Case Study: GenoSpace achieves secure, scalable high-speed genomic data transfers to the cloud with Aspera On Demand

Scaling Large Genomic Data Transfers

GenoSpace is a cloud-based SaaS platform that stores and analyzes large, complex genomic and clinical datasets to support research, clinical labs, doctors and patients. The company needed a way to move ever-growing genome sequences (often gigabytes per patient across thousands of patients) from clinical providers into its AWS-hosted database while ensuring security, reliability and cost-effectiveness.

GenoSpace implemented Aspera On Demand with the Aspera Embedded Client, using the FASP protocol to deliver high‑speed, encrypted transfers into the cloud and integrate easily with their AWS stack. The solution provides automatic retry/resume for interrupted transfers, strong encryption and data integrity, eliminates heavy infrastructure build-outs, and delivers secure, scalable, and reliable data movement that reduces cost and supports future growth.
