Replacing unsupported Paracel hardware with DeCypher

Still relying on equipment from Paracel? Support for GeneMatcher and BlastMachine systems expired in September 2005, which leaves your critical pipelines at risk. DeCypher combines the functionality of both GeneMatcher and BlastMachine solutions into one solution.

An independent comparison from the University of Calgary Center for Visual Genomics demonstrates that one Sun server with four G3-series DeCypher Engines runs Profilesearch 6.25x faster than a fully loaded Paracel GeneMatcher2. With 4 DeCypher Engine G4 boards, the DeCypher system is 11x faster than the GeneMatcher2.

DeCypher Advantages

• Modular design - order just the functionality your research currently requires. The DeCypher modules match all major functions of the Paracel GeneMatcher and BlastMachine.
  
  
• Easy scalability - simply plug in additional cards at any time for linear performance gains. To double the throughput, add a second DeCypher node. This chained-configuration also allows simultaneous processing of different algorithms.
  
  
• Flexible deployment - Install in virtually any server: Xeon, Opteron or Sun Sparc CPUs (from Dell, HP, IBM or Sun), and run any OS (RedHat, Fedora Core, Windows Server, Solaris 10)
  
  
• Job submission and reporting from any desktop on your network. Web interface plus remote command line clients ensure all users can leverage DeCypher’s capabilities.
  
  
• Environmental efficiency - DeCypher fits in a small footprin (generally a 2-4 CPU server, or 2-4U of rack space), minimizing costs associated with power, cooling, UPS & maintenance.
