InforSense announces the launch of its integrative analytics platform KDE on Mac OS X version 10.4 Tiger, and of InforSense BioSense Grid, said to be the first service-based high-performance environment for creating and publishing bioinformatics applications, on the Apple Workgroup cluster.
InforSense BioSense Grid integrates Inquiry, the cluster and web portal for bioinformatics from BioTeam, with the visual workflow, analytics and web services based architecture of InforSense KDE.
"BioSense Grid offers a unique environment for large scale bioinformatics," said Yike Guo, CEO and founder of InforSense.
"With the popularity of the Apple Mac platform among life sciences researchers, the high performance Tiger and Xserve G5 cluster was the obvious choice for our first BioSense Grid demonstration".
"Science and biotech researchers are increasingly choosing the power, stability and ease-of-use of Mac OS X and Xserve G5," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of worldwide developer relations.
"We're excited that InforSense has taken advantage of Apple innovation to give researchers rapid and reliable access to important data, tools and computational power."
