Go with the Data Flow
The solution for professional, highly efficient, secure storage and processing of large image data. ACQUIFER HIVE is a most efficient data platform to handle and master the growing data volumes of new microscopy methods and modern imaging technologies. Specifically, HIVE is optimally suited to receive data at very high speed, organise and securely store data and process data. Ideal for core facilities, multi-user micro-scopy laboratories or high-speed image acquisition systems. As an active, centralized data storage solution, HIVE provides fast data transfer within the existing network infrastructure, highly efficient image processing, and secure remote login for safe data access without any need to move the data. HIVE is easily expand-able and customisable with its modular design (CORE, DATA, NET and GPU modules).
HIVE Modules can be combined in many combinations for even very daunting IT tasks.
