Pharmas Are Leading the Way with Faster, More Scalable Computing
in the Cloud
Pharmaceutical companies are leading the way in enterprise cloud adoption. As consumers of massive computing clusters for complex informatics as well as internal IT needs, pharmas are turning to the cloud to provision resources in minutes, not weeks. The cloud offers endless scalability and flexible on-demand extensions of existing compute grids. This can have game-changing impact for scientists, researchers, IT and the entire enterprise.
In this webinar, you'll learn how market-leading pharmas are using the cloud:
- Burst/peak scale-out: Research IT and Informatics teams view the cloud as an extension of their internal cluster environments for increasing their agility in discovery research, accelerating accurate target identification and lead generation, and driving rapid transition to lead optimization and the pre-clinical stage of R&D.
- Improving the application lifecycle: Many development and test activities are being moved off expensive on-premise resources to the cloud, reducing data center fixed costs. Once tested in the cloud, the application environment can easily be brought back in-house when it’s ready for production. R&D IT can dramatically reduce the costs of application development and testing by matching resources to actual usage, and more accurately predict total cost of ownership.
- Collaboration: The cloud provides a flexible, cost-effective platform for collaboration across multiple organizations, including other pharma/biotech, universities, suppliers and outsourced developers. These organizations, which are often geographically distributed teams, require access to large pools of resources for short-term or ongoing collaboration.
