NuGenesis Technologies Extends Scientific Data Management (SDMS) System to IBM and Tivoli Systems
WESTBOROUGH, MA (March 20, 2001) – NuGenesis Technologies Corporation today expanded its data management offerings for the pharmaceutical industry with support for IBM and Tivoli systems.
Pharmaceutical researchers using the NuGenesis Scientific Data Management System (SDMS) can now send their output data to the Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) backup and archive product. NuGenesis SDMS users can also take advantage of IBM's high-performance and highly scaleable 3466 and AIX operating system with Tivoli Network Storage Manager (NSM) software for their processing and storage needs. NuGenesis SDMS aggregates disparate types of drug discovery and development data, including text reports, graphs and other documents, into a common format that can be easily searched and reused to further scientific knowledge.
"Above and beyond the present alliance, NuGenesis Technologies and IBM Life Sciences will continue to create synergistic opportunities in the Pharmaceutical industry," says Bernie Prusaczyk, Vice President of Business Development and Partner Channels at NuGenesis Technologies. "We believe in providing our customers with the best possible solutions for complete management and storage of critical scientific data."
"NuGenesis' support for IBM and Tivoli systems is further validation of IBM's growing leadership as an IT provider to the life sciences industry," said Anne-Marie Derouault, director of Business Development, IBM Life Sciences. "An important element in providing value is collaborations with business partners to bring new solutions to the market."
The combined IBM/NuGenesis Technologies platform addresses an important need in the pharmaceutical industry for highly scalable solutions to manage growing volumes of genomic, chemical and clinical data. IBM AIX delivers a powerful open UNIX platform for running critical pharmaceutical applications on enterprise-class servers. AIX supports both IBM POWER and Intel IA-64 architectures and has strong Linux affinity.
Tivoli Storage Manager is a high-performance solution for protecting and managing business information in an enterprise-wide Storage Area Network (SAN) or traditional network environment. The standards-based offering provides backup, archival, space management and disaster recovery capabilities for protecting data.
