Thank you to all our 500-plus CloudStor+ beta testers, that’s been great feedback! You’ve helped us straighten out the CloudStor+ beta service a whole lot; enough so that we believe we’re now ready for staged rollout. For this first staged rollout, USyd have kindly put up their hand; this ties in very well with contributions made by USyd into the AeRO User Support Project group, enabling the CloudStor+ service to be woven into the USyd support processes. Once the first stage of rollout at USyd has proven the product in an all-campus environment, we’ll be rolling out to further campuses. Expect more news come October!

QCIF through AeRO is proud to be a major sponsor of the eResearch Australasia 2013 conference to be held in Brisbane from October 20-25. At our exhibition booth we will be demonstrating our services which include ReDBox, Quadrant, SeeVogh, as well as our NeCTAR cloud and RDSI node facilities.
eResearch Australasia provides opportunities for delegates to engage, connect, and share their ideas and exemplars concerning new information centric research capabilities, and how information and communication technologies help researchers to collaborate, collect, manage, share, process, analyse, store, find, understand and re-use information.
For more information about QCIF’s services, please visit our website (www.qcif.edu.au). More information about the eResearch Australasia conference and registrations can be found here (https://conference.eresearch.edu.au/)
We look forward to seeing you there!
RDSI has published yet another story that highlights how researchers around Australia are benefiting from the new RDSI Node infrastructure.
Understanding how cancer develops
Colorectal cancer (bowel cancer) is the second most common cancer in Australia, and after lung cancer the leading cause of cancer deaths. One in 10 men and one in 15 women will be diagnosed with bowel cancer during their lives. Professor Robyn Ward, Professor Nick Hawkins, and the Molecular and Cellular Oncology group (MCO) at the University of New South Wales, study how this cancer develops and translate that understanding into ways of improving outcomes for people with cancer.

To make CloudStor+ run as fast as it does, we’ve had to put in place a few extra tweaks and boxes. A welcome corollary of those new systems is that the original CloudStor is now substantially faster – and the further away from Brisbane you are (where CloudStor lives), the greater the relative speed increase. Give it a whirl at https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au and let us know if you still need it to be faster (because we do have “even faster” versions in the works…)
All feedback welcome; get in touch with:
