Accelerating Secondary Genomic Analysis in a Hybrid Cloud

Life sciences organisations are increasing their use of genomics to develop new therapies and to identify the root causes of numerous diseases. Many research organisations are interested in using hybrid cloud to augment their onsite capabilities for genomics secondary analysis, which is data-intensive.

Explore how Illumina, Microsoft Azure and Pure Storage® on Equinix Metal demonstrate how to scale secondary analysis in a hybrid cloud environment with cloud-adjacent storage, while maintaining fast performance and cost-effectiveness.

Highlights

  • Cost-effectiveness – Compared to other storage offerings in Azure, Pure Storage is up to 50% more cost-effective with respect to capacity and bandwidth for analysing multi-genome samples in parallel.
  • Parallel sequencing – FlashBlade enables users to sequence up to 50 genomic samples simultaneously while maintaining consistent and fast completion times.
  • Efficiency and seamless replication between on-premises and cloud – Eliminate the time previously needed to copy genomic data to local storage on each virtual machine and accelerate time to answer.
  • Scalability – Scale sequencing workflows in the cloud with more compute power and low latency.
