From academic grant cycles to flares in infectious disease, genomic organizations must be able to respond quickly to succeed. In today's competitive market, companies that plan their on - premises capacity based on maximum anticipated volume carry an enormous financial burden; whereas those that cannot accommodate demand spikes quickly face costly delays. The elastic nature of AWS allows organizations to launch as many instances as needed and be ready to work in near real - time. Likewise, they can decrease capacity during down times to reduce costs. Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance built its GenoVic software, a shared clinical system used by Victoria's decentralized health system, on AWS to enable seamless scalability as more laboratories join the alliance and expand their genomic testing services. "Using Amazon EFS, we don't have to worry about scaling research workloads — the system can grow automatically to meet our researchers' needs, no matter what the compute and storage requirements are." Achieve compliance globally DNA is the most personal source of data. As genomics becomes an increasingly global practice, organizations must consider both domestic and international regulatory standards. AWS takes a security first approach to enabling genomics storage and compute, and continues to invest in new availability zones around the globe to enable organization to store and analyze their data locally. The AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure is the most secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. With 77 Availability Zones, 2X more than any other cloud provider, across 245 countries and territories, genomics organizations can take full advantage of cloud and maintain data sovereignty. To help genomics organization adhere to industry compliance and regulations, AWS maintains the following compliance certifications: HITRUST, GDPR compliance, FedRAMP, HIPAA, ISO 27001, ISO 3425. "Some of our customers have sensitive data that cannot leave their region due to local regulatory requirements. We can help them store that data in their country or region by using AWS." Lifebit reengineered the traditional model for securing data — bringing its compute engine and analytics to the data itself – enabling customers like Genomics England to securely democratize access to its data on the AWS Cloud. "Data stays in our clients' environments, and all of the AWS safety features keep it secure." To help its customers scale their science, DNAnexus uses AWS to reliably and securely analyze more than 1,000,000 samples per year
