Fortnightly report received from Intersect
At Research Support Group: - Discuss candidates for review- Assign action to relevant
eResearch Analyst to talk to researcher
If researcher confirms allocation can be deleted, then eResearch Analyst raises ticket with Intersect.
Intersect delete the relevant storage or compute products, returning that allocation to the pool

Problem:
HPC user > 1 million SU/year
Approx 30% spent on testing and debugging
A standard practice for many years
Solution
16 core project setup with Intersect assistance to replicate HPC environment
Result
Now all HPC runs are production runs

Problem
Historically, long wait times to access IT resources
Led to researchers going and ‘doing their own thing’
Solution
Institute based resources for ready consumption
Result
Environments available within 30 minutes

Problem
Time wasted by researchers transferring data
10-40gb required to be download daily
Average time wasted 1 – 1 ½ hours
Solution
Move analysis into Western Research Cloud and connected to data
Result
No more downloads required. Analysis could be performed ‘live’

Problem
A need for real time 3d analysis for image manipulation
Western Research Cloud has no current internal capability to provide GPU access
Solution
A 3-way workflow between Intersect, Azure (GPU provider) and Platform9 (Integrator of cloud platforms)
Result
A real time 3d analysis system was realized and is available for future re-use.

Intersect Interconnect
• Working together with Intersect to design a secure integration between the WRC and some key University services
• Better Identity Management
• Windows Licensing

• Western Research Cloud has dramatically lowered the barriers to entry for researchers
• A genuinely researcher-centric service offering from central IT
• By using the WRC we heave learned a lot about requirements for Research at Western – including where the gaps are.
