Researchers have no time to lose in their quest to divine the future of the Earth’s climate and its effects on humanity. When a problem arises, one of the world’s top centers for climate research relies on Allinea DDT.
Get Your Free Copy of NAS Optimization for Dummies sponsored by Avere Systems
Source: Avere Systems
Release Date:February 11, 2013
Today, more and more organizations need to deal with massive quantities of data. Accessing that data without frustrating and costly delays—latency—becomes harder as the amount of data stored grows larger. This book explores what you can do to eliminate latency and maintain high-speed operation, even as the amount of data you store multiplies.
Learn to:
- Scale NAS Performance separate from storage capacity
- Eliminate the three major sources of storage latency
- Gain the advantages of storage in the clou
IDC Predictions 2013: Competing on the 3rd Platform
Source: IDC
Release Date:February 11, 2013
The most important events in 2013 will cluster — as they did in 2012 — around what IDC calls the "3rd Platform" for IT growth and innovation, built on mobile devices, cloud services, social technologies, and Big Data. We'll see much greater urgency in 2013, and much bigger moves, as the market shifts beyond the "exploration" stage to full-blown high-stakes competition. The ability (or inability) to compete on the 3rd Platform will reset leadership ranks in the IT market and every industry that uses IT.
Case Study: Allinea Software Helps Launch Discoveries On World-Class Supercomputer

Accelerating and Simplifying Apache™ Hadoop® with Panasas® ActiveStor™
Source: Panasas
Release Date:November 19, 2012
Hadoop is an essential platform to support big data analytics applications. It was designed to be highly scalable, utilizing commodity hardware and parallel processing to achieve performance and data protection. Many of the design aspects of the Hadoop File System (HDFS) are fundamentally very similar to Panasas® PanFS™. This means companies that have already invested in compute clusters for other big data workloads can now run Hadoop on existing compute infrastructure in conjunction with Panasas ActiveStor.
High Performance and High Throughput, Scalable Cluster Solutions for Next Generation Sequencing
Source: RAID
Release Date:November 12, 2012
High-throughput genome sequencing, or next-generation genome sequencing (NGS), is being driven by the high demand for low-cost sequencing. NGS parallelizes the sequencing process, producing thousands or millions of sequences at once.
