关于客户
威尔康奈尔医学院的计算生物医学研究所 (ICB) 位于曼哈顿上东区。该研究所是表观基因组学、基因组学、蛋白质组学和个性化医疗研究领域的先驱。这些进步为重大科学发现和概念突破打开了大门。该研究所的使命是提供资源并培育协作、多学科的环境，以使这些突破成为可能。威尔康奈尔周围是东海岸一些最大的基因测序中心，与纽约基因组中心、纽约长老会医院、康奈尔大学伊萨卡高级计算中心以及卡塔尔（中东）威尔康奈尔医学院合作。这些研究人员共同从根本上塑造了个性化医疗的未来。
挑战
威尔康奈尔医学院的计算生物医学研究所 (ICB) 在扩展神经科学、表观基因组学、蛋白质组学成像设施并上线更多基因测序仪时面临挑战。他们有机添加自主存储池的传统方法已无法满足研究人员的计算需求。挑战在于从一次添加单个专用 RAID 阵列的传统方法过渡到可扩展且可满足未来数年存储需求的方法。随着数据采集率不断提高，该机构需要研究一种更强大、可扩展且可持续的存储方法。
解决方案
在评估了多种解决方案后，他们选择了运行 GRIDScaler 并行文件系统的 DDN 存储融合架构。该解决方案允许威尔康奈尔大学从两个控制器和十个部分填充的 60 槽托盘开始，然后通过按需付费计划将系统扩展到 PB 级。通过这种方法，他们能够最大限度地提高每 GB 的资金成本，同时只需添加磁盘即可逐步扩展性能和容量。DDN 方法的另一个优势是 SFA10K 双控制器可以驱动多达 20 个托盘，每个托盘有六十 (60) 个旋转或固态硬盘。这种灵活性使 ICB 能够在学院的财务限制内精确扩展存储池，以满足研究人员工作流程的严格需求。

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
