Cloud computing is a revolutionary new paradigm shift whereby traditional IT resources such as storage, computing, content delivery, and software are provided through the Internet using simple web services. It brings an elegant solution to the problem of dynamically providing resources and services to perform functions with changing needs.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the leading providers of cloud computing. It offers a host of different services which include:
- Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) -
- Simple Storage Service (S3) - provides fully redundant data storage infrastructure that can be used to store instrument files, databases and analysis results
- Simple Queue Services (SQS) - message queuing system that can be used to schedule and execute jobs
TPP now provides a number of ways to utilize cloud computing using Amazon Web Services to cost-effectively analyze large data sets, build your own cloud infrastructures based on TPP, or just run the TPP software without requiring any installation.

TPP Web Application
The TPP Web Application (TWA) is a web application hosted at the [tools.proteomecenter.org] that makes it easy to start and use a virtual server running TPP on the Amazon Web Services. Its an ideal solution for people wanting to try out TPP but don't want to (or can't) install TPP on a local computer. Users can also use TWA to cost effectively access powerful compute resources when their local computer isn't sufficient enough to run TPP. All you need to use this tool is to sign up for an Amazon account, register to use the EC2 product, and provide your Amazon security credentials in the fields provided. More information is available at TPP_TWA.
TPP Amazon Machine Images
Amazon machine images are pre-built appliances by the TPP developer team that already have TPP installed on them. These can be used to quickly and easily create virtual servers within the Amazon Elastic Cloud (EC2). Developers are also encouraged to use these images as a basis for their own cloud computing infrastructures. More information is available at TPP_Amazon_Machine_Images.
