Projects

High Performance Computing

Through the MacDiarmid Institute, we are partners in the Blue Fern Supercomputing Facility at the University of Canterbury. KAREN lets us move large datasets between Blue Fern and our desktops at IRL.

Videoconferencing

We have trialled EVO at IRL and are currently considering options for desktop videoconferencing.

The RFP process for video conferencing for large groups was completed and a vendor selected. A trial of the hardware on site in both Wellington and Auckland to confirm that the system will be suitable for our needs from a practical point of view started on Wednesday, 20 August and finished on Friday 12 September. Based on the trial, the final requirements will be agreed with the vendor and a business case will be presented for approval. It is anticipated that there will be a dedicated video conferencing facility in both Auckland and Christchurch while it is expected that there will be up to 6 vc facilities in Wellington.
