 Welcome back to JSA TV Live, the live streaming network for tech, telecom, and data center professionals. Buffy Hierarchitis, back to you live in Austin, Texas, for DataCloud, USA. And joining me today is Spencer Nakini. Spencer, welcome to JSA TV. Hi Buffy, thanks for having me. Yeah, Spencer is the marketing campaign manager for Zadara. Can you tell us a little bit more about Zadara and what your company does? Yeah, absolutely, Buffy. So, Zadara is a cloud provider. Essentially, we provide storage and compute at the edge. We can provide it within AWS or a large hyperscaler. We can even provide it on a customer's own data center or anywhere in between. We have 400 locations around the world, including 130 in the United States, which makes us really apt to deliver a fantastic platform for people that are operating over a wide variety of workloads. And I see some big names on your shirt today. Some racing names. You have some exciting clients. Why don't you tell us a little bit more about some of your clients and the industries that you serve? Yeah, absolutely, Buffy. So, actually the reason why we wear this shirt is because we are the official cloud provider for Alfa Romeo's F1 racing team. So, we have a nice little logo right here on the sleeve. And it's an interesting use case. It kind of highlights the infinite deployability of our solution. Essentially, what the people at Alfa Romeo are doing with us is they're taking a full stack from Zadara, so storage and compute, and they're deploying us trackside at every single F1 race around the world. They're running all their car analytics on it, and then they're doing simultaneous replication of that data back to their headquarters in Switzerland, not Italy, Switzerland. And, yeah, using that information to help them win races and continue growing as a team. So, it's really cool to be able to support that, and also nice to have a really high visibility way to show just how well our solutions can not only handle demanding, performant workloads, but also be deployed pretty much anywhere regardless of geography. Wow, amazing that you're the official provider of Alfa Romero, yeah, wonderful. All right, so what other types of industries and challenges are you helping to solve? Yeah, so, I mean, we work across a wide range of industries. I would say that there's two main challenges that we help people solve. First, obviously, is price. I mean, the dollar makes everything go round, and whether you're operating on-prem or in the cloud, cost savings is always key. So, for example, our main value add when we look at comparing us versus a hyperscaler like AWS or Azure, is we usually come in about 40% cheaper for a lot of reasons, namely things like we don't charge egress, as well as we have a simplified billing, and then we also are significantly cheaper as an on-prem option because we're offering our solution in an OPEX consumption-based pricing model as opposed to the CAPEX that people are normally used to. And ultimately, what that means for our customers is freedom, the freedom to scale up, scale down, the freedom to do what they want with their data without being charged, nickel and dimed everywhere along the way. And it's something that really resonates with a lot of different industries, be it's, you know, I think one of our bigger use cases is object storage for, say, police bodycams. Yeah, there are a lot of people out there that will go and try to provision large environments that are gonna hold all of their police bodycams for the next five years, but ultimately they end up running out of space within a year and a half, and Zidar helps them save that headache by being able to, rather than go back to their IT department, or to their budgetary department and ask for another million dollars for a new box, you can just spin up more Zidara machines and we'll send them out to you really as needed. Yeah. Some interesting use cases there, so thank you for sharing them with us. And if viewers would like to learn more, can you tell us where to go? Yeah, well, I mean, so obviously come visit us at Zidara.com. You can also find us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, all of the big socials, I would say LinkedIn's probably the best place to get good content from us, but yeah, we have a whole plethora of solutions briefs and lovely white papers on our website, so feel free to visit Zidara.com slash resources. Zidara.com and very active on LinkedIn, yeah? Absolutely, yeah. Well, Spencer, thank you so much for joining us here in Austin, Texas, live, DataCloud USA, and thank you viewers for tuning in to another JSA TV live here at DataCloud USA. Stay tuned for some more great interviews and happy networking.
