Timothy Kunau, University of Minnesota
Track: System Administration and Infrastructure
Date: Tuesday, February 04
Time: 1:30pm - 2:15pm
Location: California Ballroom A & B
Drawing on his years of consulting, Kunau’s presentation describes design, deployment, and support considerations for assembling computing infrastructure for life sciences research. Pipelining and support tools, protocols and services, and storage requirements with regard to protein sequence and microarray data processing, databases, and archiving are all considered.
Real boundaries exist between available tools-sets. When can we use open source
technologies and when are proprietary tools more appropriate? We offer rules and metrics to answer these questions for your research group.
Case studies from the Center for Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, and the University of Basel, Switzerland are offered to illustrate requirements and deployment considerations.
