Novartis is among the world leaders in the development of innovative drugs in the main therapeutic areas, in the production and marketing of generics and biosimilars. These businesses are part of two divisions: Innovative Medicines (comprising the Novartis Pharmaceuticals and Novartis Oncology Business Units) and Sandoz. Novartis is the largest clinical research investor in Italy, with an investment of € 80 million in R&D in 2019.

During the research activities related to the development of vaccines, the customer needed to manage a large amount of data, in the Next-Gen Sequencing field, that is the series of technologies that allows to sequence large genomes in a short time, of the order of weeks. It also required very high performance and near zero risk of failure during parallel computing operations. E4 therefore provided an HPC cluster with high reliability characteristics (96 dual socket servers for a total of 1,152 cores); a high-performance storage for parallel computing; and Infiniband interconnection to ensure ultra-high performance and low latency.

To the implementation of the highly customized system to respond to customer needs, E4 has also added support service with remote cluster monitoring. Thanks to this operation, E4 guarantees the customer constant operation of the system and continuous systems support.
