IBCP Leverages Scali Clustering Technology to Defeat Debilitating Diseases

Overview The Institut de Biologie et Chimie des Proteines (IBCP), located in Lyon France, is a research organization that focuses on understanding the sequence, structure and function of protein. Researching protein structure requires an enormous amount of data and compute power. IBCP currently has 2.6 TB data stored on its cluster. One of the Bioinformatics Group's key responsibilities is to ensure the availability of powerful computers to aid in the analysis of proteins. For its affordability and compute efficiency, IBCP turned to Linux high performance clustering technology to meet this requirement. After initial problems with alternative cluster management software, IBCP installed Scali Manage version 4 and later upgraded to version 5.
