The need of benefitting from the cloud technology is emerging in almost every discipline in which data size is gradually increasing. Bioinformatics is a field that can produce more data every passing day as a result of emerging scientific advances (high-throughput technologies, etc.). Processing and sharing data is as much important as storing data which can produce results affecting all creatures, particularly human being. In today’s technologies, the road to the light passes through cloud. It is seen that many cloud solutions special to bioinformatics have been created in recent years. These can emerge as software, platform or infrastructure solutions. In this study, it is aimed to determine positive and negative sides by comparing free cloud infrastructure systems used for bioinformatics data. For this purpose, cloud solutions that can meet the needs of bioinformatics field will be briefly mentioned by giving information about cloud information technologies and free infrastructure solutions will be compared. Consequently, the infrastructure to be established should have support through web in order to make a selection between compared systems. Apart from this, if the software needed in bioinformatics is found as predefined, this will be seen as an important reason for preference for the cloud infrastructure system to be used.
