BlueBee Establishes Data Center in Mainland China, Expanding Global Coverage for its Genomics Data Platform
RIJSWIJK, Netherlands, October 9,2019/PRNewswire--AsiaNet/

BlueBee, a global bioinformatics solutions provider, has extended data 
operations to mainland China to serve genomic data processing needs in 
compliance with The Chinese Ministry of Health and Technology. This strategic 
move will serve existing and new BlueBee customers who integrate bioinformatic 
data solutions with their analytical instruments, omics assay technology, or 
high-throughput laboratory services. BlueBee expects that this investment will 
result in mutual growth for BlueBee and its partner clients due to immediate 
demand from its existing customer base and projected growth of the Chinese 
genomics market.    

Many geographical regions require that personal health information (PHI), which 
includes genomics data, and personal identification information (PII), remain 
within the regional border. Because of this, BlueBee continues to build its 
global infrastructure for omics-related health data. Currently the BlueBee 
Genomics Platform is enabled in over 50 countries, and beyond, in virtually any 
defined “region” on demand. Geographical regions that are enabled to date 
include: in Europe: France, Belgium, The Netherlands, England, Germany, Italy, 
Denmark, Finland; in the Americas: USA, Canada, Brazil; and in Asia Pacific: 
China, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan. 

A single BlueBee data solution can span any number of discrete geographies 
while still achieving regional data residency and compliance. This includes a 
“single window” orchestration layer, which presents a global, centralized view 
of all data operations on the BlueBee platform. This means that distributed 
operations of a global assay or service provider can be accessed in real time 
from virtually anywhere on the globe. 

“We were drawn to setting up our mainland China data center to meet the demands 
of  partner clients,” says Hans Cobben, CEO BlueBee. “Serving the global 
community remains at the helm of our mandate, and we built a technology 
solution that is literally capable of serving the Chinese population—which 
represents a fifth of the world’s population, on demand, while meeting data 
compliance requirements. We are now poised with a pipeline of prospects looking 
to launch commercial molecular assay or service offerings in China with an 
integrated data analytics solution,” Cobben adds.
