Academic institutions, research centers, biotech, and pharma all depend on extreme compute power and speed to convert massive amounts of life sciences data into timely insights.

Using tools like HPC and AI, supercomputers are preparing organizations to pursue cutting-edge research, develop sophisticated new treatments and procedures, and make life-saving discoveries. Despite these advantages, large-scale systems can come with high costs and complexities that make it difficult to get started.

Life sciences organizations need a new type of system that brings the industry’s top supercomputing technologies to the enterprise level.

Exponential data growth in the life sciences has put pressure on organizations to transform. By 2025, the compound annual growth rate for medical data will reach 36%, causing data volumes to grow at one zettabyte per year. Scientists and clinicians are working to make full use of this valuable information for saving and improving lives. However, those that operate on legacy technologies find it almost impossible to run massive data workloads, which slows down time to discovery and can lead to inaccurate results.

These challenges represent a tremendous need for supercomputing. The unmatched agility, resiliency, and flexibility delivered by today’s supercomputers can now be achieved on a smaller scale, making it easier for life sciences organizations to keep pace with data demands at a lower cost. These capabilities are driving improvements in a number of disciplines including bio-chemistry, genomics, molecular biology, and pharmacology.

Ongoing technology innovation is redefining what we think about supercomputing. With the right technologies deployed at the right scale, life sciences organizations will have the resources they need to analyze vast datasets, run large numbers of calculations in seconds, and solve highly complex scientific problems.

Compute for a new era of life sciences

HPE is empowering life sciences organizations to solve their greatest challenges with an extensive portfolio of supercomputing technologies, tools, and support services. Our solutions can be right-sized for a broad range of applications, regardless of the size, scope, requirements, or budget. Now, HPE is excited to deliver a new class of systems that will propel life sciences to the cutting-edge of compute.

HPE Cray EX supercomputers are used to power some of biggest research centers in the world. These machines deliver exceptional compute performance to run data-intensive workflows and allow organizations to quickly scale up and scale out as demands change. Now, the new HPE Cray EX2500 can fulfill a host of new requirements for both research and clinical environments. By utilizing the same supercomputing technologies on a smaller scale, scientists and clinicians have the ability to speed up time to discovery like never before.

The HPE Cray EX2500 is built on HPE Cray EX server blades. This right-sized system is raising the bar for workload performance, enabling life sciences organizations to run the most demanding HPC and AI workloads. The blade-based infrastructure uses a heterogenous mix of processing technologies to power our supercomputing systems. Life sciences organizations can choose from the industry’s highest-performing CPUs and accelerators, including the first processors to deliver over 10 teraflops of performance for time-sensitive life sciences applications.

The robust HPE Cray EX2500 architecture includes HPE Slingshot high-speed interconnect and HPE purpose-built integrated HPC storage that are well-suited for the unique demands of supercomputing. These solutions deliver the performance, scalability, connectivity, and TCO advantages that life sciences organizations need to handle computational and data management workloads. When combined, supercomputing technologies from HPE provide greater control and faster insights across discovery, preclinical research, clinical research, and solution implementation.

At HPE, our goal is to make supercomputing accessible to everyone. That’s why we give life sciences organizations the tools they need to plan for success. Our comprehensive software suite is a key enabler for unlocking the full power of supercomputing, decreasing IT complexity so that scientists and clinicians can get results faster.

Using the HPE Cray Programming Environment, organizations can deploy their system over bare metal in minutes, rather than hours or days. For additional support, HPE Pointnext Services experts work with decisionmakers to underpin their initiatives. With a clear road map, HPE GreenLake makes it easy to deploy and manage supercomputing technologies for life sciences operations. Organizations pay only for the resources they use, and the entire system can be managed for you by HPE GreenLake.

New systems from HPE are pioneering a new era of discovery in the life sciences. High-performance and cost-effective solutions will enable organizations to work faster, smarter, and more collaboratively from anywhere in the world.
