National Center for Genome Resources expands gene sequencing and research operations using Kognitio WX2 analytical database |
|
"WX2 is allowing us to perform research that just wasn't possible before. Kognitio's technology, willingness to make our installation a success, and understanding of the genomic space, have all helped to make this implementation of immense benefit to us. As genomic sequencing continues to expand, we are confident that WX2 will fit perfectly into our plans."
Dr. Ernest Retzel, Program Leader, NCGR
The Challenge
With the volumes of data being produced from its production operations in genome sequencing increasing at a near-exponential rate and with clients requiring rapid turnaround on their projects, NCGR realized that it would soon reach the limits of its current technology.
The Solution
NCGR deployed Kognitio's WX2 purpose-built analytical database to load and query multiple terabytes of data, ensuring that its bioinformatics and analytical operations could keep pace with current and future increases in the amounts of data produced by its gene sequencing operations.
The ROI
By using Kognitio WX2, NCGR has been able to accelerate its bioinformatics operations to keep pace with demand, which complements their world-class genome sequencing center and processes. WX2 has also allowed NCGR to expand the scope of its investigations and experimentations, by allowing entire sets of genomic data to be queried in extremely short times.
