You know, talking about what specific users plan to do with a research network might actually be operational content, and so on topic for this list.
Some things we are considering; - Interconnection of our Helix and Helix2 clusters at Albany with Auckland's cluster(s) - Grid computing ? - Moving of genetic data between the Alan Wilson Centre at Albany and their colleages here in PN. - It would be nice if we could use it as a replacement for our current ( commercially provided ) intersite connectivity i.e. Wellington, Palmerston North, Auckland. This may or may not be a starter. Our intersite links are considered mission critical by the exec. Just a few thoughts. -- .*. | Glen Eustace, Infrastructure Development Engineer /V\ | Information Technology Services PN460, Turitea, (/ \) | Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.
