To meet a wide range of business requirements, many companies build a complex multi-cloud environment. Managing multiple clouds used to be difficult. In 2017, is that still the case?
It shouldn’t be. IBM offers a complete cloud management platform that simplifies management of multi-cloud environments. Developers can use the platform to build and run applications on variety of clouds. IT can use the platform to help manage, deliver and govern services across the entire company.
With IBM Cloud Orchestrator, you can better manage your cloud applications and services from a single pane of glass. By leveraging hybrid cloud environments, you can reduce costs, get more value from existing investments and speed time-to-market.
IBM Cloud Orchestrator at InterConnect
This year, IBM InterConnect will offer a broad range of topics for IT operations executives and developers who want better control over their complex multi-cloud environments. You can discover the latest hybrid cloud management solutions. And you can learn from industry experts and peers on how to accelerate, optimize and scale across hybrid cloud environments.
The roster of speakers features real clients addressing real challenges across many different industries. Session leaders and panel groups will discuss the implications of multispeed IT and dealing with legacy, cloud-enabled and cloud-ready workloads. You can join a discussion about how open standards can facilitate optimal workload deployments to private and public clouds.
Automation is at the heart of managing hybrid cloud environments. We will discuss how IBM Cloud Orchestrator allows you to automate and standardize many manual IT processes. You can provide self-service opportunities to clients, as well as speed and consistency in service delivery.

The big bottleneck for research centers and clinical labs doing genomic analysis no longer comes from the sequencing itself, but the data analysis.
That’s why labs turn to Bluebee’s cloud-based genomics solution that flexibly and accurately supports scientific projects and patient diagnoses.
Customers can analyze sequenced DNA or RNA data coming from any type of sequencer on Bluebee’s secure, scalable high-performance computing environment. With Bluebee’s accelerated process, next-generation sequencing (NGS) pipelines run orders of magnitude faster than onsite infrastructure without compromising algorithms and methods. This means data can be interpreted faster so patients can be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
For example, a Bluebee’s client’s cancer diagnostics capabilities are seven times faster than its former process.
Diagnostic test providers and sequencing service providers also count on Bluebee’s cloud-based genomics solution to shorten data analysis turnaround times and to provide a better service to its customers.
Origin and foundation
A spinoff of the Technical University of Delft and the Imperial College in London, Bluebee is based in the Netherlands, with offices in Belgium and Boston. Its cloud-based genomics platform uses IBM Bluemix bare metal cloud servers and IBM Cloud Object Storage, as well as IBM Aspera to get the vast amounts of data in and out of the platform.
Aspera’s high-speed, reliable and resilient transfers contribute to reducing the end-to-end turnaround time of computational data analysis. It also enables Bluebee to comply with the strict security standards within the genomics industry.
Choosing IBM
Bluebee chose IBM Bluemix bare metal servers because IBM offers a “menu” from which the company can specify how much memory, how much CPU and what type of bandwidth it needs for each specific project. This means that Bluebee has the capability to engineer a system that exactly fits the task at hand. Bluebee found that other providers had more of a one-size-fits all approach.
Availability of local data centers was a key factor. Depending on where the customer is based, some regions have regulatory requirements that human genomic information may not leave the region. The Bluebee solution can be deployed in any of the 31 Bluemix data centers across the globe, and thus data residency control can be guaranteed to customers who can keep a consolidated overview of their data.
Benefits of cloud-based genomics
With Bluebee’s cloud-based genomics solution, customers don’t have to worry about the capital expenditure incurred by creating and maintaining in-house computer clusters. Customers don’t have to make any upfront investment at all. They pay as they go.
The solution offers the ability to scale, which is important when considering the large samples that come from cancer centers, for example. They typically submit two to three tumor cell samples along with a control sample for each patient, which could mean a total volume of data of more than 360 gigabytes per patient. In some cases, genomics data must be kept for at least five years, and a single genome string can potentially consume up to a terabyte of data.
Bluebee’s vision
Innovative technologies and techniques in genetic screening and analytics will enable the introduction of completely new diagnostics and therapies in healthcare. Bluebee believes that its unique combination of in-depth knowledge of the NGS field, high performance computing, clinical grade security, user convenience and cost effectiveness is essential to facilitate these breakthrough therapies.
