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.
