C A S E S T U D Y Van Andel Institute (VAI) is an independent biomedical research and science education organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. VAI hosts thirty individual research groups who use genomic sequencing analysis, molecular dynamics simulation, and modeling to investigate epigenetics, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, VAI deployed a unique new hybrid infrastructure featuring Bright OpenStack systems management software. The Bright OpenStack deployment wrapper lets VAI manage both high-performance compute (HPC) grid and cluster computing and cloud computing within the same infrastructure, greatly reducing the labor and effort needed for management and change control. Perhaps more importantly, it also helps VAI respond dynamically to the accelerati
