Data life cycle management solution
Coping with massive data challenges in the field of gene sequencing
With the development of sequencing technology, the amount of gene sequencing data has increased dramatically. It is estimated that by 2025, the genome sequencing field will add 40 exabytes of data per year globally. To this end, Amazon Cloud Technology provides a data lifecycle management solution in the field of gene sequencing, which can provide better cost performance and higher availability for the storage, retrieval and analysis of bioinformatics data at different stages of gene analysis.
It is worth mentioning that Amazon S3 object storage provides up to eight storage tiers, and the automatic tiering function provided can store data more efficiently and achieve cost savings. At the same time, Amazon Cloud Technology has also extended this function to Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) cloud-native file storage, further reducing the difficulty of data management.
Amazon cloud technology also recently launched the Amazon Omics service during re:Invent 2022, which is a managed service for storing, analyzing and interpreting genomics, transcriptomics and other omics data, and can take into account specific application scenarios Under the intelligent storage and scheduling requirements. The launch of Amazon Omics can accelerate progress in the fields of new drug discovery, disease diagnosis and treatment.
Unknown King is the first AI pharmaceutical company in China to focus on the treatment of intestinal microecology. In the microecological field of its research, only one research sample will consume 100G to 200G of storage capacity. Through the automated data lifecycle management service provided by Amazon Cloud Technology, the company stores and archives different data levels into extremely low-cost storage layers, effectively reducing storage costs and realizing the storage of terabytes of genetic data. meet the growing storage needs of the team.
High-performance computing platform on the cloud
Accelerate the development of artificial intelligence-assisted new drugs in the field of biopharmaceuticals
It often takes more than ten years and billions of dollars in research and development costs for a new drug to go from discovery to market, and artificial intelligence-assisted drug development is a sharp weapon to break through this anti-Moore's law. Amazon cloud technology provides high-performance computing (HPC)-based artificial intelligence new drug research and development service solutions, enabling researchers to build high-performance computing platforms with millions of vCPUs on Amazon cloud technology to develop drugs on the scale of billions of protein molecules Discover research. Taking the compound analysis of one billion molecules as an example, it only takes 1 day on Amazon cloud technology.
Amazon Cloud Technology also launched the "Drug Discovery Solution for Quantum Computing Exploration", which provides a one-click deployment of quantum computing/classical computing hybrid architecture, and uses quantum computing resources to conduct experiments through the Amazon Braket quantum computing platform. Discovery applications explore new ideas.
Jingtai Technology is the world's leading drug research and development technology company driven by intelligent automation. At present, the computing scheduling platform supporting Jingtai Technology's drug research and development business has been built on Amazon cloud technology, which can save a lot of operating costs every year. Amazon cloud technology can not only meet the resource and cost requirements of Jingtai's business, but also can call large-scale supercomputing resources at any time without purchasing large-scale clusters required by the business, and can also provide excellent computing cost performance by providing bidding instances .
Insilicon Intelligence is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company driven by generative artificial intelligence. They used Amazon cloud technology to build a target identification, molecular design platform, and clinical trial outcome prediction platform, enabling them to find a candidate for the treatment of fibrosis in less than 18 months at a cost of millions of dollars Drugs have completed the preclinical drug development process from target discovery to compound validation.
Accelerate the construction of industry solutions
Meet the Healthcare Industry User Experience
Amazon Cloud Technology's industry expert team and partners deeply explore industry application scenarios, combine rich cloud application development practices, and accelerate the construction of many solutions to meet the digital innovation needs of healthcare and medical equipment companies.
Yitikang's remote ECG diagnosis and treatment platform can fully empower primary medical care and quickly provide expert diagnosis and treatment services. Using Amazon cloud technology, Yitikang has doubled the efficiency of AI model training and reasoning, and greatly shortened the time to market - the AI model that originally took half a year to launch now only takes about 3 months to complete from training to deployment The whole process of going online - and cloud-based capabilities can easily support model training scenarios with more than ten times the data size.
Work with partners
Accelerate the construction of the industry's digital innovation ecological chain on the cloud
As a cloud computing leader in the medical and life sciences industry, Amazon Cloud Technology continues to enrich the industry's digital innovation ecological chain——Amazon Cloud Technology and APN Partner Network members jointly provide end-to-end solutions for various innovation scenarios. Tools and services that can be quickly deployed and used are launched on the Cloud Technology Marketplace. Amazon Cloud Technology has also opened up 96 life science public data sets, covering important fields such as life sciences, genes, serious diseases, and new crown research.
In addition, the Shanghai Amazon Cloud Technology Life and Health Digital Empowerment Center established in Xuhui District, Shanghai, where medical resources are dense, has been officially put into operation in October 2022. Contribute to the high-quality development of the life and health industry.
