While the story describes how consumers can rent server space and store genomic data through cloud computing, Amazon wanted to emphasize that its service is much broader than that. The Amazon Web Services platform also offers compute power, database services, messaging, content delivery, monitoring, networking, and more. The story also points out that most of the interest in life sciences has been from academic research labs who use it for next-generation gene sequencing data. That’s true, but Amazon wanted to point out that researchers at Eli Lilly and Pfizer use the Amazon Web Services platform as well for other purposes. And while Amazon has offered a “reduced redundancy” option for customers at a lower price than the conventional cloud offering, it didn’t create the new option because the price was too high. Some customers don’t require as much redundancy as others, and Amazon says it wanted to offer them a new choice.
