CloudCloud Work Stream

Standardises how researchers bring algorithms to data — or define, share, and execute portable workflows in any cloud environment, securely and easily.
Modern cloud computing environments offer unprecedented access to large amounts of data, but the genomics and health communities have yet to take full advantage. The Cloud Work Stream develops standards that help “bring the algorithms to the data” — running experiments in the cloud rather than downloading the data first. The Work Stream standardises how to securely define, share, and execute any portable workflows in any kind of cloud environment.

Dive deeper into our Work Stream! Cloud empowers the genomics and health communities to take full advantage of modern cloud environments, especially by “bringing the algorithms to the data.” Cloud products help users securely define, share, and execute portable workflows in any cloud environment. Capabilities include providing a standardised set of data retrieval methods or describing a protocol for running the same genomic data analysis in multiple cloud environments.
