Amazon Web Services

Research is an innovation practice – with researchers needing access to tools that enable rapid experimentation. Amazon Web Services (AWS) works with higher education institutions, research labs, and researchers around the world to offer cost-effective, scalable, and secure compute, storage, and database capabilities to accelerate time to science.

With AWS, researchers can quickly analyze massive data pipelines, store petabytes of data, and advance research using transformative technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and quantum – all while securely sharing their results with collaborators around the world. AWS also provides researchers with access to open datasets, funding, and training to accelerate the pace of innovation.

Eratos

Decision-makers need on-demand, easy access to powerful AI models to solve the world’s hardest problems. Data scientists and researchers need easy access to large data sets to build their AI models, and they need a streamlined platform to share those models with decision-makers. Public and private institutions want to share their large cloud and on-premises data sets with data scientists to deliver the maximum value from their sensors, satellites, and drones.

Eratos democratizes AI for decision-making, reporting, and compliance by federating and semantically linking public and private data sets, providing data scientists with a platform to build and easily share models based on those data sets, and giving decision-makers AI-as-Service access to models to solve problems on demand. Eratos puts these powerful tools for climate, biodiversity, education, public safety, and more at the fingertips of those who need them, making Open Science a reality.

XENON for Research Infrastructure

Researchers have been advancing their work with high performance computing, artificial intelligence and the tools of data science for decades now. XENON has been there every step of the way, providing the foundation in compute and data storage infrastructure which enables scientists to solve larger problems, faster.

XENON works closely with leading universities and research institutes to provide solutions which solve the complex compute issues required for modern research, including:

• Implementing high performance computing clusters for data analysis work across a range of disciplines including health & life sciences, genomics, weather modelling, radio astronomy, fluid dynamics and more.
• Data management solutions – including back-up, archive and data protection issues.
• Providing GPU and CPU compute power, from workstations to servers and full HPC clusters.

Services and Consulting

When universities and research institutes require additional expertise, they call on XENON. Our team delivers individual projects as well as ongoing infrastructure management services across Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia.
Individual projects have covered areas such as lifecycle planning, new cluster design, data protection and archive protocols, training in containerisation and HPC technologies. Ongoing managed services contracts are available for managing HPC clusters; performing updates, maintenance and cluster expansion; data management – backup and archive of large data sets.

XENON Cluster Stack

Making HPC clusters easy to maintain, manage, grow and expand is a key challenge for research teams. XENON has developed the XENON Cluster Stack™ to address this challenge.
