Managing the Modern Genomics Data Flood
Sponsored by SGI

Managing and storing the perfect storm of multi-disciplined data pouring from next generation sequencers and other omics instruments is a central challenge in life sciences. Discover in this paper how the SGI ArcFiniti storage solution, optimized for unstructured genomics and life sciences data can: 

  • Reduce costs, proactively protect data integrity, and deliver the high performance I/O required for genomics data processing and analysis.  
  • Effectively manage capacities from 156TB to 1.4PB as a disk based, integrated hardware and software platform

Turning Genomics Data into Practical Insight
Sponsored by SGI

With worldwide sequencing capacity approaching 13 quadrillion DNA bases annually turning genomics data into knowledge is a true computational challenge. Read this paper and learn how the SGI UV coherent shared memory platform can:  

  • Speed results time while cost competitively tackling the most difficult computational problems across all omics disciplines. 
  • Push performance by scaling to extraordinary levels, up to 256 sockets (2,560 cores, 4,096 threads) per single system (one OS image). 

Provide support for up to 16TB of coherent shared memory in a single system image enabling extreme efficiency across a wide range of compute demands.

New Complimentary Market Survey…
Collaborations and Communications Within Drug Discovery Research
Sponsored by Accelrys
This survey was conducted by the Cambridge Healthtech Media Group in January, 2012. It was sponsored by Accelrys related to their HEOS initiative to gather valid information around externalizing collaborative research while improving communications in the cloud. With 310 qualified industry respondents the survey findings reveal useful usage and trends patterns.  An insightful follow-on discussion and webinar related to this survey, and the HEOS by Scynexis SaaS portal is also available on the Bio-IT World website for complementary viewing.
