The University's Secure Web Platform (SWP) is a hit with researchers for hosting their highly restricted data applications. Since its launch in April 2023, the platform has rapidly grown, now supporting six research projects. Designed specifically for highly restricted data applications, it's setting new standards in Cloud based secure data hosting.

The pandemic has brought many challenges, not least conducting training.  Our Training team have recently used Amazon Service Workbench to teach Python remotely online.

When the Centre for Health Informatics needed to move their popular CFHealthHub to a new secure environment, they turned to Research IT for help. Steven Antrobus, their Project Manager, explains how we helped.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the first Research IT club of the academic year. If you were unable to attend, all the presentations are now available at the links below. We had some great presentations on how our RSEs built a searchable database for Alzheimer’s Research and the first case study of our Cloud bursting in action.

If you are currently using Cloud resources but are having to use your own or an institutional credit card to pay for them – help is at hand!

The Research IT Condor Pool has always been very popular with researchers from across The University and we are pleased to announce the latest upgrade to the service.
