Transfer & Store Genomics Data
on AWS
As genomics sequencing becomes less expensive, the volume and velocity of data increases, making it difficult for
organizations to manage and store their data while still providing rapid and secure access for collaboration.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) enables researchers to manage large-scale data coming off the sequencer that has
out-paced the capacity of on-premises infrastructure. Transferring this large-scale data to the AWS Cloud delivers
high-throughput data ingestion, cost-effective storage, secure access, and efficient searching to propel genomics
research forward.
The AWS 'Genomics Transfer & Store' program is geared toward helping
life science, healthcare, and agriculture organizations optimize their
genomics data transfer, future proof their data life cycle, minimize storage
costs, and enable secure collaborations. Below is a common architecture
pattern using HIPAA-eligible services which AWS customers are using to
manage their genomic data in the cloud.
