Global namespace is becoming a critical strategy for cancer genomics, precision medicine, and life sciences data infrastructure. In this episode of Data Unchained, Molly Presley speaks with William Baird from Guardant Health about managing 160PB of genomic data across HPC, on prem systems, and multi-cloud environments. They break down why 80% of this data is still active, how researchers need faster access without worrying about where data lives, and why global namespace could become a major solution for decentralized data at scale. The conversation also explores vendor flexibility, continuity, standards development, and what it takes to support life sciences workflows when the stakes are incredibly high.
