Chapter 01 · Background

The organisation and the challenge.

The Italian National Institute of Molecular Genetics (INGM) is an advanced research center that develops a well-defined niche of activities in the field of human "omics" research. As a molecular-genetics institute, it generates and must operate on hundreds of terabytes of highly sensitive research data.

INGM needed an IT solution able to store that volume of data without compromising performance, and to guarantee robust protection of its research information. The institute was looking for a single platform that could scale with its workloads rather than a sprawl of disconnected systems.

The Syneto solution.

INGM chose a Syneto solution because it can scale hundreds of terabytes of data within a single node, and is powerful enough to gather, support and protect all of the institute's sensitive research data on one all-in-one platform.

Research workloads feed a single Syneto node that collects, stores and protects all data — consolidating hundreds of terabytes with fast automatic backups.
Scalability

An all-in-one IT solution that collects, stores and protects the data — scaling hundreds of terabytes within a single node.

Data protection

Fast, automatic backups of all the data on the infrastructure, keeping the institute's sensitive research information safe.

Consolidated platform

One powerful system gathers, supports and protects all sensitive data, replacing fragmented storage with a single managed platform.

Price and performance

A reasonable price for all the included features was a decisive factor — strong value alongside the capacity and protection delivered.
