Guidance for a personal medicine data center

Question

[Whoknows]

Hi friends

My questions are absolutely irrelevant to the website aims but I thought that one of the best place to use help of experts is Biostars. I searched through web and different group and various institutes who are leading in establishing biological data center for personal medicine purposes. I just find some of them which may not so relevant :

1. Broad institute, Analysis
2. iPlantCollaborative
3. 1000 Genome project
4. Arabian genome project
5. England genome project ,....

In fact I want some guidance to know about structure and infrastructure of a big biological data center for archiving, managing, analyzing,... like Broad institute. What are the most important characteristics of biological data center? (Software , hardware , Working staffs)

I'll try to complete this post if I found valuable information, Thanks.

There are threads discussing such topics, though as I looked many seem older and most likely would need to be revised (upwards):

• Ngs Data Centers: Storage, Backup, Hardware Etc..
• Hardware Suitable For Generic Nextgen Sequencing Processing?
• Hardware Benchmarking Tasks For A High-Performance Bioinformatics Cluster
• Best Hardware Solution For Medium-Size Bioinformatics Lab [15-20 Computers]
• Creating A New Bioinformatics Unit
