The Data and Analytics Facility for National Infrastructure (DAFNI)

DAFNI is the national platform to satisfy the computational needs in support of data analysis; infrastructure research; and strategic thinking for the UK’s long term planning and investment needs. First conceived of by Prof Hall, DAFNI has been developed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Harwell with more than £9million of support from EPSRC. The platform, which has now entered its operational phase, is supporting academic research that is aiming to provide the UK with a world leading infrastructure system that is more: efficient, reliable, resilient and affordable.
