We provide client-based bioinformatics services for PIs inside and outside a university. Over the next few years, we could potentially have hundreds of clients. We would like to be able to provide each investigator with a dashboard where they can view their results and analysis, and communicate. Can LabKey handle that?

Hi Ariel,

LabKey should be able to handle that. Right now on our own LabKey.org site, we have nearly 100 different projects alone, each with their own respective group of folders and subfolders (upon subfolders and even more subfolders!) Another one of our clients at Fred Hutch has even more than we do folder and project structure-wise, so I am pretty sure you should be okay here out of the box. I think the biggest factor to consider is to make sure that as your clients grow, your server grows with it as well to meet the demand (e.g. memory, drive space, database needs, etc). We also are making continual improvements and enhancements within LabKey too, which will only benefit your future needs as your clients grow.

Regards,

Jon

Thanks Jon. We are doing LabKey development as well here at OHSU for various other projects. Sounds like it might be a good solution for this one as well.
