HPE GreenLake brings cloud speed, agility and scalability to
Macrogen’s infrastructure in a secure on-premises environment to
meet increasingly challenging demands of latest genomic analysis
systems
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today announced that Macrogen,
a leading precision medicine and biotechnology company, has
selected HPE GreenLake to modernize its IT operations, respond to
fluctuating demands and deliver the speed, agility and scalability
needed to process large-scale medical data analysis
on-premises.
Macrogen has more than 18,000 customers in 153 countries and has
the fifth-largest genetic analysis capability in the world. The
company’s long-term mission is to build big data that improve
prediction and prevention of human diseases and provide precision
medicine. Genomic analysis and DNA sequencing are used in research
and clinical trials where data cannot be stored in external
facilities such as public clouds, due to privacy and security
concerns.
Macrogen’s data analysis takes place primarily in the three
months before and three months after the end of the year, resulting
in a significant imbalance in capacity demand throughout the year.
During these peak periods, the system runs for 24 hours a day
generating vast amounts of data which need to be stored and
analyzed every day. The biotech company consequently needed to
develop cost-efficient, state-of-art genomic analysis systems to
handle big data, while ensuring compliance with security policies
to keep all sensitive medical data on-premises.
Macrogen turned to HPE to tackle this challenge by optimizing
its storage capacity and maximizing the use of system resources
during busier periods of time, while minimizing the cost from
overprovisioning at the times of low utilization. With HPE
GreenLake, Macrogen is able to meet the increased demands for
storage and compute capacity at specific points of the year, ensure
cost efficiency with pay-per-use billing and allow flexibility and
scalability throughout the year to respond to fluctuating
demands.
“Because large-scale medical research data is classified, secure
information, we need to keep it in an on-premises environment
instead of a public cloud," said Shin Sun-ho, head of Macrogen's
IT division. “Pay-per-use billing, rapid scalability, automatic
response to failures, and transparent resource management are the
main reasons we chose HPE GreenLake. By creating a cloud-like
environment with HPE, we have created an optimal environment where
we can enjoy both the advantages of a public cloud and the benefits
of an on-premise environment.”
Macrogen is also using HPE GreenLake Central, an advanced
software platform that allows customers to run, manage and optimize
their entire hybrid IT estate. The solution provides its IT team
with a unified dashboard and operational console to deliver
visibility, predictability, and centralized management of its
operations and spend level. Macrogen can now keep track of and take
action on a range of KPIs, including security, capacity, cost,
compliance, and resource utilization, as well as monitor and
minimize costs by eliminating large one-off financial
investments.
"Servers are allocated to each division inside Macrogen and we
can check and compare the usage status and costs of each division
at a glance through HPE GreenLake Central," added Shin
Sun-ho. "We can also generate and print reports in the way we
want and can deliver the report files to certain recipients on a
designated date, making internal reporting much easier."
HPE Pointnext Technology Services also provide HPE Datacenter
Care maintenance services, which enable Macrogen to monitor and
support failures through a real time failure detection system and
significantly reduce the workload of the IT team.
“Macrogen needed to respond to sudden increases in demand and
wanted the cloud experience combined with the visibility,
compliance, and security that comes with preserving their
applications and data on-premises and at the edge,” said
Young-Chae Kim, vice president and managing director, HPE
Korea. “With the new technology infrastructure, delivered via
HPE GreenLake, Macrogen has increased its operational efficiency
and enhanced its capabilities to perform important large-scale
medical data analysis more quickly and at lower cost.”
HPE GreenLake Cloud Services provide customers with a powerful
foundation to drive digital transformation through an elastic as a
service platform that can run on-premises, at the edge, or in a
colocation facility. HPE GreenLake combines the simplicity and
agility of the cloud with the governance, compliance, and
visibility that comes with hybrid IT. HPE GreenLake offers a range
of cloud services that accelerate innovation, including cloud
services for compute, container management, data protection, HPC,
machine learning operations, networking, SAP HANA, and storage,
VDI, and VMs. The HPE GreenLake Cloud Services business is rapidly
growing with over $4 billion USD in total contract value, over 700
partners selling HPE GreenLake, and more than 1000 customers in all
industry sectors and sizes including Fortune 500 companies. For
