Case Study: The Natural History Museum advances biodiversity research with AWS Glue

The Natural History Museum - Customer Case Study

The Natural History Museum, a leader in biodiversity research, faced the challenge of processing and managing vast new datasets from environmental sensors and DNA samples on an unprecedented scale. To accelerate its research into nature recovery and combat the planetary emergency, the museum needed a faster, more collaborative way to unlock the full potential of its data, which led to its partnership with AWS and the use of AWS Glue.

The solution involved building a centralized Data Ecosystem using AWS technology, including AWS Glue for cost-effective and simplified data integration from multiple sources. This serverless platform provided scientists across the UK with open access to data, fostering new levels of collaboration. For the Natural History Museum, AWS enabled the transformation of its research process, significantly speeding up analysis and establishing its gardens as one of the most intensively studied urban nature sites.
