As we’ve recently noted, online video is surging in usage and popularity, and that includes video for data center professionals. One of the most informative offerings is HawkTalk, a series of video interviews conducted by David Liggitt, the founder and president of datacenterHawk, which offers market research for the industry.
A good example is the recent HawkTalk with Chris Crosby, the CEO of Compass Datacenters and an industry veteran who was in on the ground floor of the data center boom in working with Nortel, CoreSite, Digital Realty and now Compass. Crosby offers some fascinating history, as well as talking about Compass’ growing focus on edge computing and gearing up for a range of form factors and destinations. Enjoy!
