Case Study: SeqOIA Accelerates Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis with VAST Data

VAST Data Accelerates Analysis of Whole- Genome Sequencing Data by 4X at SeqOIA Medical Biology Laboratory

Seqoia, a French medical biology laboratory specializing in genomic medicine, needed a faster way to analyze whole-genome sequencing data for medical diagnostics. Its existing hard-drive-based storage solution was hitting performance limits on large genetic datasets, causing delays and lost analysis. Seqoia chose VAST Data’s all-flash Universal Storage platform to support its high-throughput sequencing workflows.

With VAST Data, Seqoia accelerated genome analysis by 4X and eliminated unresolved data read/write attempts, reducing errors and helping avoid delayed patient results. The platform also gave the lab the flexibility to scale storage and compute independently, while VAST Data’s similarity-based data reduction enabled Seqoia to double data volume without increasing storage spend.
