Data generation in the life sciences continues at a rapid pace. There are always risks of data loss, including hardware failures, inability of staff to access data centers, and user error. During challenging times like these, understanding and protecting your data can save lives. Join us to see how you can protect and visualize your files at the scale of Life Sciences, with integrated search, restore, and visibility.

5. 5
Maximizing the Value of your Data
Can’t protect dataCan’t find my data
Data protection becomes
difficult above 500TB,
especially to the cloud
Backup requires using vendor
specific replication,breaking at
scale
Multiple instrument and storage
silos, requires datacenter space
End users spend 20%+ of their
time looking for data
Simple search does not exist for
research file data
Cannot index data at petabyte
scale fast enough to keep index
relevant
Lost Time
Decreased productivity
Data remains undiscovered
Vendor lock-in
Decreased Productivity
Increased Risk
These challenges exist now, and only get worse as research scales
Can’t move data
Legacy tools are vendor specific or
one-and-done, constrained to NAS
and expensive
Open-source is manual and labor
intensive, slowing collaboration
New workflows require data
next to compute. Compute is
more distributed than ever
Increased costs
Slowing collaboration
Increased Risk
