Accelerating Discovery: TGen Research Supercharged with Versity Archival Solution

TGen stands at the forefront of life sciences, spearheading advancements with its transformative research on rare childhood diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and aggressive cancers. Powering its groundbreaking discoveries is an extensive reservoir of genomic and proteomic data. This invaluable data archive serves as a vital resource. It is akin to lifeblood, enabling TGen to constantly push the boundaries and develop life-saving breakthroughs. However, managing this vast collection of critical data presented TGen with a substantial set of challenges.

TGen was at a crossroads with its data management system, which was increasingly stifling their innovative pursuits. Their existing archiving system, which had once been at the pinnacle of technological advancement, was now lagging, with evident signs of obsolescence. To further exacerbate the problem, TGen’s storage infrastructure couldn’t keep up with the demands of modern research. They struggled to access or store data efficiently using modern equipment. TGen faced a crucial decision: to transition to a cloud-based solution or revamp their on-premises infrastructure. Although the appeal of enhanced efficiency with a new cloud-based system was strong, that solution’s unpredictable costs posed a threat to TGen’s financial stability as their research efforts expanded. TGen needed a cost-effective data management solution that replicated the scalability and efficiency of cloud-based systems.

The solution to TGen’s data management challenges came through Versity’s ScoutAM, a powerful and scalable archival system specifically designed to meet the needs of fast-growing research environments. TGen, a leader in genomic research, required a system that not only provided long-term data storage but also offered rapid access to its vast and complex datasets. ScoutAM’s high-performance architecture allowed TGen to efficiently manage its growing archive of genomic and proteomic data, ensuring they could retrieve and process information quickly without compromising on research speed or quality.

ScoutAM’s seamless integration into TGen’s existing workflows and compatibility with legacy systems ensured that TGen could maintain the integrity of its historical data, allowing for longitudinal studies and comparative analyses. Additionally, the financial predictability provided by Versity’s unlimited capacity-pricing model enabled TGen to plan for future growth without the unpredictable costs associated with cloud storage solutions.

Through strategic partnerships with Dell Technologies and Spectra, Versity delivered a turnkey solution combining industry-leading hardware and software, which optimized TGen’s data management from procurement to deployment. This comprehensive system upgrade not only addressed TGen’s immediate storage needs but also ensured the scalability required for their future research ambitions.
