Published: Dec. 1, 2018, midnight

b'Genomic sequencing is growing at a rate of 100 million sequences a year, translating into 40 exabytes by the year 2025. Handling this level of growth and performing big data analytics is a massive challenge in scalability, flexibility, and speed. In this session, learn from pioneering genomic sequencing company WuXi NextCODE, which handles complex and performance-heavy database and genomic sequencing workloads, about moving from on premises to all-in on the public cloud. Discover how WuXi NextCODE was able to achieve the performance that its workloads demand and surpass the limits of what it was able to achieve previously in genomic sequencing. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, NetApp, Inc.'
