Symyx Technologies has announced the launch of hosted informatics software to researchers working in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical industries and academia.
The hosted offerings, to be accessed via a software-as-a-service business model, will combine the company's software with data archiving capabilities in a secure, state-of-the-art data hosting and communications facility.
The hosted informatics environment will enable more R&D organizations to benefit from scientific software by reducing the requirements for information technology (IT) infrastructure and resources, lowering total cost of ownership and accelerating Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) deployment.
Using a hosted ELN service, R&D organizations can deploy and leverage the electronic notebook quickly and efficiently without added IT infrastructure and resources while collaborating more effectively with partners.
The hosted informatics infrastructure will be supported by Switch Communications Group. The secure Switch facility where the ELN service will be hosted is compliant with SAS 70, Type II auditing standards and specifications, supporting industry-standard disaster recovery and business continuity plans. Third-party offsite data backup, archiving and recovery services will also be provided.
The standard hosted ELN service includes all installation, configuration, software and hardware maintenance and data back-ups for a fixed yearly fee.
