California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) Uses Kognitio WX2 for CAMERA Project
Calit2 had been developing the CAMERA repository on a Sun cluster system with a PostgreSQL database. The load time for the initial batch of genomics data was 36 hours and query times were widely variable with the most complex queries being difficult to measure.
Calit2 and Kognitio staff members discussed the potential for operational issues in the CAMERA project as the community of researchers began to contribute larger and diverse sets of data to the repository and those same and a broader set of scientists began to rely on the database as a resource in their research.
