Abstract

The cloud computing is driven by factors such as aging of the current information technology (IT) infrastructure and changes in IT landscape. Virtualization and cloud computing have transformed the way the IT services are delivered to customers at a lower cost. The research and development (R&D) in life sciences is on cusp of change. The new opportunities and challenges must focus on renewing the existing systems and processes for efficacy and adopting advancements in new technologies to gain value. This paper briefly outlines various cloud computing trends in life sciences.
