“Processing samples often requires our laboratory teams to call up vast amounts of complex data for intense periods of focused analysis. Lenovo and VMware solutions help us to access and manage our data quickly, while also ensuring that we have sufficient capacity to support numerous sequencing workflows in parallel—including long-read sequencing, which typically generates much higher data volumes per sequence.”
