Overview:

The Daggett Research Group within the University of Washington Department of Bioengineering is world-renowned in the study of protein stability, function, and folding. However, because the group had more than 64 terabytes of simulation data stored on more than 10 Linux-based file servers and 100 disks, mining the data was complicated and time-consuming. The Daggett Research Group used Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to address the challenge, taking advantage of the software's relational and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) capabilities to build a 20-terabyte data warehouse that vastly simplifies the management and analysis of simulation data. By fundamentally changing how the group analyzes simulation results, the solution has accelerated time-to-insight for new discoveries and enabled researchers to investigate questions that were practically impossible to answer in the past.
