Access to cloud-based infrastructure offers several important advantages over deploying the analysis software on local computers:

• Additional cloud-based computational resources can be allocated at any time, which allows multiple analytics to be done concurrently.
• Using cloud-based resources does not require additional investment in local computers.
• Cloud-base computational resources provide 99.99% resilience, they are not threatened by computer crashes or power outages.
• Cloud-based storage provides over 99.9999% reliability and is not affected by local disk failures.
