Forecast for Processing and Storing Ever-Expanding Science Data: Cloudy

Time-shared access to supercomputers or computing clusters cloistered in laboratory data rooms and university basements has helped scientists for decades with problems requiring massive amounts of number-crunching muscle. This is now changing as scientists come to rely on software and storage delivered via the Web, aka “cloud computing,” as a resource for organizing and analyzing research data. Biotech and physical sciences are two fields in particular that are gravitating skyward, at least piecemeal
