BC Cancer Agency Genome Sciences Centre Speeds Biological Breakthroughs by Standardizing on Network Appliance
Category: Storage
Tags: information management, management, data
Overview Canada's Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre (GSC) advances cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment via high-throughput genome mapping and DNA sequencing. The challenge was to scale to tens of millions of files and eliminate disruptive crashes. GSC also wanted to boost performance for heavy I/O and secure regulated patient data. The bulk of GSC data, including production pipelines for genome mapping and DNA sequencing, scientists' project data, computational analyses, encrypted patient data, and lab information management system data, resides on a high-end NetApp Fabric-Attached Storage (FAS) system with 14TB capacity.
