Solution Brief
GENOMICS
Bringing Modular Object
Storage to Genomics
Challenge Summary
Genomics is a branch of biotechnology focusing on the study of gene sequencing,
analysis, and modification of
DNA. As such, it has raised the demand for massive data storage, data services, and data placement automation.
Benefits Summary
" High-density, modular,
pay-as-you-go, scale-out storage can be used across multiple sites under a single namespace
" Policy-driven data management and data placement delivers extreme efficiency
" Configurable data security
" Turnkey, worry-free deployment and locality services
" Built to lower TCO and data center footprint
Genomics data is soaring rapidly and so are the challenges of storing, managing, and distributing it. Seagate, SwiftStack, and DC
BLOX are working to change that.
To address data center challenges brought on by the growing study of genomics,
Seagate is working with SwiftStack and DC BLOX to combine versatile, high-density systems with powerful, flexible software-defined storage. The result? Scalable,
manageable, cost-effective, easy-to-deploy object storage.
