11 Case Study #2: Alberta Children s Hospital Research Inst. Mission: Provide Precision Medicine for a variety of childhood diseases, including Care for Rare consortium. Make available a robust platform for new discovery and model organisms. Requirements: A cost-effective, scalable platform for supporting the breaking down of silos IBM provided: Spectrum Scale for performance, data management, and resiliency with an archive Compute enhancements to support projects with the ability to aggregate data into a data model for advanced analytics A Global namespace that provided the ability to break down silos and share amongst many research groups A robust scheduler that supports both existing as well as additional compute paradigms An overall architecture with the ability to add incrementally. Big Data Symposium March 24,

12 Case Study #3: Mount Sinai School of Medicine Mission: To achieve the most effective solution for genomic workloads without rearchitecting the industry-standard software, we performed a rigorous analysis of usage statistics, benchmarks and available technologies to design a system for maximum throughput. IBM provided: Spectrum Scale for performance, data management, and resiliency. IBM Flash tier supported by Spectrum Scale for optimization of workflow performance with this tier of SCRATCH to support small file sizes A robust scheduler that could handle 700,000 jobs in the queue Data management to move data from the Flash tier to disk as soon as the workflow completes A Global namespace to provide support for a large and growing faculty/staff user base An overall architecture with the ability to add incrementally. Big Data Symposium March 24,

13 Lessons Learned: Customer Success is derived from: Managing explosive growth. Managing application performance especially with clinical diagnostics and patients for whom the standard of care has failed A robust Data management/metadata search system that allows scientists to retrieve past data is a must as they will ultimately update their research with new algorithms or the data required for reproducible results. A Global namespace that breaks down silos, and provides a single copy of the data. A robust scheduler that supports both existing as well as additional compute paradigms is essential to enable sharing of a single IT environment with a myriad of applications APPLICATIONS, they come and go, but ARCHITECTURE ENDURES Big Data Symposium March 24,
