Introducing Cumulo BLAST
Turnkey BLAST Servers with Cumulo SAASi and Amazon EC2
BLAST is the most important data mining tool for bioinformatics applications. It's provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Although there are various free BLAST servers available around the world, there is still a need for biologists to have their own BLAST servers. Typically, the NCBI and other BLAST servers can get bogged down with requests, and turn around times can be slow. Having your own BLAST servers can significantly improve the throughput of your BLAST pipelines.
Cumulo BLAST addresses this need by offering a turnkey BLAST server built using Cumulo SAASi and Amazon EC2. You simply have to start one or more Amazon EC2 instances that we supply, and you instantly have a BLAST server that can handle web service requests. You can start as many servers as you need to increase throughput to any desired level.
