CeGaT is a leading global provider of genetic diagnostics and next-generation sequencing (NGS) services. The nature of CeGaT's research processes require the company to collect, analyze, and interpret terabytes of data daily quickly and accurately. CeGaT's previous hybrid flash + HDD storage system couldn’t keep up with growing demands for speed, volume and scalability, compelling the company to find data infrastructure that could support its ambitious growth strategy. CeGaT selected VAST Universal Storage to take a revolutionary leap in system scale, performance and resiliency.

Overview
Our storage capabilities are the backbone of our mission to help identify the genetic causes and best treatment options for rare diseases. Without an adaptive, scalable infrastructure that can grow with our needs, we simply cannot process these diagnoses in time. Compared to our previous solution and the many storage technologies out there, VAST’s all-flash storage delivered all of the above and allowed us to reduce the time taken to process sample data from 24-48 hours to just two hours. Every second counts for patients waiting for a diagnosis, and the implications of VAST’s technology and the speed at which we can now process diagnosis is quite literally life-saving.
