With Isilon scale-out NAS, Pharmacogenomics Centre has unified both its DNA sequencing and DNA analysis operations onto a single, shared pool of storage, enabling highly concurrent processing of genomic data to increase productivity and speed time-to-results. Additionally, with Isilon's OneFS?® operating system providing 'pay as you grow' scalability, Pharmacogenomics Centre can scale both performance and capacity on-demand to meet the dramatic and unpredictable growth of data within its high-throughput sequencing environment.

"Next-generation genetics research is opening entirely new ways of undertaking critical drug discovery research," said Chris Blessington, senior director of marketing and communications, Isilon Systems. "Pharamcogenomics Centre's successful use of Isilon IQ to advance this new era of drug development is demonstrative of the inherent performance, capacity, and manageability advantages of our scale-out NAS solutions for data-rich life sciences organizations."
