Outsourcing this level of support and technology reduces organizational strain enabling IT to focus on improving business integration and innovation. This is not just an infrastructure monitoring problem, so picking a company who understands service management and service warranty is a must. 2) While grouping services, it is imperative that organizations look at their services and determine - what are those t...

National Center for Genome Resources Chooses Kognitio WX2
Researchers expect data requirements to explode 10x or more in next year; say WX2 is uniquely qualified to handle growing demand

Kognitio has announced that the National Center for Genome Resources (NCGR) has deployed Kognitio's WX2 purpose-built database to handle the analytical processing of multiple terabytes of research data in order to improve human health and crop improvement through genome sequencing and analysis.

NCGR researchers who chose WX2 said they were impressed by Kognitio's recognition of and focus on the growing importance of bioinformatics, and the company's desire to play a leading role in enabling the next generation of genomic investigation.

The NCGR team has already discovered the advantages that WX2 offers; researchers say they are able to quickly load subject databases within minutes, as opposed to hours. Queries performed against the WX2 database return in one-eighth of the time when compared to other platforms.

"Technology has progressed to the point where the research that went into the initial Human Genome Project, which took hundreds of millions of dollars and several years to complete, can now be replicated within several months. Faster, more powerful tools like Kognitio's WX2 are at the core of that increase in power and reduction in time to results and overall cost," explained Neil Miller, Principal Software Engineer at NCGR

Now in its sixth generation, Kognitio WX2 is a mature analytical database, capable of helping mid-sized and larger enterprises alike gain analytical access to, and insight from, massive amounts of data, thus allowing them to remain ahead of their competitors. More than 20 years of development enables Kognitio WX2 users to gain greater benefits in less time; by enabling users to query, in detail, vast amounts of granular data in just seconds, tests have shown WX2 consistently obtains results several times faster than competing data warehouse appliances and 10-60 times faster than typical software-only databases.

More information about the Kognitio WX2 purpose-built analytical database is available from the company's website.
