The full potential of the cloud to transform IT processes for genomic research has been limited by the inherent bottleneck in moving big data. Genomic research and high-performance computing centers can now finally adopt cloud infrastructure such as AWS to analyze and share genome sequences. In this webinar, learn how Aspera powers high-speed transfers, at full bandwidth capacity to, from and between remote cloud infrastructures enabling scale-out analysis, sharing, and exchange of genome sequences to realize the full benefits of cloud computing.

  • Transfer genome sequences at high-speed directly to AWS S3 storage for scale-out storage and sequential analysis using EC2
  • Distribute and share research results through the Web with Aspera Shares and the Connect browser plug-in
  • Replicate and synchronize results across campus and across facilities with Aspera Sync
  • Completely integrate with sequence analysis workflows using Aspera APIs
