Sharing Genomic Data Securely with Teams Without Cloud

Cloud was burdensome, and USB was inconvenient

I'm the CEO of a startup pharmaceutical company handling genomic data. For research and clinical collaboration, I frequently needed to share genomic data and NGS files, but uploading to the cloud required handling patient consent and other issues, which was always burdensome.

I also used USB drives and external hard drives, but I worried about losing them and, above all, it was too inconvenient.

I thought about creating a dedicated internal server, but since I don't know much about IT, I was concerned it would be complex and expensive.

Without needing to build a separate server, our office PCs became secure sharing spaces

With SetFN, our existing office PCs became secure sharing spaces right away.

Installation was simple, and we could leave comments and track changes for each file, so communication was centralized in one place.

Large NGS data could be shared at internal network speeds, dramatically reducing upload and download waiting times.

Most importantly, I was relieved knowing that sensitive research data and patient information never left our company boundaries.

Now we share data with peace of mind

Even without being IT-savvy, we were able to establish a genomic data collaboration environment without major investment or complex setup. It's a practically perfect choice for a small pharmaceutical company like ours.
