Silicon Mechanics provided multiple options on how to achieve our requirements. ” Alexander Statnikov Ph.D. Adjunct Associate Professor, CHIBI Challenge The NYU Center for Health Informatics and Bioinformatics’ (CHIBI) HPC (high-performance cluster) was destroyed by flooding during Hurricane Sandy. Fortunately, the laboratory’s director was able to unrack the data storage hard drives and rescue them from the advancing flood waters. CHIBI needed to replace its computing capability quickly to respond to data requests from the many different researchers working on projects that rely on high-performance com
