Reason #5 - You need speed

Another reason to work in the Venture Development Center:

We told our IT folks: “Big science will be done here. Have at it.”

They delivered. The VDC is the fastest place on the UMass Boston campus. Universal CAT 6A connections everywhere linked by fiber optic cable to the data center which is connected to Internet2.

The IT folks did not stop there. Because you also have to be able to dynamically visualize data, not just process or store it, we installed a full high definition plasma display, at 103”, the largest in the world.

Now you can take advantage of the new availability of huge amounts of data, along with the statistical tools to crunch these numbers, and experience a whole new way of understanding the world. So go sequence an entire ecosystem.

We think big so you can too.
