Oppenheimer analyst sees need for improved Next Generation Sequencing bioinformatics
"David Ferreiro, an analyst with Oppenheimer, said in a research note that although Illumina believes the setbacks are temporary, "[We] believe researchers will take longer to grow into existing sequencing capacity especially when bioinformatics solutions continue to lag."

Amazon Cloud Security Gaps Exposed
"A major challenge for cloud providers is ensuring the absolute security of the data entrusted to them, which should only be accessible by the clients themselves," says Jörg Schwenk, who headed up the AWS attacks.
Schwenk is also quick to point out that private clouds, which are typically hosted at a site internally versus a public provider like AWS, are not safe from these types of attacks either."

The large size of most data sets negates the cost-effectiveness of using the cloud
"Phil Butcher, head of IT at the Sanger Institute, describe their frustrations when it comes to dealing with their current data bottleneck. [...] "The main issue for us is that our data sizes are so large, that the cost and difficulty of moving the data to the cloud stops it being cost effective for many jobs."
The IT leaders of 1000 Genomes Project describe how they must "distressingly often resort to shipping hard disks around to transfer data between centers, rather than use the internet, or even via Aspera which is faster than ftp [file transfer protocol]."

JP Morgan Buys Into FPGA Supercomputing
"Prior to the FPGA solution, JP Morgan's main risk model [...] took 8 to 12 hours to complete -- an overnight run requiring a cluster of thousands of x86 cores. [...] With the speedup, the same risk model took four minutes. [...] In fact, initially JP Morgan looked at GPUs for acceleration [...] But they thought they could do even better with FPGAs."
