Bioinformatics on the Cloud Computing Platform Azure
We discuss the applicability of the Microsoft cloud computing platform, Azure, for bioinformatics. We focus on the usability of the resource rather than its performance. We provide an example of how R can be used on Azure to analyse a large amount of microarray expression data deposited at the public database ArrayExpress. We provide a walk through to demonstrate explicitly how Azure can be use...
متن کاملCloud computing with the Azure platform
Software industry is heading towards centralized computing. Due to this trend data and programs are being taken away from traditional desktop PCs and placed in compute clouds instead. Compute clouds are enormous server farms packed with computing power and storage space accessible through the Internet. Instead of having to manage one’s own infrastructure to run applications, server time and sto...
متن کاملGeoprocessing in the Microsoft Cloud Computing Platform - Azure
Geoprocessing functions are important for discovering hidden and useful geospatial information, and are widely used in Earth science modeling and applications. The growth of the Web has resulted in the Web-based sharing of large volumes of distributed geospatial data and computational resources. Processing heterogeneous and distributed data into information requires a powerful, scalable, and in...
متن کاملWindows Azure Platform: an Era for Cloud Computing
Windows Azure platform is the Microsoft implementation of cloud computing. This paper covers detailed introduction to Windows Azure Platform. Windows Azure provides resources and services for consumers. The next part describes the five main components of Windows Azure: Hardware is abstracted and exposed as compute resources. Physical storage is abstracted as storage resources and exposed throug...
متن کاملCloud Computing for Comparative Genomics with Windows Azure Platform
Cloud computing services have emerged as a cost-effective alternative for cluster systems as the number of genomes and required computation power to analyze them increased in recent years. Here we introduce the Microsoft Azure platform with detailed execution steps and a cost comparison with Amazon Web Services.
