A scalable platform for large amounts of data

The IBM® DB2® UDB^TM database software and the dynamic database design are highly scalable and have capacity to handle the needs of studies with large amounts of SNP data.

When the data amounts in the study grow, it is possible to upgrade from BC/GENE to a BC/SNP, BC/SNPmax or BC/SNPmax Enterprise solutions.

Performing compute-intense analyses efficiently and cost-effectively

BC/GENE and BC/SNP Suite solutions include an advanced built-in queue system making it easy and cost-effective to build scalable calculation clusters.

Using a calculation cluster and the queue system, calculation tasks can be allocated to several servers, speeding up data analysis. When calculation needs grow, new servers can easily be integrated into the calculation cluster.
