Sun Microsystems Awards Grant to Support the Open Bioinformatics Foundation's Open-Source Research Tools
"Sun Microsystems, Inc. today announced that it will grant hardware, including servers and a secure storage system, to the Open Bioinformatics Foundation, which distributes, develops and supports standards-based open source tools for life science research and data integration. The foundation will use the hardware to update its infrastructure, enabling more reliable and secure distribution of its tools and collaborative services over the Web."
""The grant from Sun puts us at a milestone in our project's history. With Sun hardware at the heart of our third-generation infrastructure, our users will benefit from superior performance, data integrity and security," said Chris Dagdigian, systems manager and project administrator for the Open Bioinformatics Foundation. "This will allow us to meet the growing demand for open-source bioinformatics tools, and continue to build international support for the open standards approach to life sciences research."
"The Open Bioinformatics Foundation is an umbrella group for the various bio*.org projects that grew out of the original BioPerl project. The goal of the foundation is to provide financial, administrative and technical assistance for our various open source life science projects."

“Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.”
