Maximizing Utility on the Cloud : BioTeam Inc. – "For the 2009 BioIT World Conference in Europe I was invited with short notice to give a 60 minute talk centering on practical Cloud approaches for life science organizations. The talk was not really technical in nature and had to hit a huge number of topic areas as well."
Storage for Next-Gen Sequencing : BioTeam Inc. – "Here are the talk slides from our 2009 Workshops (USA and Europe) on Storage Issues for Next-Generation Sequencing."

Lustre Wiki Main Page – "For the world's largest and most complex computing environments, the Lustre™ file system redefines high performance, scaling to tens of thousands of nodes and petabytes of storage with groundbreaking I/O and metadata throughput."
Virtual Proteomics Data Analysis Cluster | proteomics.mcw.edu – "ViPDAC uses Amazon Web Services to analyze proteomics data… ViPDAC [runs] on one of Amazon’s servers from where you can now access the ViPDAC web interface. At this point normal proteomics analysis procedures take over – you can pick an existing set of parameters or configure a new analysis (cleavage enzyme, modifications, protein database to search, etc) and select your data file (spectra in .mgf format) and then submit the job. ViPDAC will then upload the data file to the your area on Amazon’s S3 storage and run the analysis using the EC2 nodes available in your cluster. Once the analysis is complete ViPDAC will compile the results and save them back onto S3 where they can be stored or downloaded to the desktop for further analysis. At this point you can continue to do more analyses or simply turn the cluster off until you need it again."
