Case Study: Leading Biotechnology Company achieves high-performance, scalable storage for analytics and big data with Paradigm Technology and IBM Spectrum Storage

Leading Biotechnology Company Gains High Performance Storage for Analytics & Big Data

Leading Biotechnology Company, a leader in molecular profiling and cancer treatment support, faced rapidly growing and highly variable data demands as its genomic sequencing operations expanded. With an 800% increase in data volume in less than 10 months, the company needed a scalable, high-performance infrastructure to support analytics, big data, and next-generation sequencing. Paradigm Technology was engaged to help address these storage and compute challenges.

Paradigm Technology implemented IBM NextScale M5 compute nodes along with the IBM Spectrum storage family, including Spectrum Scale, DCS3700 expansion storage, Spectrum Protect, and IBM TS3310 Tape expansion. The solution delivered elastic scalability and high performance for analytics and big data, optimized data economics through tiering from flash to disk to tape, and reduced genomic sequencing time-to-market by 30%.
