Research Data Storage Infrastructure (VicNode), funded ($3.2m) by the federal government Department of Education (it was formerly funded by the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science (also formerly known as DIISRTE/DIISR) through the Education Investment Fund (EIF) and the National Collaboration Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) activities. VicNode provides large-scale data storage systems that underpin a range of research activities across Australia with specific focus on Victorian researchers. The facility has been established and managed by the University of Melbourne and Monash.

National e-Infrastructure for e-Social Science (NeISS): was funded for 3-years in 2009 by the JISC. NeISS developed a research environment for social scientists interested in the area of social simulation. This can include for example future models of immigration or life expectancy on transport or infrastructure at local or national levels. Typical data sets include individual level census data, geo-spatial data and clinical data. Many of these data sets were under strict access and usage constraints, e.g. due to licensing arrangements or due to individual level patient information. The work of NeISS included support for large-scale data integration techniques and fine-grained security through user-friendly portals. An example paper from NeISS is available here.
