Challenges

When COVID-19 hit, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found itself in a race against time. The ability to process data quickly became a matter of life and death. The CDC’s genomic surveillance efforts have sped up dramatically since reimagining its storage environment, with sequencing workloads that used to take days now taking just minutes.

Results

Business Transformation

Helps the CDC to intervene sooner, save lives, and reduce illness
Aids in the development of life-saving vaccines and improves food safety
Supports data workloads for departments across the CDC

IT Transformation

Sequencing workloads that used to take days now take just minutes
Enables array upgrades with zero interruption to its data-driven operations
Reduced storage footprint in its data center from three racks to half a rack

“Together, we built a storage environment that could support bioinformatics analysis and Nextflow-based workflow management while ensuring ease of use, simplicity, and availability. Our goal is to deliver the fastest storage, fastest compute times, and fastest way for researchers to get their work done.”
