Operational Impact
The solution delivers unprecedented levels of throughput and scalability to support tens of thousands of data sequences requiring up to 10,000 CPU hours of computational analysis. | |
The Institute is well positioned to keep pace with advancements in sequencing technology with storage that can scale seamlessly without replacement or forklift upgrades. | |
Flexible scaling ensures that Sanger Institute has sufficient storage performance to support downstream analysis, which is difficult to predict and varies by workload and project. | |
Quantitative Benefit
The Institute's storage performance has been increased from 3GB/s to 20GB/s. | |
The Institute now has 22.5 petabytes of usable storage capacity. | |
