Pathwork Diagnostics, Inc. develops molecular diagnostic tests to aid oncologists in the diagnosis of hard-to-identify cancer tumors by analyzing large libraries of gene expression profiles from tumor specimens which require massive amounts of computational power at certain peak times. Looking to avoid a large hardware investment while still meeting its processing needs, Pathwork turned to cloud computing and Univa UD's UniCloud product to build high-performance computing (HPC) clusters in the EC2 cloud, in order to perform their compute-intensive research and to meet peak processing needs – saving on CAPEX and OPEX while increasing the capacity to innovate.A few highlights from the case study:* "Our challenge was a perfect fit for cloud computing."* "Without UniCloud, some of our most advanced research would simply not be feasible."* "We're getting exactly what we need. We pay for HPC power only when we use it, using a cluster management system that's easy to use."* "The
