Managing Data Growth in Life Sciences
In today’s life science and research environments, the amount of data being created by current and next-generation instruments threatens to overwhelm existing storage infrastructures, slowing research productivity and dramatically increasing costs. To stay ahead of such extreme data growth and in order to maximize the value of this truly mission-critical information, research organisations must be able to efficiently store, secure, access and analyse this data at an unprecedented rate.
S3 provide scalable, high-performance, pay as you grow solutions, specifically designed to effectively store, secure and manage rapidly growing stores of file-based information, such as sequence and biomedical research data. S3 enable leading life science and research organisations, such as EBI and Sanger Institute, to focus on their science, not their storage.
