Persistent Systems uses Dell Infrastructure Solution

Aiming to speed up performance of next-generation sequence data analysis suite, Dell  has announced that Persistent Systems is using a Dell infrastructure solution to accelerate the performance of its groundbreaking research project called SanGeniX. The Dell solution, which includes the SAP HANA platform running on Dell’s PowerEdge R910 server, has dramatically reduced research time making data analysis twenty times faster.

 S. Sridhar, Director, Enterprise Solutions Group, Dell India, stated, “We are, therefore, happy that Persistent Systems has found application in our Servers to improve the research time in the pharmaceutical vertical, which helps revolutionize genetic research in the country. Our PowerEdge R910 servers are designed to provide customers with an improved performance time. However, when applied to fields such as medical research and life sciences, it takes on an even bigger role than that of cost cutting and can sometimes be a part of the solution that leads to a groundbreaking discovery in medical science.” The project was initiated by Persistent Systems to build a comprehensive solution for Next Generation Sequence data analysis in collaboration with IISER, Pune, NBAGR, Karnal and IIT-Bombay and has been co-funded under the Biotechnology Industry Partnership Programme (BIPP), by the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), a Not-for-Profit Public Sector Undertaking set up by the Department of Biotechnology, Government of India.
