Case Study: Fulgent Genetics achieves 30% faster test results and 90% smaller data center footprint with Dell Technologies

AI-powered diagnostics accelerate test results for Fulgent Genetics patients at life’s vital moments

Fulgent, a leading genomic testing company, faced growing strain on its infrastructure as it processed thousands of genetic tests daily—each producing gigabytes of data and taking up to three days to complete. To accelerate diagnoses and improve accuracy with AI-enabled workflows, Fulgent turned to Dell Technologies, deploying Dell AI Solutions along with Dell PowerEdge servers, PowerStore storage and Dell HPC solutions to handle scale, security and data-intensive genomics.

Dell Technologies implemented a modernized backend—PowerEdge for high-performance processing, PowerStore for adaptive storage and built-in protections, and HPC/AI tooling to streamline workflows—delivering a 30% increase in processing speed, a 90% reduction in data center footprint, and data compression ratios of 8:1–9:1 that reduced infrastructure needs and costs. The Dell Technologies solution also improved pathology turnaround times, boosted resiliency and security, and enabled faster, more accurate results for patients.
