Decreasing costs, and rapid technological innovation, have resulted in a tremendous increase in the volume of biological data being generated. At the same time, operations in life sciences organizations are becoming increasingly collaborative and complex. AWS provides a complete set of easy to use, flexible tools to help your company address these problems, including solutions for drug discovery, product development, supply chain management, and marketing and sales.
Working in the life sciences, your competitive advantage is dependent on your ability to remain agile and support the new ideas that are driving innovation in your organization. AWS offers the perfect place to experiment. With no up front requirements for large capital expense, you can resource projects instantly or augment your existing data centers for computationally demanding workloads.
AWS has the tools you need to operate efficiently and get the most out of your IT. Easily exploit reusable architecture patterns, automate rules-based infrastructure, and leverage continuous integration and deployment.
AWS makes it easy for you to coordinate with your global suppliers, partners, and staff based at other facilities. Operating in over 12 regions and with customers in more than 190 countries, AWS facilitates swift, efficient collaboration even with large, complex data sets.
"By spinning up a few hundred nodes on AWS and getting results in less than a day, our scientific researchers have a lot more freedom to ask questions that weren’t even possible before. The speed is important, but equally important is the additional intellectual curiosity this enables for researchers."
Lance Smith, Associate Director of IT, Celgene
"We have been able to achieve even greater cost reductions by fine-tuning a variety of things, including pulling together similar systems onto the same servers, halting instances that do not need to run on weekends, and powering down after performing backups, even on weekdays"
Toshiyuki Shinoda, Director, Information Systems Department, Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co., Ltd.
“The AWS Cloud enables swift collaboration even with hundreds of terabytes of data.”
Dr. Narayanan Veeraraghavan, Lead Programmer Scientist, Genome Sequencing Center, Baylor College of Medicine
