Breaking Through Real World Storage Barriers in Next Generation Sequencing
Sponsored by BlueArc

To effectively and efficiently manage the rapidly increasing needs of an NGS research environment numerous considerations for data management become important in moving today’s terabyte and petabyte levels of data. Some key concerns can include:

  • Maintaining enough  headroom to handle additional and unplanned data growth
  • How to address mixed workloads
  • Working with multiple file and network protocols
  • Dealing with aging data
  • Optimizing varied storage subsystems already in place while preparing for new floods of data to come

This paper investigates trends and solutions in addressing these issues, and more, for life science professionals.
