The data produced by the next generation proteomics requests a powerful, integrated data processing and analyzing online platform, which can host millions of datasets and analyze hundreds and thousands of experiments at a time. However, such a platform is under developed. Here, we launched FIRMIANA (V1.0) (www.firmiana.org), a cloud Proteomics platform that allows data repository, proteome identification, quantification, bioinformatics analysis, result visualization and knowledge mining in an automated fashion. Up to now, FIRMIANA 1.0 hosted and processed over 3,000 experimental proteome datasets (>600M MS spectra) from 28 laboratories, allowing proteome comparison and bioinformatics analysis for hundreds of datasets. As a big data platform, FIRMIANA 1.0 is connecting to other databases to achieve multi-omics integration of life sciences, bridging data to knowledge. We envision that FIRMIANA 1.0 and its subsequent high-performance-computing (HPC) version will play an important role in facilitating proteomics in biology and medicine.
