Gen3 Data Commons Architecture

---

User access to the Gen3 Commons runs through a VPC or Virtual Private Cloud. Access to data and analysis tools through a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) allows for balance of usability and security. All access is through a monitored head node. Data is not directly accessed from the Internet.

Other secure and compliant Gen3 member systems (including cloud based systems) can access Gen3 data through the API.
