AVAKI DATA GRID TO SUPPORT
BIOFORMATICS RESEARCH
The global pharmaceutical company, Aventis, has decided to choose Avaki
Corporation for their Avaki Data Grid software. This software will provide
automated, secure, wide-area access to bioinformatics research data across
multiple North American research sites.
Avaki software will enable users to share important research data without
the
need to manually compress and copy data files by making data available to
multiple sites and administrative domains from its source location. This
approach can help to eliminate data inconsistency and synchronization
challenges associated with multiple copies, and to prevent unnecessary
consumption of disk space and productivity delays.
Using the Avaki Data Grid, data can be shared securely and seamlessly among
geographically dispersed users and applications, with automated access to
wide-area data that appears local to those who have been granted access to
it.
The Grid software ensures the consistency of data across the organization,
ensures access to the most current data available, and provides a uniform
environment that is easy for researchers to use and for IT professionals to
administer.
Tim Yeaton, President of Avaki said, "Life sciences organizations demand
the
ability to quickly and easily access huge amounts of data, regardless of where
it resides, and securely share it in a timely and consistent fashion across
their R&D teams." Yeaton went on to say, "The Avaki Data Grid solution has
been particularly appealing to life sciences organizations because of its
unique ability to address the data-intensive work that drives the business
processes of these organizations. We are extremely pleased to make this
solution available to Aventis."
