Technical specifications

The Nectar Cloud node hosted at Pawsey comprises over 6,000 virtual cores of compute resources for virtual machines (VMs), with 500 TB of fast NVMe drives for volume storage. Root disks for VMs will be stored in 90 TB of NVMe storage directly on the compute nodes to provide lower latency.

“... Hosting a Nectar node at Pawsey expands access to powerful, flexible cloud computing for researchers in WA and across the country. Alongside Setonix, our world-class supercomputer, this capability supports the full spectrum of data-intensive science." Mark Stickells AM
