The data collected and analyzed at the Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) in Sydney, Australia, could unlock the mysteries of a range of conditions, from cancer to brain conditions and developmental abnormalities. In state-ofthe- art facilities, CMRI researchers study human genetics and cell biology and share the findings with a global network of scientists in an effort to develop ways to prevent and treat these illnesses.

When CMRI added two new technologies to enhance research, the IT group knew it was time to update the storage area network (SAN) that housed research data. "The institute added an advanced measurement and analysis tool for microscopic research, plus a live-cell imaging microscope that can collect real-time, 3-D pictures of mouse embryonic cells as they grow," explains Darryn Capes-Davis, the information communications and technology manager at CMRI. "These tools require high storage capacity for images. To support the ongoing research at CMRI, we needed more storage space."
