Private Cloud Initiatives Using Bioinformatics Resources and Applications Facility (BRAF)

Abstract

The bioinformatics research community has a demand of enormous compute resources to run bioinformatics tools. Next generation sequencing technologies have further increased the overall demand for computational analysis. The traditional Cluster and Grid computing are having their own complexities to program and use while there is a silver-line in cloud for on-demand high-performance infrastructures with the advent of cloud computing era and its advantages. We have adopted the technology so that it canprove its mandate with more benefits to the community. We are able to bring out a private cloud using BRAF which is a high end cluster facility dedicated for bioinformatics. Open source equivalents to prominent commercially available solutions are used as the cloud middle-ware stack. In this paper we will summarize our implementation of a virtualized private cloud environment using Eucalyptus.

Dynamic stepping information process method in mobile bio-sensing computing environments

“…Also, the role of monitoring and managing the bio-information of each individual user has been performed through personal computer or bio-information server located at the infrastructure network [1,3,4]. Also, the role of monitoring and managing the bio-information of each individual user has been performed through personal computer or bio-information server located at the infrastructure network [1,3,4].…”

Dynamic Configuration Method of Process Design in Bio-sensing Information Computing System

“…Also, the role of monitoring and managing the bio-information of each individual user has been performed through personal computer or bio -information server located at the infrastructure network. [1,3,4]. The sensing information gathered through such mobile bio-information devices configure different information processing system depending on the sensing method, transmission channel, storing and filtering process as well as analysis and evaluation method, etc., [5,6].…”

IT controls in the public cloud: Success factors for allocation of roles and responsibilities

“…A variety of deployment models of cloud services have evolved in the marketplace (Krieger, McGachey, & Kanevsky, 2010;Vanmechelen, Depoorter, & Broeckhove, 2011;Venkatraman, 2013), with public, private, hybrid and community cloud deployment models being the most popular ones. While a private cloud is a shared multi-tenant environment built on a highly efficient automated and virtualised infrastructure using in-house resources and can belong to an organisation solely (Pathak et al, 2012), a public cloud represents a publicly accessible distributed system hosting the execution of applications and providing services billed on a pay-per-use basis (Mattess, Vecchiola, Garg, & Buyya, 2011). Some of the major public cloud players are Amazon (EC2 and S3 services), Google (App Engine PaaS) and Microsoft (Azure cloud services) (Pathak et al, 2012).…”

Public clouds will play a significant role in fulfilling conventional enterprise compute needs, but organisations may not want to move their key differentiating applications out of the enterprise because of their mission-critical or business-sensitive nature.…”
