2’ to go directly to the ETS team.
You can see a selection of software and business applications below, or a full list for all your education technology needs is also available on the Teaching website.
Training run by the ETS team is also available – go to EST training to find upcoming training events.
