Speaker
Description
As part of the National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System (NICIS), DIRISA is mandated to support and enable the Research Community by providing them with data infrastructure for storing research data sets. DIRISA provides a large data storage infrastructure to the Research Community. Through DIRISA services, users are able to upload, store (short term), archive (long term), share, download data sets.
As part of NICIS, DIRISA is a national initiative that enables and supports data-driven research in South Africa. NICIS is able to provide support to the Research Community through leveraging skills and expertise that cuts across NICIS units. Each unit has its Core Services that it provides that also includes Networked Resources working collaboratively as Integrated Services Teams.
NICIS has built Research Cloud that is data driven and implemented and managed by internal NICIS staff.
Since NICIS is a national cyberinfrastructure, it supports a variety of thematic areas ranging from Health, Bioinformatics, Energy, Humanities, Science, Manufacturing, and many more.
This presentation will share with the conference the overview of NICIS and DIRISA and will also highlight the available services and data infrastructure that can be accessed by the Research Community for storing and sharing their data.
