Our researchers have constructed and use a number of rare or unique computing resources. Access to many of these systems is provided by the South Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing.

A number of special purpose servers act as the cornerstone of our computing facilities.

Our network infrastructure provides Gigabit Ethernet for servers, switched Fast Ethernet for all desktops and 802.11b/g wireless connectivity.
