The BioMedIT project is funded by the Swiss government as an integral part of the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN), aiming to provide researchers with access to a secure, powerful and versatile IT infrastructure for doing data-driven research on sensitive biomedical data while ensuring data privacy protection. The BioMedIT network gives researchers the ability to securely transfer, store, manage and process sensitive research data. The underlying BioMedIT nodes provide compute and storage capacity that can be used locally or through a federated environment. The network operates under a common Information Security Policy using state-of-the-art security techniques. It utilizes cloud computing, virtualization, compute accelerators (GPUs), big data storage as well as federation technologies to lower computational boundaries for researchers and to guarantee that sensitive data can be processed in a secure and lawful way. Building on existing expertise and research infrastructure at the partnering Swiss institutions, the BioMedIT network establishes a competitive Swiss private-cloud - a secure national infrastructure resource that can be used by researchers of Swiss universities, hospitals and other research institutions.
生物医学信息技术（BioMedIT）项目由瑞士政府资助，作为瑞士个性化健康网络（SPHN）的一个组成部分，旨在为研究人员提供一个安全、强大且通用的信息技术基础设施，以便在确保数据隐私保护的同时，对敏感生物医学数据进行数据驱动型研究。BioMedIT网络使研究人员能够安全地传输、存储、管理和处理敏感研究数据。底层的BioMedIT节点提供计算和存储能力，可在本地使用或通过联合环境使用。该网络依据通用的信息安全政策，采用最先进的安全技术运行。它利用云计算、虚拟化、计算加速器（GPU）、大数据存储以及联合技术，为研究人员降低计算界限，并确保敏感数据能够以安全合法的方式进行处理。基于合作的瑞士机构现有的专业知识和研究基础设施，BioMedIT网络建立了一个具有竞争力的瑞士私有云——一个可供瑞士大学、医院和其他研究机构的研究人员使用的安全的国家基础设施资源。
