Enabling data custodians and researchers

Securely collaborate with global partners

Bring partners and researchers together in a Terra Workspace for secure collaboration across regions and organizations. Share data, tools, and analyses for accelerated scientific discoveries.

Manage and discover datasets

Manage dataset access and use, control shared datasets, and monitor data lineage with the Terra Data Repository. Explore public and controlled-access datasets from the Terra Data Catalog, and combine them with private datasets for expanded research opportunities.

Scale genomics analyses

Complete multi-modal and reproducible analyses using the library of available tools, or bring your own to discover new insights.

Supporting enterprise customers

Built to be enterprise ready

Terra natively supports single sign-on (SSO) with Azure Active Directory.

Offers a PaaS not Saas solution

Terra deploys cloud resources into your Azure tenant, allowing you to apply your Enterprise Agreements to your use of Terra and giving you greater control over the resources and tools in your Terra environment.

Connects to other Azure services

Draw on Azure innovations that are beneficial to biomedical analysis, such as those in Azure confidential computing for data privacy, Azure Synapse for data analytics, Azure Purview for data governance, and Azure Machine Learning for machine learning.

Integrates with Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare

Deep integration with Microsoft healthcare offerings, such as Azure Health Services (FHIR, HL7, DICOM, IoMT), giving you seamless access to multi-modal biomedical data and analysis.
