# Can I run multiple alignments at the same time?

Yes! CUTANA™ Cloud offers significant advantages for researchers by enabling the simultaneous processing of multiple alignments. The number of concurrent alignments a user can run is directly tied to the budget allocated to their billing account, providing scalable flexibility.

A key benefit of leveraging CUTANA™ Cloud is the dramatic increase in experimental throughput. Users can efficiently upload numerous experimentally-derived FASTQ files, meticulously construct their Reaction sheet, and align all data to a reference genome in a single, streamlined operation. This integrated workflow drastically reduces the time and manual effort typically associated with individual alignment runs, allowing researchers to accelerate their data analysis and move more quickly to biological interpretation.
