Centralized storage caching solutions from Gear6 accelerate storage for real time application performance. Scalable caching appliances complement your existing infrastructure and deliver unmatched throughput and near real time access to data. Gear6 solutions remove the bottleneck created by the server-storage performance gap and address one of the most pressing challenges facing IT managers in nearly every industry and enterprise data center. Some specific examples of how we address these challenges are detailed below.
In the quest for finer-grained understanding of DNA and other biological sequence information, bioinformatics and computational biology push existing information technology to its limits. While there are many software tools for DNA analysis, BLAST or Basic Local Alignment Search Tool is one of the most common. Blast was created and is maintained by the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). As a distributed application, BLAST runs across hundreds or thousands of simultaneous CPUs. At the same time, its comparative algorithms demand significant amounts of small, random I/O operations that can challenge conventional storage systems. This pattern also occurs across many other bioinformatics applications. Learn more.
