REANNZ Integration
On 01 July 2025, New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI) was integrated into the Crown company, Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand (REANNZ) Ltd. NeSI’s services and technologies are now hosted by REANNZ as a national eResearch Infrastructure Platform. Some of our tools (eg. my.nesi.org.nz) and emails (eg. support@nesi.org.nz) will retain a ‘NeSI’ brand as we transition our services and develop a longer-term strategy for this integrated platform.
All NeSI services and support – including these Support Documentation pages and team monitoring the support@nesi.org.nz email – are continuing as you’ve known them. Also, the principles of our policies (Access, Acceptable Use, Security & Privacy, etc.) are carrying over and remain in effect. We'll be in touch if anything changes. If you have any questions about the NeSI-REANNZ integration, Contact our Support Team
We have two categories of pricing for Subscription services:
- Public sector & not-for-profit
- Commercial
Prices are reviewed annually and subject to change.

Research Developer Cloud¶
Billable services in the Research Developer Cloud include Virtual Machines (VMs), General Purpose Graphical Processing Units (GPUs), and Storage.
Pricing listed is for Public section & not-for-profit organisations. To discuss commercial pricing, please get in touch.
(Last updated September 2024. Prices are subject to change.)
Virtual Machines (VMs)¶
- The flavours available by default are the balanced VMs with 1 CPU to 2GB RAM ratio.
- They are named balanced1.1cpu2ram and increment up to balanced1.32cpu64ram.
- The price scales linearly with the number of cores in the VMs.
| Flavours | Price per hour ($) | Price per month ($ in approximation) |
|---|---|---|
| balanced1.1cpu2ram | 0.039 | 28.50 |
| balanced1.2cpu4ram | 0.078 | 56.99 |

| balanced1.8cpu16ram | 0.312 | 227.96 |
| balanced1.16cpu32ram | 0.625 | 455.92 |
| balanced1.32cpu64ram | 1.249 | 911.85 |
High Memory & Development VMs¶
The Research Developer Cloud also offers high memory flavours (memory1) and flavours designed for quick development and test purposes (devtest1):
- high memory flavours having 1 to 4 ratio of CPU per GB of RAM
- development focused flavours with 1 to 1 ratio
Please contact us if you would like to access these specialised compute flavours.
| Flavours | Price per hour ($) | Price per month ($ in approximation) |
|---|---|---|
| memory1.1cpu4ram | 0.062 | 45.59 |
| memory1.2cpu8ram | 0.125 | 91.18 |

| devtest1.4cpu4ram | 0.112 | 81.42 |
General Purpose GPUs¶
General Purpose GPUs are currently accessible as a whole node or half a node of A40 GPUs. The GPU flavour won’t be visible by default on your project. We will be working on making vGPU access available in smaller portions instead of the whole node. Please contact us if you would like to access them.
| Flavours | Price per hour ($) | Price per month ($ in approximation) |
|---|---|---|
| gpu1.44cpu240ram.a40.1g.48gb | 3.672 | 2,680.43 |
