9 9 Lenovo in Action solutions from Lenovo power the most forward-looking workloads, while lowering TCO and improving performance. University of Birmingham Biogemma Caris Life Sciences Established: 1900 Founded: 1997 Mission: Enabling Precision Medicine Student Body: 33,830 Research: Maize, Wheat, Canola, Sunflower Clinical Cases: 120,000+ Nobel Prize Winning Alumni: 10 Employees: 80 Headquarters: Irving, Texas The University of Birmingham is the UK s fourth-largest university. It s data centre has limited air cooling capacity. Lenovo; the university s Research Computing Team; and its business partner, OCF; co-developed a cooling technology that s expected to cut coolingenergy costs by up to 83 percent and permit substantially denser server configurations. Biotech firm Biogemma needed to ramp up its computational power to enable faster analysis of larger and more complex genomic data sets. By deploying an cluster based on Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5, and a large-memory system based on a Lenovo System x3850 X6 server, the firm significantly increased performance cutting run times from hours to minutes. As it transforms personalized cancer treatment, Caris Life Sciences needed to more efficiently process, analyze, manage and store terabytes of laboratory-generated data. It deployed an solution with NeXtScale System servers. The solution speeds diagnostic options and improves its ability to make sense of vast, complex and everchanging volumes of molecular data.
