Case Study: University of Guelph simplifies genomic data analysis with Adastra and Microsoft Azure

University of Guelph speeds genomic analysis 3x with Adastra

The University of Guelph's Genomics Facility needed a scalable solution for its researchers to process and share massive genomic data files. Their on-premises infrastructure was causing delays, and they required a system with on-demand analytics capacity and strict cost governance to prevent excessive cloud spending. Microsoft engaged Adastra as an Azure expert to address these challenges.

Adastra implemented a solution using Microsoft Power Apps to create an intuitive user interface that abstracts the underlying complexity of Azure services. The application features tiered user roles for control and approval workflows, allowing researchers to complete complex analytics processes three times faster. Adastra's solution provided the university with efficient large-scale data processing, financial controls, and a simple-to-navigate UI.
