 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Barb Mitchell coming to you today from ITW 2021. Joining me today is Sean Barton, Chief Operating Officer of Edge Presence. Sean, thank you so much for joining us. Welcome to JSA TV. Hello, thanks so much for having me. It's a pleasure. Why don't we start by having you, for those of our viewers who don't already know, would you tell us a little bit about yourself and about Edge Presence? Sure, I have a background in technology, everything from hardware, software, infrastructure, telecommunication, it kind of runs the stack, as do my colleagues at Edge Presence. And what we've done is we've taken all of that collective knowledge and put it forward to build modular multi-tenant data centers to deploy out on the edge. Okay, and I mean 2021 has been a great year for Edge Presence actually. You've received a number of fantastic accolades. So I'm going to list a few. So these include CRNs, ranking in CRNs, 10 hottest Edge computing startups, STL partners, 60 Edge computing companies to watch. And most recently and impressively, you earned the number one spot in tech tribunes best tech startup in Jacksonville. So tell us about this. What's behind this? Why are you winning all these awards? What's behind all your growth and this success trajectory that you're on? I think we feel really lucky to be recognized. And I think that where we're finding success is the fact that we have taken our backgrounds and really focused on the core elements of data center. And when we look at our designs and deployment and the operations of these data centers, we try to keep our costs low, stay very lean and nimble, which allows us to quickly change and adapt and evolve to meet our customers needs. And that has really, really enabled a lot of success for us. We've also expanded quite a bit to several locations throughout the US. Can you, can you talk to us about those locations and others that may be on the horizon in the future for Edge presence? Sure, sure. We have two, two key strategies for deployment. The original deployment strategy was to focus on tier two, three and four cities that do not currently have a data center. And we did a lot of research to determine what we thought were the next right communities that needed a data center. And so we went ahead and started our deployment list focused on 100 plus sites that we identified. And we're trying to slowly get out to all 100 sites. In addition to that, we are second deployment strategies to focus on core clients when we have an anchor tenant that needs to go out to a city. We've sort of developed into a data center on demand scenario where if a client says, well, I need to be within this specific geographic location, we can take down property and deploy there pretty rapidly. Well, so it sounds like you're, I mean, you're already taking on a lot and made, you've made great progress to that end. But what's next? You know, we're always thinking of, okay, that's great for now, but what's next? You know, how about next year? What's next year going to look like for Edge presence? I think it's just going to encompass a lot of tremendous growth. I mean, we've got a, we've got a national contract with an MNO and we're going to see a lot of growth nationally in deployments throughout the next several years, based on that loan. And then we have our core strategy that we're still following, as well as some other things that are developing very rapidly. And I think the other thing that's going to really lend itself to growth over the next couple of years is when we talk about Edge and next technology, the next gen technology and applications and things. I think we've seen them, a lot of them being incubated in the last couple of years and tested in labs and in small environments. And now they're getting really ready to hit the deployment stage on a lot of those, those technologies. I think we're going to see that really fold into the mix in the next couple of years as well. So for those of our viewers who want to follow this path that you're on and learn more potentially about Edge presence, where can they go to find you? It's very easy to reach www.edgepresence.com. We list everything about our deployments out there, where we're going, our news is out there, even some of our design elements that sets us apart from the other data center companies that are out there. It's all on the website. Thank you. Thank you, Sean, so much for your time. Really appreciate you taking a few minutes out of your busy schedule to chat with us today. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA podcasts. Happy networking.
