Results

Antimicrobial resistance and new coronaviruses are placing modern medicine under siege. A dramatic uptick in sequencing, driven by COVID, put tremendous stress on the McArthur Lab computing infrastructure. Data from massive genomic datasets were doubling every three months. Storage was costly and couldn’t keep up with the demands of gene sequencing technology.

Business Transformation

Analyzes select genomic datasets over 300x faster than previous storage
Powers collective global effort to identify and monitor health threats
Helped isolate live COVID-19 virus, contributing to drug testing and development

IT Transformation

Processes large research datasets twice as fast at one-third of the cost
Handles terabytes of data more efficiently for new DNA sequencing technology, including AI and ML projects
Scales storage capacity easily to support additional research and clinical partnerships

“There’s no point in playing with traditional storage because it’s just not fast enough. With Pure Storage FlashBlade, we can stay ahead of the curve as we fight global threats to human health.”
