“Storage for Science – Methods for Managing Large and Rapidly Growing Data Stores in Life Science Research Environments” sponsored by Isilon
Large and rapidly growing stores of file-based and other data are a hallmark of life science research and bioinformatics. Determining how best to manage those data stores has become a significant challenge for Researchers and IT Pros alike.

This paper is intended to:

  • Provide guidance on the many storage requirements common to Life Science research;
  • Explain the evolution of modern storage architectures;
  • Summarize the major data storage architectures currently in use.

Additionally, it will present the Isilon IQ clustered storage product as a strong and flexible solution to those needs. Download now
