Biosciences

Biotechnology firms, pharmaceutical companies, and research institutions who are actively involved in genomics, proteomics, and molecular modeling and simulation are producing massive datasets that are growing exponentially. This explosion in genomic and proteomic information, especially from the latest Next-Gen Sequencers, and the emergence of data-intensive molecular diagnostic techniques demand a scalable, high performance storage infrastructure.

Panasas ActiveStor systems provide scalable bandwidth and random I/O to accelerate throughput for the most demanding life sciences applications. Scalable capacity ensures that multiple versions of genomic databases can be maintained and quickly made available across a workflow for computational chemistry, bioinformatics, and other data-intensive applications. Large datasets, such as micro array or mass spectrometry images, are effectively managed within a single scalable namespace and shared among researchers to streamline collaboration.
