Technology

The digital technology that you need to support your research, including compute resources, software, and tools.

Compute Resources

Digital technologies enable the collection, analysis, and visualisation of data across the modern research lifecycle. At La Trobe University, we provide access to compute resources, software, and tools to support that process.

Computational resources are available to run the software, either on premises or via national providers. These include high performance and cloud computing, computer servers, and virtual machines.

Computer Servers

Support is available for different types of servers, cloud computers, and virtual machines that are used for research.

High Performance Computing

Researchers can request access to resources that provide computing power way beyond the typical laptop or desktop computer.
