Cloud Computer Training: Amazon Web Services for Science & Engineering Bethesda 2011

Today`s life science organizations must deal with increasingly complex network, storage and computational requirements. Next-generation lab instruments and protocols are changing faster than the underlying research IT infrastructures built to support them. Operating an efficient, scalable and agile research IT infrastructure in the face of such rapid change is a complex challenge we all encounter. Cloud-based Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) offer some compelling alternatives but real answers can be hard to find amongst all the hype. BioTeam offers a unique 2-day hands-on training course covering the applied use of AWS for research, science and engineering applications.

Taught by two instructors in a limited-size classroom setting, attendees will gain a rock solid understanding of AWS and how it can best be applied to use in research applications. Training topics are covered with a split focus on enabling legacy applications while also covering in detail the emerging body of cloud best-practices and reference architectures, leaving attendees prepared for both today and tomorrow.
