NeSI wide area network connectivity
NeSI's national platform facilities are connected to the REANNZ network, Aotearoa's high-performance national digital network (or NREN). This national network supports collaboration and contributions to data-intensive and complex science and research initiatives in New Zealand and across the globe.
