+Arvados is an open source platform for managing, processing, and sharing genomic and other large scientific and biomedical data. This guide provides a reference for using Arvados to solve scientific big data problems, including:
* Robust storage of very large files, such as whole genome sequences, using the "Arvados Keep":{{site.baseurl}}/user/tutorials/tutorial-keep.html content-addressable cluster file system.
* Running compute-intensive scientific analysis pipelines, such as genomic alignment and variant calls using the "Arvados Crunch":{{site.baseurl}}/user/tutorials/intro-crunch.html cluster compute engine.
