Bionimbus is an open source petabyte scale community cloud based upon OpenStack for managing, analyzing and sharing large genomics datasets that is operated by the not-for-profit Open Cloud Consortium.

It contains a variety of public datasets, including ENCODE and the 1000 Genomes dataset.

Join us for a webcast talk by   Robert Grossman   where he shares how his organization recently expanded Bionimbus so that researchers can analyze data from controlled datasets, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) in a secure and compliant fashion. TCGA contains data from over 6,000 cancer patients, spanning 20 different types of cancer. Tissues samples from both cancerous and normal tissue are collected and sequenced.

In this webcast we will discuss:

- the role of private, community and public clouds in bioinformatics

- the Bionimbus architecture

- the Bionimbus security and compliance framework

- how Bionimbus interoperates with Amazon Web Services

- how to interoperate your own resources with Bionimbus

- adding data to Bionimbus

- how Bionimbus allocates computing resources to the community

- how to get involved with Bionimbus
