Tower is a full-stack application for Nextflow data analysis pipelines. It brings monitoring, logging & observability, to your distributed workflows and simplifies the deployment of workflows on any cloud, cluster or laptop.
The execution launchpad allows users to run pipelines with ease while the flexible API provides programmatic integration to meet your organization's exacting needs.
What is Nextflow?#
Nextflow is a framework for the development of data pipelines. It enables developers and data scientists to create and securely deploy custom, parallel data applications in the cloud or on traditional, on-premise infrastructure. Nextflow is characterized by a powerful dataflow programming paradigm coupled with execution engines that allow for transparent deployment.
Nextflow is both a programming workflow language and an execution runtime that supports a wide range of execution platforms including popular traditional grid scheduling systems such as Slurm, and IBM LSF as well as cloud services such as AWS Batch and Google Cloud Life Sciences.
Why Nextflow Tower?#
We created Nextflow in 2013 to deliver the most seamless experience for executing data pipelines at scale. Tower is the continuation of that mission. Encompassing the latest technologies, we have built the solution to easily execute and monitor pipelines across every step. Tower brings the cloud closer than ever before with automated resource provisioning and role-based access control.
Tower has been designed from day one to be installed easily in any environment - data and compute never leaves your organization's security boundary. It has been extensively tested with over 125 million jobs to date and zero down time.
As mandated by healthcare industries to ensure compliance, the Tower platform is regularly submitted to penetration tests and security scanning. These tests meet compliance standards set by ISO-27001, HIPAA, and HITRUST.
