SGI’s Data Management Framework (DMF) software – when used within personalized medicine applications – provides a large-scale, storage virtualization and tiered data management platform specifically engineered to administer the billions of files and petabytes of structured and unstructured fixed content generated by highly scalable and extremely dynamic life sciences applications.
SGI UV as a Converged Compute and Data Management Platform
In life sciences, perhaps more than any other HPC discipline, simplicity is key. The SGI solution meets this requirement by delivering a single system that scales to huge capabilities by unifying compute, memory, and storage. Researchers and scientists in personalized medicine (and most life sciences) are typically not computer science experts and want a simple development and usage model that enables them to focus on their research and projects.
High-Throughput Genomic Sequencing Workflow
A workflow to support genomic sequencing requires a collaborative effort between many research groups and a process from initial sampling to final analysis. Learn the 4 steps involved in pre-processing.
Enabling Personalized Medicine through Genomic Workflow Acceleration
If the keys to health, longevity, and a better overall quality of life are encoded in our individual genetic make-up then few advances in the history of medicine can match the significance and potential impact of the Human Genome Project. Instigated in 1985 and since that time, the race has been centered on dramatically improving the breadth and depth of genomic understanding as well as reducing the costs involved in sequencing, storing, and processing an individual’s genomic information.
