High-end computing

From October 2018, Melbourne Bioinformatics has access to the University’s Research Platform Services (ResPlat) with associated infrastructure, high-speed interconnects, technical support and account administration. This includes the management of software stacks and licensing for over 240 life sciences programs, from ‘ACG’ to ‘Zlib’. Our technical staff are embedded with ResPlat and are available to install and troubleshoot common and customised software via its help ticket system.

I also just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for the excellent support you have provided over the years. I’m not sure if we’ve met personally, but you have been extremely helpful, prompt and conscientious.
