Business challenge
To advance our understanding of the human genome, scientists must process vast amounts of data. However, many research centers struggle to manage the immense volume of data they generate, so that they can put it to its best use.
Transformation
L7 teamed up with IBM to build a HPC environment in the cloud, leveraging IBM® Spectrum technology for flexible, highly scalable data storage and user-friendly workload management.
“We were able to cut the run time of one standard genome analysis pipeline down from 24 hours to just over an hour—a time saving of 96 percent.”
—Chris Mueller, Founder, L7 Informatics
