See a list of cloud computing resources that may be useful to students and educators at the university. Many of these resources are provided free of charge for students and staff.
The primary goals of the directory is to raise awareness among staff and students of the range of resources that are available for trials / experimentation with emerging technology.
Note:
- It is important that you read the terms and conditions associated with the resource. Some have limits on free usage and will incur charges if you exceed those limits. If you need to provide your credit card number to resister for the resource there is a strong chance that there are excess usage charges applicable.
- No University data is to be stored on these platforms, e.g. names, addresses, email, etc. Typically, there are no back-ups and the University is not responsible for any data breach.
- These resources are to be used for short term trials / sandbox / learning activities only. They are not to be used as long term solutions.
- Do not use your University credential to access these platforms, i.e. University email / password. You should set up a separate email account; something like a non-University email account e.g. @gmail.com, @outlook.com, etc.
- Make sure your local PC is secure, i.e. operating system and virus software is up-to-date.
- If you need to supply credit card details, University corporate cards should NOT be used.
- These resources have not been reviewed by the University's central Information and Communications Technology Unit and are not supported by that Unit.
- At the end of the trial, make sure you delete all data and close your account.
