研究機構、臨床實驗室和製藥研發部門定序活動的快速發展,使得重新思考基因組資料的儲存、保護和存取方式變得迫切。通量和讀取長度的提升,加上日益數據密集型的檢測方法以及對數據保留和可追溯性日益嚴格的監管要求,使得存儲從一種營運資源躍升為一項戰略資產,能夠影響實驗設計、共同研究模式以及獲得洞見所需的時間。忽視儲存的機構將面臨資料傳輸瓶頸、營運複雜性增加以及分析速度變慢等問題。
現代儲存環境必須平衡以下相互衝突的需求:高效能存取以支援即時分析;經濟高效的歸檔以確保長期合規性和科學可重複性;強大的安全性以保護敏感的患者資料和專有資料;靈活的部署方法以支援分散式協作研究。雲端原生架構、分層儲存方法以及專用壓縮和資料管理工具的演進正在重塑機構建立端到端定序流程的方式。因此,儲存策略已成為實現可擴展、合規且經濟永續的基因組學工作流程的核心。
本報告旨在檢驗影響定序資料儲存和利用方式的技術趨勢、政策轉變和營運實務。以下章節將為領導者提供實用建議,幫助他們整合技術發展、採購考量和使用者需求,進而規劃符合科學研究和商業目標的儲存投資。
定序資料儲存格局正經歷變革性的轉變,這主要得益於定序儀器、資料管理軟體和部署模式的創新。儀器技術的發展趨勢是不斷提高吞吐量和讀取長度,從而持續推動對可擴展存儲和高頻寬傳輸能力的需求;同時,智慧分層、壓縮和元資料驅動的編配等軟體技術的進步,正在減少原始數據採集和下游分析之間的摩擦。這些技術正在融合,加速從單一的本地孤島向融合邊緣、核心和雲端元素的更靈活的架構的過渡。
同時,雲端生態系的成熟正在改變採購和營運模式。各組織機構擴大採用混合模式,將對延遲敏感的工作負載部署在靠近運算資源的位置,同時利用雲端容量進行突發分析和長期歸檔。這種混合模式使機構能夠在不犧牲分析效能的前提下最佳化整體擁有成本。同時,對資料主權、隱私和跨境協作日益成長的關注,也促使企業做出更精細的部署選擇,並加強對供應商的實質審查調查。
營運實務也在不斷發展。資料管治架構、可重複的資料管線和標準化的資料格式正逐漸成為協作研究和臨床應用的先決條件。因此,整合策略控制、溯源追蹤和自動化功能的儲存策略正日益普及。這些變革要求相關人員以前瞻性的觀點存儲,將其視為一個能夠支持研究敏捷性和臨床信心的適應性平台。
2025 年關稅和貿易調整的實施,為依賴進口儲存組件和設備的企業在採購週期、硬體籌資策略和供應商選擇方面引入了新的變數。關稅變化可能會增加某些硬體類別的相對成本,並改變供應商的經濟效益,迫使採購團隊重新評估整體生命週期成本、供應商多元化以及資本支出和服務模式之間的平衡。為此,許多企業正在加快考慮服務合約、託管儲存產品以及以軟體為中心的解決方案,這些方案將儲存容量的成長與初始硬體採購脫鉤。
關稅也將影響供應商談判和區域籌資策略。依賴單一供應商採購特定型號設備的企業正在重新考慮多供應商策略和本地分銷合作夥伴,以降低供應鏈波動風險。這重新激發了人們對模組化架構的興趣,這種架構允許使用來自不同供應商的組件進行增量擴展,從而減少對受關稅影響的SKU的依賴。對軟體和雲端原生解決方案的影響更為微妙,但也依然顯著。硬體成本上漲可能會促使買家偏好訂閱模式、雲端容量和分層儲存策略,這些策略強調壓縮和生命週期管理。
監管合規性和互通性問題進一步影響著應對關稅帶來的成本壓力的措施。各機構必須確保成本最佳化措施不會損害資料完整性、來源或存取控制。因此,財務、採購和科研部門的領導層正在緊密合作,使採購與營運優先事項保持一致,並確保儲存決策既體現了財政審慎,也保障了科學研究的連續性。
透過對儲存類型、部署類型、最終用戶、定序平台和資料類型進行細分分析,可以清楚地了解需求和容量走向。就儲存類型而言,硬體部署仍然是需要本地效能和控制的組織的基礎,但對於不具備內部系統工程能力的機構來說,諮詢、整合、支援和維護等服務的重要性日益凸顯。專注於資料壓縮、資料管理和資料安全的軟體層起到放大器的作用,無需全面更新硬體即可有效擴展現有基礎設施的容量並對其進行有效管治。
部署模式的差異凸顯了雲端、混合和本地部署策略如何與組織優先順序相契合。純雲端方案為習慣遠端管治的團隊提供彈性以及簡化的供應商管理;混合模式則結合了本地部署的效能(用於處理活躍工作負載)和雲端的可擴展性(用於歸檔和突發運算)。私有雲端方案在法規環境中提供更多控制權,而公共雲端平台則支援快速擴展並與託管分析服務整合。
最終用戶細分凸顯了不同的需求:學術和研究機構,包括政府實驗室和大學,優先考慮靈活性、協作性和開放標準。醫療服務提供者,例如醫院和診所,要求嚴格的隱私控制、審核以及與臨床系統的整合。從小型生物技術公司到大型製藥企業,各種規模的製藥和生物技術公司都專注於高通量完整性、知識產權 (IP) 的監管鏈以及最佳化的工作流程,以加速藥物發現。定序平台的選擇也會影響儲存特性。長讀長定序系統(例如 Oxford Nanopore 和 PacBio)產生的檔案結構和存取模式與 Illumina 和 MGI 的短讀長定序技術不同,這會影響壓縮策略、索引結構和運算資源的配置。最後,資料類型細分區分了用於長期儲存的歸檔冷資料儲存和磁帶、用於二次分析的處理格式(例如 BAM 和 VCF)以及需要快速資料匯入流程和臨時高效能儲存的原始資料格式(例如 BCL 和 FASTQ)。了解這些部分如何交叉,可以創建客製化的架構,以滿足各種用例的效能、合規性和成本目標。
區域趨勢在製定儲存策略方面發揮著至關重要的作用。美洲、歐洲、中東和非洲以及亞太地區各自擁有不同的法規環境、基礎設施和資金籌措環境。在美洲,雲端運算的成熟應用、生物技術領域強勁的私人投資以及先進的研究網路,都催生了對可擴展、高效且與分析和臨床資訊學緊密整合的儲存解決方案的強勁需求。北美機構通常優先考慮那些能夠支援互通性、為協作計劃快速輸出資料以及快速擴展容量的服務協議。
歐洲、中東和非洲地區 (EMEA) 面臨著複雜的資料主權要求和基礎設施成熟度參差不齊的挑戰。該地區的組織重視能夠支援符合本地監管、嚴格隱私保護和多司法管轄區合規機制的供應商解決方案的部署模式。這促使他們傾向於採用可根據本地法規結構進行配置的混合架構和私有雲端部署。此外,合作聯盟和跨區域研究通常需要標準化的資料管理實踐和資料溯源追蹤。
亞太地區是一個充滿活力的區域,擁有高成長市場、顯著的定序能力擴張以及多元化的法規結構。快速發展的研究和臨床基因組學計畫推動了網路連接受限地區對本地部署設備的需求,以及網路基礎設施完善地區對雲端原生模式的需求。在全部區域,區域供應鏈、關稅風險和本地供應商生態系統都會影響採購決策,因此,制定具有地理意識的採購和部署策略對於確保營運彈性至關重要。
定序資料儲存領域的競爭格局涵蓋了成熟的基礎設施供應商、專業的儲存軟體供應商以及提供託管儲存和整合服務的服務公司。硬體供應商在效能、能源效率和模組化方面競爭,而軟體供應商則透過安全功能來脫穎而出,例如高級壓縮演算法、元資料為中心的資料管理、靜態和傳輸加密、基於角色的存取控制以及審核日誌記錄。服務供應商透過提供諮詢和系統整合服務,彌合原始容量與實際運作準備之間的差距,從而發揮日益重要的策略作用。
夥伴關係和生態系統策略是反覆出現的主題。系統整合商和雲端服務供應商正與定序平台和生物資訊軟體製造商合作,提供檢驗方案,以縮短部署時間並降低營運風險。供應商對互通性和基於標準的API持開放態度,加速了與流程編配工具和實驗室資訊管理系統的整合,最終減少了終端用戶的客製化工程工作量。採購團隊在評估供應商時,不僅應考慮技術契合度,還應考慮其支援服務、臨床認證流程以及在法規環境下的過往記錄。
最後,廠商業界降低 IT 資源有限的組織採用新技術的門檻,提供託管容量、資料生命週期自動化和與使用模式相關的基於消費的定價模式,使科研團隊能夠專注於成果而不是基礎設施管理。
產業領導者應採取務實且多管齊下的方法,使儲存架構與科學研究目標、合規要求和財務限制相契合。首先,應建立清晰的管治和資料生命週期策略,明確資料保留期限、存取控制和溯源要求,確保儲存決策以已記錄的營運需求為指導,而非臨時選擇。同時,應進行架構審查,將定序工作流程對應到儲存層級。優先考慮低延遲、高吞吐量的資源,用於即時資料擷取和進行初步分析,並將託管雲端或物件儲存用於儲存中間處理資料。在監管和可重複性要求允許的情況下,部署經濟高效的冷儲存層或磁帶以進行長期儲存。
籌資策略應包括供應商多元化、採用規避關稅風險的合約條款,以及評估基於服務的替代方案,將資本支出轉化為營運支出。投資於具備壓縮、索引和元資料驅動自動化功能的資料管理軟體,以最大限度地提高有效容量並簡化搜尋。加強IT、生物資訊學、法律和實驗室營運部門之間的跨職能協作,以確保儲存解決方案符合安全性、效能和合規性目標。
最後,試點混合模式,將運算和儲存部署在對低延遲要求極高的區域,並利用雲端的擴充性來應對高峰需求和災害復原。利用試點結果建構更廣泛部署的商業案例,並確保持續監控效能、成本和監管合規性,以便隨著技術和政策的發展調整策略。
本研究整合了定性和定量數據,以全面了解數據儲存排序。調查方法包括對資深儲存架構師、生物資訊主管和採購負責人進行專家訪談,以了解實際操作情況和實施障礙。對長讀長和短讀長平台儲存模式和文件類型的技術評估,為效能需求和分層策略的分析提供了基礎。來自學術、臨床和商業實驗室的案例研究,為架構選擇和操作權衡提供了實際檢驗。
資料收集包括對供應商產品文件的審查,以及對代表性儲存軟體、壓縮工具和整合功能的實際評估。該研究優先收集可重複的證據,例如基準測試的攝取速度、相關文件類型的壓縮效率以及已記錄的合規性。分析框架著重於將儲存功能與使用案例需求相匹配,進行與採購和海關風險相關的全生命週期風險評估,並分析區域監管影響和實施方案。
研究過程採用多源資訊來源三角驗證法,以減少偏差並確保建議的可行性。專有資料和客戶具體需求均已匿名化處理,以便在不洩漏機密資訊的前提下清晰展現決策流程。最終形成的調查方法兼具技術嚴謹性和實用性,能夠為制定儲存現代化計畫的相關人員提供參考。
高通量定序的廣泛應用、不斷變化的監管要求以及供應鏈經濟格局的轉變,三者之間的協同作用已將儲存從一項輔助功能提升為對科研和臨床成果具有切實影響的戰略領域。那些採用基於管治、分層架構和軟體最佳化的、精心設計的分段式儲存策略的機構,將更有能力維持科學研究效率、保護敏感資料並應對政策和成本壓力。資訊科技、生物資訊學、採購和法務部門之間的策略協調至關重要,以確保儲存選擇能夠提升長期營運韌性,而非僅僅追求短期便利。
在不同地區和最終用戶群體中,本地部署、混合部署和雲端部署方案之間的最佳平衡點會因效能需求、監管限制和連接實際情況而異。同樣,資費和供應鏈趨勢也凸顯了靈活採購的價值,並強調了軟體即服務 (SaaS) 模式的重要性,這種模式可以最大限度地降低資本成本波動帶來的風險。最終,隨著定序工作負載的不斷擴展,那些將儲存視為一種可管理、可演進的能力,並整合自動化、成熟的追蹤和跨供應商互通性的組織,將能夠更快地獲得洞察,降低風險,並以更永續運作。
這個結論性觀點強調了報告的核心前提:儲存決策是策略選擇,它直接影響發現的速度和臨床應用,因此應該與支援它們的定序平台和分析流程一樣,得到同樣的管治和投資。

The rapid expansion of sequencing activities across research institutions, clinical laboratories, and pharmaceutical R&D has created an urgent need to rethink how genomic data is stored, protected, and accessed. Advances in throughput and read length, combined with increasingly data-rich assays and regulatory demands for retention and traceability, have elevated storage from an operational commodity to a strategic asset that influences experimental design, collaboration models, and time-to-insight. Organizations that treat storage as an afterthought face bottlenecks in data transfer, rising operational complexity, and compromised analytical velocity.
Today's storage environment must reconcile competing imperatives: high-performance access for active analysis, cost-effective archiving for long-term regulatory and scientific reproducibility, robust security to safeguard sensitive patient and proprietary data, and flexible deployment to support distributed collaborations. The evolution of cloud-native architectures, tiered storage approaches, and specialized compression and data management tools is reshaping how institutions architect end-to-end sequencing pipelines. Consequently, storage strategy now plays a central role in enabling scalable, compliant, and economically sustainable genomic workflows.
This introduction frames the report's purpose: to examine technological dynamics, policy shifts, and operational practices that determine how sequencing-generated data is preserved and mobilized. By synthesizing technological developments, procurement considerations, and user needs, the following sections present actionable insights for leaders planning storage investments that align with scientific and commercial objectives.
The landscape for sequencing data storage is undergoing transformative shifts driven by innovations in sequencing instrumentation, data management software, and deployment paradigms. Instrumentation trends that increase throughput and read lengths create a persistent demand for scalable storage and high-bandwidth transfer capabilities, while software advancements such as intelligent tiering, compression, and metadata-driven orchestration reduce friction between raw data acquisition and downstream analytics. Together, these technological vectors are accelerating the shift from monolithic on-premises silos toward more fluid architectures that blend edge, core, and cloud elements.
Concurrently, the maturation of cloud ecosystems has altered procurement and operational models. Organizations are increasingly adopting hybrid approaches that keep latency-sensitive workloads close to compute resources while leveraging cloud capacity for burst analysis and long-term archiving. This hybrid posture allows institutions to optimize total cost of ownership without sacrificing analytical performance. At the same time, rising attention to data sovereignty, privacy, and cross-border collaboration is prompting more nuanced deployment choices and supplier due diligence processes.
Operational practices are also evolving. Data governance frameworks, reproducible pipelines, and standardized data formats have emerged as prerequisites for collaborative science and clinical translation. As a result, storage strategies that integrate policy controls, provenance tracking, and automation enjoy stronger adoption. These transformative shifts collectively demand that stakeholders adopt a forward-looking view of storage as an adaptable platform that underpins research agility and clinical reliability.
The introduction of tariffs and trade adjustments in 2025 has introduced new variables into procurement cycles, hardware sourcing strategies, and vendor selection for organizations reliant on imported storage components and appliances. Tariff changes increase the relative cost of certain hardware categories and may shift vendor economics, prompting procurement teams to revisit total lifecycle costs, supplier diversification, and the balance between capital expenditure and service-based models. In response, many organizations are accelerating explorations of service agreements, managed storage offerings, and software-centric solutions that decouple storage capacity growth from upfront hardware purchases.
Tariffs also influence supplier negotiations and regional sourcing strategies. Organizations that previously relied on single-source procurement for specific appliance models are reconsidering multi-vendor approaches and local distribution partners to mitigate supply-chain volatility. This has spurred renewed interest in modular architectures that allow incremental expansion using components from alternative suppliers, reducing dependency on tariff-affected SKUs. For software and cloud-native solutions, the impact is subtler but still material: increased hardware costs can shift buyer preferences toward subscription models, cloud capacity, and tiered retention strategies that emphasize compression and lifecycle policies.
Regulatory compliance and interoperability concerns further shape responses to tariff-driven cost pressures. Institutions must ensure that cost-optimization measures do not compromise data integrity, provenance, or access controls. As a result, finance, procurement, and scientific leadership are collaborating more closely to align sourcing with operational priorities, ensuring that storage decisions reflect both fiscal prudence and research continuity.
Analyzing segmentation across storage types, deployment modes, end users, sequencing platforms, and data types reveals distinct vectors of demand and capability. When storage type is considered, hardware adoption remains foundational for organizations requiring on-premises performance and control, while services encompassing consulting, integration, and support and maintenance are increasingly critical for institutions that lack in-house systems engineering capacity. Software layers focused on data compression, data management, and data security act as force multipliers, enabling existing infrastructure to deliver higher effective capacity and stronger governance without wholesale hardware replacement.
Deployment mode differentiation highlights how cloud, hybrid, and on-premises strategies map to institutional priorities. Pure cloud approaches provide elasticity and simplified vendor management for teams comfortable with remote governance, whereas hybrid models combine on-premises performance for active workloads with cloud scalability for archival and burst compute. Private cloud variants offer more control for regulated environments, while public cloud platforms enable rapid scaling and integration with managed analytics services.
End-user segmentation underscores varied requirements: academic and research institutes, including government research labs and universities, prioritize flexibility, collaboration, and open standards; healthcare providers such as hospitals and clinics demand stringent privacy controls, auditability, and integration with clinical systems; pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, spanning biotech SMEs and large pharma, focus on high-throughput integrity, chain-of-custody for IP, and optimized workflows that accelerate drug discovery. Sequencing platform choice also drives storage characteristics: long read systems such as those from Oxford Nanopore and PacBio generate distinct file profiles and access patterns compared with short read technologies from Illumina and MGI, influencing compression strategies, index structures, and compute co-location. Finally, data type segmentation differentiates archived cold storage and tape for long-term retention from processed formats like BAM and VCF used for secondary analysis, and raw formats such as BCL and FASTQ that require rapid ingest pipelines and temporary high-performance storage. Understanding how these segments intersect enables tailored architectures that meet performance, compliance, and cost objectives across diverse use cases.
Regional dynamics play a decisive role in shaping storage strategies, with distinctive regulatory, infrastructure, and funding environments across the Americas, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia-Pacific. In the Americas, mature cloud adoption, robust private investment in biotech, and advanced research networks create strong demand for scalable, high-performance storage solutions that integrate tightly with analytics and clinical informatics. North American institutions frequently prioritize interoperability, fast data egress for collaborative projects, and service agreements that support rapid capacity expansion.
The Europe, Middle East & Africa region faces a complex mosaic of data sovereignty requirements and heterogeneous infrastructure maturity. Organizations here place a premium on deployment models that support localized control, rigorous privacy safeguards, and vendor solutions that align with multijurisdictional compliance regimes. This drives preference for hybrid architectures and private cloud implementations that can be configured to local regulatory frameworks. Additionally, collaborative consortia and pan-regional research initiatives often necessitate standardized data management practices and provenance tracking.
Asia-Pacific presents a dynamic mix of high-growth markets, substantial sequencing capacity expansion, and varying regulatory frameworks. Rapidly expanding research and clinical genomics programs are increasing demand for both on-premises appliances in regions with constrained connectivity and cloud-native models in areas with robust network infrastructure. Across these regions, regional supply chains, tariff exposure, and local vendor ecosystems shape procurement decisions, making geographically informed sourcing and deployment strategies essential for resilient operations.
The competitive landscape for sequencing data storage encompasses established infrastructure vendors, specialized storage software providers, and service firms that offer managed storage and integration services. Hardware vendors compete on performance, energy efficiency, and modularity, while software suppliers differentiate through advanced compression algorithms, metadata-centric data management, and security features such as encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and audit logging. Service providers play an increasingly strategic role by delivering consulting and systems integration that bridge the gap between raw capacity and operational readiness.
Partnerships and ecosystem plays are a recurring theme: system integrators and cloud providers are collaborating with sequencing platform manufacturers and bioinformatics software makers to offer validated stacks that reduce time to deployment and operational risk. Vendor openness to interoperability and standards-based APIs accelerates integration with pipeline orchestration tools and laboratory information management systems, which in turn reduces bespoke engineering effort for end users. For procurement teams, vendor evaluation must balance technical fit with support capabilities, certification pathways for clinical use, and demonstrated experience in regulated environments.
Finally, innovation in the vendor community continues to lower barriers to adoption for organizations with limited IT resources by offering managed capacity, data lifecycle automation, and consumption-based pricing models that align cost with usage patterns, allowing science teams to focus on results rather than infrastructure management.
Industry leaders should adopt a pragmatic, multi-pronged approach that aligns storage architecture with scientific objectives, compliance needs, and financial constraints. Begin by establishing clear governance and data lifecycle policies that define retention periods, access controls, and provenance requirements so that storage decisions follow documented operational imperatives rather than ad hoc choices. Simultaneously, conduct an architecture review that maps sequencing workflows to storage tiers: prioritize low-latency, high-throughput resources for active raw-data ingest and primary analysis; designate managed cloud or object storage for intermediate processed data; and implement cost-efficient cold tiers or tape for long-term archival where regulatory and reproducibility needs permit.
Procurement strategies should include supplier diversification, contract terms that protect against tariff-driven volatility, and evaluation of service-based alternatives that transform capital expenses into operational expenditures. Invest in data management software that provides compression, indexing, and metadata-driven automation to maximize usable capacity and streamline retrieval. Strengthen cross-functional collaboration between IT, bioinformatics, legal, and laboratory operations to ensure that storage solutions meet security, performance, and compliance objectives.
Finally, pilot hybrid models that co-locate compute and storage where low latency is critical while leveraging cloud elasticity for peak demand and disaster recovery. Use pilot outcomes to build business cases for broader rollouts, and ensure continuous monitoring of performance, costs, and regulatory posture to adapt strategy as technologies and policies evolve.
This research synthesized qualitative and quantitative inputs to produce a comprehensive perspective on sequencing data storage. The methodology combined expert interviews with senior storage architects, bioinformatics leads, and procurement officers to capture operational realities and adoption barriers. Technical assessments of storage patterns and file profiles across long read and short read platforms informed analysis of performance requirements and tiering strategies. Case studies from academic, clinical, and commercial labs provided real-world validation of architecture choices and operational trade-offs.
Data collection included vendor product literature review and hands-on evaluation of representative storage software, compression tools, and integration capabilities. The research prioritized reproducible evidence such as benchmarked ingest rates, compression efficacy on relevant file types, and documented compliance features. Analytical frameworks focused on aligning storage capabilities with use-case requirements, assessing total lifecycle risks associated with procurement and tariff exposure, and mapping regional regulatory influences to deployment choices.
Throughout, findings were triangulated across multiple sources to reduce bias and ensure that recommendations reflect operational feasibility. Where proprietary data or client-specific concerns arose, anonymized examples were used to illustrate decision pathways without compromising confidentiality. The resulting methodology balances technical rigor with practical applicability for stakeholders planning storage modernization initiatives.
The confluence of high-throughput sequencing, evolving regulatory expectations, and shifting supply-chain economics has elevated storage from a background utility to a strategic domain that materially affects scientific and clinical outcomes. Organizations that adopt intentional, segment-aware storage strategies-grounded in governance, tiered architectures, and software-enabled optimization-will be better positioned to sustain research productivity, protect sensitive data, and respond to policy and cost pressures. Strategic alignment across IT, bioinformatics, procurement, and legal functions is essential to ensure storage choices serve long-term operational resilience rather than short-term convenience.
Across regions and end-user types, the optimal balance between on-premises, hybrid, and cloud approaches depends on performance needs, regulatory constraints, and connectivity realities. Likewise, tariff and supply-chain dynamics underscore the value of flexible procurement and an emphasis on software and service models that minimize exposure to capital cost fluctuations. Ultimately, the organizations that treat storage as a managed, evolving capability-incorporating automation, provenance tracking, and vendor interoperability-will unlock faster insights, reduce risk, and achieve more sustainable operations as sequencing workloads continue to scale.
This concluding perspective underscores the central premise of the report: storage decisions are strategic choices that directly influence the pace of discovery and the viability of clinical translation, and they deserve the same level of governance and investment as the sequencing platforms and analytics pipelines they support.
