Instantly Deploy Massive Bioinformatics Jobs in the Cloud
One command to provision high-memory VMs, run containerized workflows, and manage reproducible environments with zero DevOps overhead.
Why Use Thoa?
Instant Access
Login, create your API key, and run jobs in minutes. No cluster queues. No setup. No waiting.
Zero Learning Curve
Just run one command. No need to manage infrastructure or hire cloud engineers.
Only Pay When You Run
No idle cluster costs, no surprises. Save thousands.
Effortlessly Reproducible
Track every run: what, when, and how, forever. Instantly share and rerun results.
Huge Compute, Instantly
Spin up to 12 TB RAM VMs in seconds, optimized for genomics, single-cell, and ML-heavy pipelines.
Native Workflow Support
Run Snakemake, Nextflow, or Bioconda tools with full control over environments.
Built for postdocs, collaborators, and any scientist who values time, clarity, and control.
Security, Privacy, and Control
Keep your data safe while you move fast. Encryption everywhere, isolated compute, and clear auditability by design.
Defense in Depth
Strong transport and storage encryption with strict separation between environments.
Isolated Compute
Workloads run on isolated, ephemeral machines. Nothing persists unless you choose to save it.
Auditability
Every job is traceable: inputs, parameters, artifacts, and timestamps all in one place.
Transparent, Predictable Pricing
You only pay for what you compute. No surprises.
Pay-as-you-Go
Launch ultra-high-memory virtual machines, run workflows, and shut them down when done. Billing is per VM-hour, and you control every step.
Example: 128 GB RAM VM = ~$0.90/hour
Larger VMs: Scale up to 12 TB RAM as needed
