Red Hat Ceph Storage chosen to achieve
large-scale bioinformatics data needs of United Kingdom-based
university consortium based on ability to provide necessary object
storage capacity
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that the Cloud Infrastructure for
Microbial Bioinformatics (CLIMB) has selected and implemented Red
Hat Ceph Storage for their large-scale extensive research needs.
Red Hat Ceph Storage offers a block and object storage platform
capable of scaling to meet the demands of researchers who are
sequencing large amounts of data and seeking to collaborate more
efficiently.
A collaborative medical research project involving University of
Warwick, Swansea University, Cardiff University, and the University
of Birmingham, CLIMB aims to provide free cloud-based compute,
storage, and analysis tools for academic microbiologists in the
U.K. CLIMB features a large and geographically dispersed community
of researchers contributing to the initiative. That community
needed a shared IT infrastructure to facilitate collaboration,
support new medical breakthroughs, and better manage data. The
solution had to be easy to use, able to absorb hundreds of
terabytes of data, and scalable on demand to petabytes.
Red Hat Ceph Storage provides CLIMB with object storage that is
capable of meeting the large-scale storage requirements needed to
help support medical breakthroughs. Designed for the cloud, Red Hat
Ceph Storage can lower the cost of storing enterprise data and
helps CLIMB manage data growth—efficiently and automatically.
Capitalizing on Red Hat Ceph Storage’s demonstrated ability to
handle web scale object storage, CLIMB can now scale to 1.5PB of
raw object storage per site.

co-investigator, CLIMB
“Red Hat Ceph Storage provides us with a high-performing system
that can scale to meet the significant storage needs required for
genomic sequencing. With researchers in both the office and the
field we needed a system that was compatible with our cloud
platform, and we’ve received that with Red Hat Ceph Storage. The
system has been well received by our researchers, allowing them to
scale up resources as required.”
Ranga Rangachari, vice president and general manager, Storage,

“The researchers at CLIMB are working on some of our toughest
medical issues, and we applaud their efforts. Their work requires a
storage solution that can handle the scale of their endeavor and
enable them to focus on what is important to them. We are proud to
be supporting the CLIMB research project with storage technology
that can help to advance the project's objectives. This exemplifies
how Red Hat's solutions can be used to help solve specific
scientific challenges, and how open source software can help
researchers work together to achieve their goals.”
