Addressing massive data growth challenges in life sciences with a smart archive


The pace of innovation in life sciences has resulted in enormous data growth, often overwhelming the storage systems required to support it. As genomics moves from the laboratory into precision medicine, the research data is too vital to be archived on inefficient, unsecure storage solutions. HPC environments commonly produce extreme volumes of unstructured data, which need to be stored in durable, forever archives, enabling researchers and engineers to move seamlessly from raw data to analysis to actionable insights. For unstructured data archives to fulfil their promise and help


accelerate research, they need to get smart. Quantum, the leader in unstructured data storage and management, offers the easiest path to a ‘smart archive’ with ATFS and ActiveScale, and multi-tiered storage offerings that are optimised to meet the data-intensive requirements of today’s genomics workflows – and to preserve and protect life science data for decades.
