Computing resources

For the Auckland Bioengineering Institute to succeed in its work, excellent computing and IT facilities are necessary.

So it's no wonder that we place great importance on maintaining our high standard.

To carry out research activities, our members use a diverse range of computing facilities, which are often tailored to specific projects or applications.

We have 300+ PCs and servers running Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Apple MacOS Our dedicated IT team look after these and offer a broad range of related support services, including system/software installations, file serving and networking infrastructure, web and database services, and hardware troubleshooting and maintenance.
