Qiagen has announced the official opening of a new data centre in Melbourne, Australia, designed to strengthen its global bioinformatics leadership position in this region of the world.
This latest addition reflects the company's ongoing commitment to enhance its bioinformatics data infrastructure, enabling initiatives to broaden the reach and use of bioinformatics products in the Australia/Asia-Pacific (APAC) region – which encompasses Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and surrounding islands.
It will also expand the current network of seven data centres strategically located across the United States, United Kingdom, Denmark, Turkey, South Korea, Japan and China.
This investment supports the expanding data centre market in the Australia/Asia-Pacific region while ensuring local compliance and high-quality solutions for Omics analysis and interpretation in genomic testing laboratories.
The new Melbourne facility will provide in-country data hosting, supporting genomic testing labs in Australia to securely host sensitive data while complying with Australian privacy and health data regulations.
