The following organizations are benefiting from using StorHouse for Life Sciences to actively archive critical medical research data, thereby helping scientists around the globe help manage, control, and prevent disease.
| Organization | Description |
 |
Carnegie Institution Founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1902, the Carnegie Institution is an independent, nonprofit organization for scientific discovery. Carnegie scientists conduct in-depth research in plant biology, developmental biology (including gene functions), Earth and planetary sciences, astronomy, and global ecology. For example, researchers address fundamental questions in genetics at the cellular and molecular levels, including genetic programming behind cellular processes and genes that control growth and obesity. Carnegie uses StorHouse to actively archive experimental embryo and DNA data availability and accessibility for the long-term. |

Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation Founded in 1999, the Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF) is part of the Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research (NIBR). It is also affiliated with the Novartis Institute for Developing World Medical Research (NIDWMR). GNF employs over 560 people who work to discover new medicines that address unresolved medical need. Its researchers apply integrated state-of-the-art technologies in biology, chemistry, automation, and information sciences to identify new biological processes and develop new therapies. GNF uses StorHouse to actively archive critical research data, thereby dramatically increasing accessibility and availability while lowering the cost of storage and administrative overhead. |

Gladstone Institutes The Gladstone Institutes consist of three independent, not-for-profit biomedical research institutes devoted to studying cardiovascular disease, HIV/AIDS, and Alzheimer's disease/neurological disorders. Each institute is organized around research units consisting of scientists, research associates, postdoctoral researchers, and students. This methodology accommodates small groups of scientists who work collaborate with other groups to create a stimulating environment for research and development. The Institutes are officially affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where many Gladstone investigators hold university appointments and teach/train graduate students. Gladstone uses StorHouse to actively archive and retrieve a variety of experimental research data at an affordable cost per terabyte and with low administration overhead due to StorHouse automated storage and data management features. |

National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) The National Center for Biotechnology Information is a division of the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the largest biomedical research facility in the world. The NCBI mission is to combat health problems and disease by developing new information technologies and infrastructures that help researchers study fundamental, molecular-level biomedical problems such as gene organization, sequence analysis, and structure prediction. NCBI responsibilities encompass:
NCBI deployed what is considered to be the most exciting application in the bioinformatics world – the SRA application for next-generation sequencing data. NCBI installed and deployed StorHouse to permanently actively archive the SRA data and keep it available and accessible to scientists around the world for research and analysis. StorHouse has the unique feature set to accommodate and manage the anticipated SRA archive size of 30 petabytes. |

Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute The Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute searches for the underlying biological processes that generate good health or cause disease. The Company employs nearly 900 scientists working to discover the next generation of treatments for cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious and inflammatory diseases, diabetes, childhood diseases and many other conditions. The company has locations in La Jolla, CA, Orlando, FL, and Santa Barbara, CA. Sanford Burnham is ranked among the top four institutions nationally for NIH grant funding and among the top 25 organizations worldwide for its research impact. The Institute is also well-known for its world-class capabilities in stem cell research and drug discovery technologies. Sanford Burnham uses StorHouse to archive and retrieve genomics sequencing data with virtually unlimited scalability, storage virtualization, and centralized system administration. In addition, StorHouse is replicating sequencing data from the primary Sanford Burnham location in La Jolla, CA to the Sanford Burnham co-location facility in Orlando, FL. |

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) UNC is a full-service research university located in Chapel Hill, NC. The university, which opened its doors to students in 1795, is one of several schools claiming to be the oldest public university in the United States. UNC houses one of the premier genomics programs in the United States. This program is integrated with the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences (CCGS), a campus-wide umbrella organization founded to coordinate and stimulate growth in basic and applied genomics research. UNC uses StorHouse to actively archive genomics sequencing data for subsequent research and analysis. Benefits include sustained performance, virtually unlimited scalability, storage virtualization, proactive monitoring, and centralized system administration. |
