WuXi NextCODE through NetApp Cloud Volumes proposes solutions for genomic health

On November 8, 2018 the Netapp company announced the conclusion of partnership with WuXi NextCODE, the world platform of genomic data. WuXi NextCODE is going to use NetApp Cloud Volumes for simplification of deployment and optimization of operation of applications on the basis of data. WuXi NextCODE works in the integrated multicloud environment of storage of genomic data and makes their secondary processing and also provides applications for the clients. The solution Netapp Cloud Volumes is developed so that to process 10 times more data at the same time and to analyze large volumes of data in real time.

WuXi NextCODE offers the platform developed especially for the organization, receiving, separation and application of genomic data with the purpose of improvement of human health. The tool kit of the company for use of artificial intelligence technologies provides effective analytics of massive volumes of genomic and clinical data, supporting clinical and scientific analytical processes.

WuXi NextCODE should be in time behind the growing quantity of genomes which it sequences and stores for the customers daily. NetApp Cloud Volumes is integrated with products of most the main cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. This multicloud strategy ensures for WuXi NextCODE functioning of architecture of data which is necessary for high-performance analytics, scalability and flexibility and also for faster and reliable integration into the systems of customers.

Scalable and simple DWH in installation is a basis of the platform, similar ours which processes millions of genomes, at the same time providing a network effect and providing the knowledge base which constantly attracts increasing number of users and data. Hakon Gudbjartsson, Chief information officer of WuXi NextCODE

Users of Netapp Cloud Volumes, such as, for example, WuXi NextCODE, can easily set and configure scalable infrastructure of DWH in a cloud, similar to hyper convergent. Moreover, advanced functionality of management of data storage, such as mirroring in real time by means of software for replication of data of Netapp SnapMirror, substantially simplifies deployment and testing that as a result provides to the platform the increased stability and reliability: it is important for scientific work of customers of WuXi NextCODE in the industry of pharmaceutics, biotechnology and clinical environments.

Cloud services not just assist in business development, they influence all society in general. Our cooperation with WuXi NextCODE are a bright example of how we help the large companies to build the business and to develop it in a multicloud environment. NetApp Cloud Volumes cooperates with public clouds, giving an opportunity to use services for public clouds, to react quicker to market changes and to the growing requirements of customers. Anthony Lye, the senior vice president and the CEO on cloud date services of Netapp

Further NetApp and WuXi NextCODE will continue to cooperate on separate tools, opportunities and API for processing of the growing amounts of data which arrive from global genomic sources.
