Business Challenges
Great challenge to Computing Capabilities
With the rapid development of genomic sequencing technology, data volumes for genomic sequencing have surged. As a result, the computing capacity cannot meet the requirements of the increasing data.
Low Data Analysis and Interpretation Efficiency
Sequencing a person's genome generates at least 1.5 TB data each time, which takes traditional IT devices at least six days to analyze and interpret.
High IT Investment Costs
The construction, deployment, O&M, and capacity expansion of IT clusters is complex. Increasing requirements for computing server performance results in higher IT infrastructure costs.
Difficult Data Sharing and Storage
The transmission, sharing, storage, and I/O performance for this massive amount of data needs to be improved.
Solution Architecture
Biomedicine
Biomedicine relies heavily on high-performance computing for molecular modeling, data management, medicine molecular design, and next-generation gene sequencing. Huawei HPC Cloud provides biopharmaceutical companies with industry-leading computing and storage services.
- Scalable and High-Performance Computing ECS
Provides various types of Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) instances and dozens of configurations including the fat nodes based on Bare Metal Server (BMS) instances to meet different HPC application requirements for computing and memory capacity. ECS types include H1 (high computing I, which uses a 10GE network), H2 (ultra-high computing II, which uses a 100 Gbit/s InfiniBand network), P1 (Artificial Intelligence), and M1 (memory optimization type).
- Distributed and Scalable Block Storage Service
Allows Elastic Volume Service (EVS) to be attached to each ECS on demand and offers storage space for HPC computing and storage nodes. Each disk provides up to 32 TB of capacity, 20,000 IOPS, and 350 MB/s throughput.
- Excellent VPC Network
Builds a secure, isolated virtual network environment on HUAWEI CLOUD for HPC users. HPC computing networks connect to each other with 10GE Ethernet or Direct Connect, providing the high bandwidth for the users on your network.
- Massive OBS
Provides a huge amount of storage space for HPC applications to storage HPC instance data and result data. You can flexibly upload and download HPC data.
