CloudX solution offers healthcare organisations the most efficient cloud infrastructure for cancer and genomics research and improved patient care.

"Mellanox’s CloudX and InfiniBand technology will facilitate collaboration between researchers and clinicians by enabling research to be shared."

The centre’s cancer and genomics programme adopted the FDR 56Gb/s InfiniBand networking solution to accelerate the sharing, processing and analysis of data generated from radiology imaging, medical imaging analysis, protein folding, x-ray diffraction to improve patient care and expedite cancer research.

HPC4Health assistant director Jorge Gonzalez-Outeirino said: "The amount of data created by today’s biomedical research environments requires computing architectures that are extremely fast, flexible and scalable.

"Mellanox’s CloudX and InfiniBand technology will facilitate collaboration between researchers and clinicians by enabling research to be shared. Our goal is to accelerate diagnoses and provide more personalised healthcare services for our patients."
