-This guide provides a reference for using Arvados to solve big data bioinformatics problems, including:
+Arvados is an "open source":copying/copying.html platform for managing, processing, and sharing genomic and other large scientific and biomedical data. With Arvados, bioinformaticians run and scale compute-intensive workflows, developers create biomedical applications, and IT administrators manage large compute and storage resources.
-* 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 genomic analysis pipelines, such as alignment and variant calls using the "Arvados Crunch":{{site.baseurl}}/user/tutorials/intro-crunch.html cluster compute engine.
-* Accessing, organizing, and sharing data, pipelines and results using the "Arvados Workbench":{{site.baseurl}}/user/getting_started/workbench.html web application.
