In this episode, we sit down with Remington Loose and Josh Morris to explore the architecture, scale, and responsibility behind one of the most meaningful networks in the world. We dig into: How research networking differs from traditional enterprise IT The massive data demands behind pediatric cancer research Designing networks where downtime isn’t just inconvenient, it’s unacceptable Supporting clinicians, researchers, and life-saving applications simultaneously Lessons enterprise engineers can learn from healthcare environments From high-performance data movement to reliability strategies that operate without margin for error, this conversation reframes what networking looks like when human outcomes are on the line. Because in environments like St. Jude… The network isn’t just infrastructure; it’s part of the care team.
