VERNet is deploying an optical fibre network across Victoria that will help Victoria's researchers and educators to deliver tomorrow's ideas faster.
This network infrastructure will help Victorian universities and researchers to collaborate more effectively internationally and deliver better science and know how for all Australians. VERNet is building or leasing up to 2000 km of optic fibre connecting almost 120 sites across metropolitan and regional Victoria. The network is called the Victorian Education and Research Network (VERN) and is a long-term, collaborative investment by the Victorian universities, CSIRO and Commonwealth Government.
The number of services available to VERNet members has climbed to 136.
Of the 155 services requested by VERNet members, 123 of these are available for use.
In recent news it was announced that Roger Tanton would take over as Chief Executive Officer of VERNet following the departure of John Carruthers.
As VERNet nears the end of the initial build phase, more and more of its members are approaching them to make additions to the VERN in order to provide additional services.
