🎯 The Challenge: Hyperspectral Cellular Data at Scale

Modern cellular imaging generates hyperspectral data that fundamentally differs from traditional "logs and clicks." With spatial-temporal continuous time-series data from robot-generated experiments, existing infrastructure fails to meet the unique demands of storing and streaming trillions of cells worth of imaging data.

🏗️ GenoBank's Hybrid Architecture Solution

Our solution implements a sophisticated hybrid storage architecture that combines the best of hot and cold storage, ensuring both cost-effectiveness and performance. The architecture seamlessly integrates:

  • Hot Storage (S3 Standard): Real-time access for active datasets
  • Cold Storage (S3 Glacier): Cost-effective long-term archival
  • BioNFT Access Control: Tokenized permissions for secure data sharing
  • GenoBank Streaming Endpoint: Sub-second access to any dataset

Data Flow Architecture

  1. Hyperspectral microscope generates 100-300 MB/sec of imaging data
  2. Data streams to S3 via multipart upload with automatic lifecycle policies
  3. GenoBank API manages access control via BioNFT ownership verification
  4. Streaming endpoint delivers data with CloudFront CDN optimization

⚙️ Technical Implementation

Scalable Upload Architecture

GenoBank's infrastructure handles hyperspectral data files ranging from 10GB to 1TB+ through an intelligent multipart upload system:

  • Chunked Processing: Large files are automatically split into optimal chunks for parallel upload
  • Automatic Recovery: Network interruptions don't require restarting - uploads resume from the last successful chunk
  • Metadata Preservation: Cell count, wavelength ranges, and resolution data are maintained throughout the pipeline
  • Progressive Upload: Researchers can begin analysis on uploaded portions while remaining data transfers
Key Innovation: Our system achieves 100-300 MB/sec sustained throughput by leveraging AWS's global infrastructure while maintaining complete data sovereignty through blockchain-based access control.

BioNFT-Gated Streaming Access

GenoBank's proprietary BioNFT access control system ensures that only authorized researchers can access hyperspectral datasets:

  • Blockchain Verification: Every access request is validated against Story Protocol's immutable ownership records
  • Time-Limited Access: Secure URLs are generated with automatic expiration to prevent unauthorized sharing
  • Global CDN Delivery: Once authenticated, data streams through CloudFront's 450+ edge locations for optimal performance
  • Sub-Second Latency: Despite security checks, first-byte delivery remains under 100ms globally
  • Granular Permissions: Owners can grant specific access levels - from read-only viewing to full download rights
Security + Speed: Our architecture proves that robust security doesn't require sacrificing performance. Researchers experience the same streaming speeds as traditional cloud storage, but with complete ownership control.

📦 Intelligent Storage Lifecycle Management

GenoBank's intelligent storage system automatically optimizes costs while ensuring your data is always accessible when needed:

Data Age Storage Tier Access Speed Pricing Typical Use Case
0-30 days High-Performance Instant (<100ms) Contact us for
custom pricing		 Active analysis & processing
30-90 days Standard Access Near-instant (<1s) Recent experiments
90-365 days Cool Storage Quick retrieval (<5s) Reference datasets
365+ days Deep Archive Planned access (hours) Long-term compliance
Smart Economics: Our tiered storage approach can reduce costs by up to 95% for archived data while maintaining the flexibility to quickly access any dataset when research demands it.

🚀 Real-World Performance Metrics

Our production environment consistently delivers exceptional performance for hyperspectral cellular data:

Upload Performance

  • Throughput: 100-300 MB/sec sustained
  • Reliability: 99.999% durability
  • Parallel Uploads: Up to 10,000 concurrent parts
  • Resume Capability: Automatic retry on network failure

Streaming Performance

  • First Byte: <100ms via CloudFront
  • Sustained Rate: 300 MB/sec per connection
  • Global Access: 450+ edge locations
  • Concurrent Users: Unlimited with CDN

Hypothetical Use Case: Trillion-Cell Analysis

Imagine a pharmaceutical research team working with a 50TB hyperspectral dataset containing over 1 trillion individual cell images. With GenoBank's infrastructure, they could:

  • Complete the entire upload in under 48 hours using parallel processing
  • Automatically optimize storage costs through intelligent tiering
  • Enable global research teams to access any data subset instantly
  • Maintain complete ownership and control through BioNFT tokenization
  • Establish revenue sharing models for collaborative research

* This represents the theoretical capabilities of our platform at scale
