XENON Systems is proud to return to eResearch Australasia 2025 – our 10th year in a row as sponsor of this keystone event for the research community. This year in Brisbane, XENON is again a Gold Sponsor alongside our long-standing technology partner, NVIDIA. Also on the stand will be VAST Data and Versity, demonstrating an end-to-end solution to eResearch workflows and data management.

We’re pleased to connect with the research computing community, share practical insights from the field, and highlight the innovation happening across Australia and beyond. You can browse the full conference program here.

What we’re speaking about

“Securely Share Your Bare-Metal HPC and AI Cluster without Virtualisation: Modern Multi-tenancy Solutions” by Dr Werner Scholz
Tuesday, 21 Oct, 14:30–14:50 (AEST), Boulevard Auditorium

Werner will unpack modern, secure multi-tenancy approaches that let you safely share bare-metal HPC and AI clusters—without the overheads of virtualisation. Expect actionable guidance for achieving strong isolation and utilisation while keeping complexity in check.

“Modern Storage for Modern HPC and AI Environments” by Ben Trinder
Tuesday, 21 Oct, 14:50–15:10 (AEST), Boulevard Auditorium

Ben will dive into storage architectures for today’s accelerated research: performance tiers, data flows for AI/ML, reliability patterns, and cost-aware design choices that scale from departmental clusters to national facilities.

“Mastering the Maze: Simplifying HPC, Kubernetes, and Secure Software Delivery with DevOps, GitOps, and Platform Engineering” by Malcom Haak
Tuesday, 21 Oct, 15:10 – 15:30 (AEST), Boulevard Auditorium

Malcom demonstrates how DevOps, GitOps, and Platform Engineering principles can transform complex research infrastructure into manageable, automated systems that deliver secure, resilient, and auditable HPC and Kubernetes environments.

Join our Birds of a Feather

BoF: Storage and Data Protection Solutions for Long Term Archiving (facilitated by Dr Werner Scholz)
Wednesday, 22 Oct, 11:40–12:00 (AEST), Boulevard B3

Bring your challenges and war stories. We’ll discuss pragmatic strategies for long-term data protection, balancing cost, performance, and compliance—plus how to plan for future retrieval and re-use at scale. This is an interactive session; come ready to share and learn.

Visit the XENON x NVIDIA stand along with Versity and VAST
