The Challenge

Data Fragmentation Slowing Research

The biotech firm was struggling with siloed data and manual processes that slowed their critical drug discovery research, with GPU resources poorly utilized across disparate systems.

Data Fragmentation

Research data scattered across multiple systems with no unified view for AI/ML workflows

Slow Model Training

GPU resources were scarce and poorly utilized, creating bottlenecks in ML experimentation

Compliance Concerns

FDA and HIPAA requirements demanded strict data lineage and security controls
