WEHI Tackles Data Inflammation with VAST
WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research) is where the world’s brightest minds collaborate and innovate to make life-changing scientific discoveries that help people live healthier for longer. WEHI’s medical researchers have been serving the community for more than 100 years, making transformative discoveries in cancers, infectious and immune diseases, developmental disorders and healthy ageing. In 2017, WEHI worked with XENON to implement a private cloud solution for their High Performance Computing (HPC) environment. At that time, approximately 90 bioinformaticians and biologists were processing research data on the HPC cluster. The XENON private cloud implementation allowed the researchers to ‘containerise’ their workloads, making their experiments WEH
