WHITEPAPER
Uncovering Hidden Cloud Costs
Discover the challenges of monitoring and controlling cloud spend in scientific computing, and what teams can do about it.

“Nextflow RNA-Seq, one of the most widely used bioinformatics pipelines, leaves up to 55% of allocated compute resources unused.”
Computational teams in pharma and biotech are now spending $10M–$100M annually on cloud infrastructure for their scientific workloads. However, this shift has created a costly blind spot: an estimated 34% of cloud budgets disappear into hidden waste. Unlike other industries, life sciences requires granular visibility into complex bioinformatics pipelines that standard solutions weren't designed to handle.
This whitepaper compiles insights from 130+ industry leaders, exploring how organizations can gain visibility into their cloud costs and better manage their cloud resources.
