		High Performance Computing - Case Study		J. B. Speed School of Engineering at the University of Louisville needed a visualization wall to display gene, protein and metabolite sequences and a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster to investigate energy usage in building interiors.
		J. Craig Venter Institute - Case Study		J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) needed powerful x86-based servers in a small form factor to construct a high-performance computing (HPC) grid for genomic analysis. The institute also wanted to reduce its cost per gigabyte for archive storage without sacrificing reliability or performance.
		UCSF Institute - Case Study		The Institute for Human Genetics (IHG) at the University of California, San Francisco, is working with Kaiser Permanente on a massive genotyping project. Ultimately the genes of 700,000 people will be analyzed across 700,000 characteristics to measure the genetic variation within those characteristics.

		Life Sciences Leading Indicators 2010 Post to Life		Health Industry Insights Leading Indicators in Life Science IT Spending Survey is a bi-annual research effort that probes end user opinions throughout the life science value chain on planned IT spending, technology adoption attitudes, perspectives on leading vendors, and other IT-related topics. Data is gathered via a Web-based survey. Health Industry Insights '3Q10 Leading Indicators in Life Science IT Spending Survey yielded 135participants, 70% of whom are manager level or above within their respective organizations.
		Streamline the Pipeline with Dell Life Sciences		At Dell, serving the healthcare industry has given us a strong appreciation for the process that results in life-saving innovations.
