For potentially saving countless lives and leading the United States’ fight against infectious diseases, the CDC wins this year’s Pure Storage Greatest of All Time Award.

Challenges

When COVID-19 hit, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found itself in a race against time. The ability to process data quickly became a matter of life and death. The CDC’s genomic surveillance efforts have sped up dramatically since reimagining its storage environment, with sequencing workloads that used to take days now taking just minutes.
