TherapyEdge™ Box Server, academic/government

The TherapyEdge™ Box server includes pre-installed and pre-configured software that makes it easy for a research facility of any size or at any level of sophistication to instantly begin viral typing research studies. It has been developed with a specific focus for HIV monitoring, but because of its extensible architecture it has been extended for monitoring of other viruses including hepatitis B and hepatitis C.

The TherapyEdge Box integrates easily into any network architecture and thus provides a single point of access to numerous knowledge bases. Because of its web-based interface and architecture, one TherapyEdge box can serve a single facility or a large geography with numerous remote facilities such a regional research site. This makes it a cost-effective solution. The TherapyEdge Box is built using open source technologies, making it very extensible and robust without incurring significant ownership costs.
