The ARDC is requesting proposals from organisations currently providing resources into the ARDC's Nectar Research Cloud, and other organisations with established capability in hosting significant ICT infrastructure, for the supply of research cloud infrastructure, as part of the ARDC’s Storage and Compute program. The aim of the ARDC's Nectar Research Cloud Capacity Maintenance project is to refresh cloud compute and storage infrastructure in the Nectar Research Cloud, thereby maintaining the capacity required to meet the demand for cloud resources from nationally prioritised research activities.
This consultation session aims to provide further information for interested organisations as well as an opportunity to ask questions about the RFP process.

Webinar: ARDC Platforms Program Open Call Q & A session
Webinar: ARDC Platforms Program Open Call Q & A session
Mon, 19 Aug 2019 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Register: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/6393432917175249421
The Australian Research Data Commons is running a program of investment in platforms. A goal of the program will be to increase the number of researchers with access to platforms, both in terms of absolute number and in terms of diversity of disciplines. The program will also seek to support a community of platform operators.
We are taking a two-stage approach to making investments in platforms. The first is a call for expressions of interest (EOI) and then a request for proposal (RFP).
The EOI phase is intended to facilitate collaboration between researchers, research groups, research organisations and communities around a proposed Platform investment, with the aim of investing in projects that will deliver improved outcomes. As such, ARDC will broker discussions between similar EOIs so that shared proposals can be developed and submitted in the RFP phase. The RFP phase is a competitive funding call and will only be open to those who submitted an EOI, and their collaborators.
This Q & A session aims to provide further information for interested parties as well as an opportunity to ask questions about the Open Call process. The webinar will be recorded and made available after the event.

Webinar: ARDC & EMBL-ABR: Unlocking the secrets in your DNA – the dawn of cloud-native bioinformatics
Webinar: ARDC & EMBL-ABR: Unlocking the secrets in your DNA – the dawn of cloud-native bioinformatics
Thu, 29 Aug 2019 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5023481011075532555
Genomic produces more data than Astronomy, Twitter, and YouTube combined, having caused research in this discipline to leapfrog to the forefront of cloud technology. Dr. Denis Bauer provides an insider’s view into a Spark-based machine learning framework able to find disease genes in ultra-high-dimensional data (80 million columns), which enables population-scale understanding. She will also highlight how serverless, which is pitted to be the “next big thing in cloud” and become a $20 Billion market, enables the “search engine for the genome” to seamlessly sift through 3 billion letters while having a zero cost downtime. The talk compares cloud setups across AWS, Alibaba and Azure and touches on how to evolve cloud architecture more efficiently through an hypothesis-driven approach to DevOps.
Dr Denis Bauer is CSIRO’s Principal Research Scientist in transformational bioinformatics and an internationally recognised expert in machine learning and cloud-based genomics, having presented at AWS Summit, Canberra, 2018 and Alibaba Infinity, Singapore 2018. Her achievements include developing open-source machine-learning cloud services that accelerate disease research and being used by 10,000 researchers annually.
