CSIRONET (1985)

Top
CSIRONET is an Australia-wide computing network offering its services to CSIRO, government departments, tertiary institutions and private companies.

This video describes the range of services offered and shows how a number of clients benefit from using CSIRONET. The clients include a market research firm which developed powerful software in collaboration with CSIRONET, a remotely located Government Department which uses the software available on CSIRONET's hosts for large scale processing, and an engineering authority which does numerically intensive computing and sophisticated graphics output through CSIRONET.

Produced in 1985.
