  • A major advantage of the cloud resources is that it provides a single, stable, purpose built and configurable analysis platform for our whole group, which results in less training time for our students, avoids the uncertainty of analyses run on different systems and allows us to reconfigure our resources to match our data and analyses. It is a fantastic resource.

  • Access to the Nectar cloud infrastructure has provided the additional capacity we needed to calculate the properties of various metal clusters that we are comparing to experimental results. Over the past few months we have made several advances that will lead to several key publications and contribute to 3 PhD theses.
