NeSI's national platform facilities are connected to the REANNZ network, Aotearoa's high-performance national digital network (or NREN). This national network supports collaboration and contributions to data-intensive and complex science and research initiatives in New Zealand and across the globe.

A real-time network status page is available on the REANNZ website as a 'weather map', which shows all traffic across its national network:
