Containers, Automation, and Nextflow Accelerate Genomic Data Processing

From climate-resistant crops to the ability to predict the level of disease risk in healthy individuals, genomics — the study of the full genetic balance of an organism — holds great promise for the world. It’s a data-intensive field where reproducibility, efficient management, and fast processing of large amounts of data are essential. One thing that slows down that processing is doing things manually. That was the case for a recent ClearScale customer. Lack of the right IT architecture required one

The Challenge A financial analytics company's data analysis application had proved highly successful, but that success was also a problem. With a growing number of isolated data centers generating constant data streams, it was increasingly difficult to efficiently gather, store, and analyze all that data. The company knew a cloud-based Big Data analytics infrastructure would help, specifically a data ingestion pipeline that could aggregate data streams from individual data centers into a central cloud-based data storage. One of the challenges
