Sage-N Research Announces Enhancement to Sorcerer™ Platform

4 Oct 2012

Sage-N Research, Inc., the world leader in computational proteomics, has announced improvements in the SORCERER Platform. The latest SORCERER 2 configuration is now based on the Primergy® TX300-S7 tower server, including Intel's latest generation E5-2600 ("Sandy Bridge") series of processor. This transition by itself potentially provides a 30% or higher performance upgrade compared to the previous generation.

The server is also a more energy-efficient design, consuming less power and generating less heat, and furthermore offers more compute performance. And with 16 cores, vs the previous 8 cores, offers more simultaneous compute tasks to be completed.

David Chiang Chairman & CEO of Sage-N Research commented "The SORCERER has historically been known for its speed and reliability, and we are continuously looking for ways to improve the end user experience. The new hardware enhancements will help immensely with our GEMYNI™, twin-OS, multi-application platform for Life Science data analysis. With additional back-up and storage, this allows for greater system throughput and productivity, including more parallel searching in Sorcerer PE."

Sorcerer 2

Sage-N Research Inc.

Sorcerer 2 is designed to support multiple researchers, such as in high-throughput laboratories, core facilities and corporate environments.Designed for scientists whose throughput and sophistication needs outgrow their basic all-in-one proteomics software, while offering improved reliability and operating cost compared to cluster computers. High throughput, easy to use Sorcerer 2 is a fully integrated data analysis system that is compact enough to fit under a desk, yet powerful enough to run the most rigorous algorithms needed for successful pathway proteomic studies. Sensitive and comprehensive SEQUEST® searches with multiple PTMs enabled become routine, even for large datasets. Results analysis is available with Scaffold, the Trans-Proteomics Pipeline or Bioworks®.Benefits: -No IT maintenance -Plug and play setup -Simple operation -Multi-user, web-based workflows -Scriptable MUSE™ results post-processing and PTM characterization -Supports all major MS-MS vendors’ file formats -Search Thermo RAW files directly -Optimized for PTM analysis -Data repository for spectral data and results -Robust Linux-based multicore system
