From Cloud-First to Data-First: Building an AI-Ready Data Factory for Life Sciences
May 20 – 21, 2026 @ 1:20
Speakers: Adam Marko and Dia Ali
Petabyte-scale genomics, imaging, and multi-omics data are exposing the limits of cloud-first architectures in Life Sciences research. As datasets spread across labs, clouds, and compute environments, fragmented data and costly data movement are slowing research pipelines and AI-driven discovery.
This session shows what shifting from cloud-first to data-first looks like in practice. See how a global data platform combining Hitachi VSP One and Hammerspace helps unify distributed research data, reduce unnecessary movement, and support the scale required for AI-driven genomics and drug discovery.
You’ll learn practical ways to keep research pipelines and AI training moving across HPC, on-prem, and cloud environments.

Hammerspace joins Hitachi Vantara at Bio-IT World 2026 in Boston, MA. Hammerspace unifies file and object data across multiple storage systems from any vendor — on-premises and in the cloud — into a single, high-performance global namespace. Hammerspace automates the movement of massive datasets from cryo-EM scopes, sequencers, and other instruments directly to HPC clusters and AI platforms for analysis – without manual data copying.
Combine GPU server-local storage, NVMe scratch tiers, project data and archived data in a unified global namespace to simplify operations and accelerate research workflows. Whether powering next-generation sequencing pipelines, AI-based drug design, or large-scale simulation workloads, Hammerspace delivers the throughput, scalability, and data agility that modern life sciences research demands.Come visit our booth to learn how to accelerate research and discovery with a High-Performance Data Platform built for scalable research workflows.
