Organon: Data
built 647 days ago
SGI Organon replaced two older SGI® servers with a SGI® Altix® 350 system with 32GB of memory running Linux® Enterprise Server 9 operating environment on 16 Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, and a 16-processor SGI® Origin® 3800 system running the SGI® IRIX® OS. The Oss center ... operates an Intel Architecture 32-bit (IA32) Linux cluster and two Sun® Solaris® servers. One Sun system runs VERITAS Mediaserver for backup; the other is a production server. All systems communicate over a SGI InfiniteStorage SAN running SGI® InfiniteStorage Shared Filesystem CXFS™, which gives users instant, concurrent access to data on all platforms across a multi-speed 2Gb/1Gb SAN with two 2Gb, 16-port FibreChannel switches.

Inside Organon, only a few selected employees and contractors have access to the server using a personal user account and a password. Both employees and contractors are made aware on a regular basis of the security policy through internal memos and every time there is a major change in the policy of handling this data.
"Organon's selection of Velocity is testament to our ability serve the vital pharmaceutical industry. Velocity addresses the need for absolute accuracy and timely delivery of information which is paramount to increasing productivity and efficiency," said Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO of Vivísimo. "With the recent release of Velocity 5.5, we expect our customer roster will expand to include more data intensive organizations such as Organon because it eliminates concerns about enterprise performance."

Organon intends to use the software to improve communication and collaboration between scientists in the different stages of the discovery process. It will encourage its employees to share data and knowledge at earlier stages of the development process and so more accurately predict drug effects in humans at a much earlier phase.

Organon will provide an interactive demonstration of the Velocity deployment at the upcoming European Text Analytics Conference in Amsterdam (textanalyticsnews.com/europe07/) on Friday, April 27th. The summit delivers an innovative and informative meeting point for the unstructured data space and provides attendees the opportunity to gain insight on the latest deployments for text analytics technologies with real success, from the end users themselves.

The registration data from the site is stored on a secure server that resides behind a firewall after it reaches Organon. The firewall is designed to block access to this data from outside the site. This registration data is backed up every day.
