 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA podcast, the newsroom for telecom and data center professionals. I'm Laura Nolan coming to you from virtual PTC 21. Joining me today is Bill Radford, CIO of Edge Presence. Bill, happy to have you on JSA TV. Thank you very much. Let's get started. For our viewers who may not already know, please tell us more about Edge Presence. So Edge Presence is an operator of edge points of presence, providing traditional space power bandwidth and interconnection to its customers. We focused on multi tenant and single tenant built to suits, you know, someone wants the whole thing, they can have it. Basically, Edge Presence, what we do is we allow our clients to deploy their state of the art network of their edge storage or computing near where you or your customers need it most. You don't have to deal with the capital expenses, the operating complexity of a building that's out somewhere that's nowhere near where you're at maybe on the other side of the country, and you don't have to maintain the network. Each point of presence is secure, redundant, remotely managed in climate control environment that allows you to deploy your servers, communication equipment, routers, or any other gear you need. We do space by the rack unit. We do a quarter rack, a half rack full cabinet. Edge Presence provides build the suit options completely for customers looking for a fully managed solution, even on their own site, you know, we let in some cases we'll let you pick your site. And essentially our fleet of edge presence points are managed and monitored from centralized network here in Jacksonville. It helps to ensure the network operations center can handle everything you've got your availability security, and we do it all using our patent pending designs. Bill at PTC you are speaking on a panel it's called transformations in data center and network infrastructure development. Can you give us more insight as to what you'll be sharing on the panel. And then when it comes to the edge in response to the challenging year of COVID-19. So, you know, we'll discuss a bit of who we are and what would what we do. Each of us will get an opportunity to discuss our strengths, how will we do will affect the future of their respective edge environments. I expect we'll have a little bit of fun with the questions and ourselves. It's interesting to see how our strengths are completely opposite of each other you know for for one company they have this strength and for the other company like us we were exact opposite of someone. And I thought I thought it was great. And of course, don't forget, there's always that answer the secret soft question you know that's out there so each of us have to answer that and I think we all did a great job on that. We each had our own effects of COVID-19. Some of us were affected a little bit. Some of us were not really affected. For instance, we weren't particularly affected because you know what we're at right now is it's just, it's fire, you know, it's a fire industry I don't know how else to put it so for us, you know, we have to be out there and be ready. I think someone who watches this is going to have fun and it'll be interesting for them. Sounds like a wonderful, wonderful speaking panel so we look forward to watching that. Let's talk more about 2020 and we just mentioned some of the challenges that we're certainly aware of that that you're brought. There are a lot of bright spots as well, including the news that data bank made a $30 million strategic investment in edge presence so first congratulations. Thank you. And next what's on the horizon now for edge presence in 2021. What I would say is, you know, people should actually pay attention to data banks willingness to invest in edge presence. They're obviously one of the biggest players in the industry. They had a lot of options and they looked at every option when data bank got to its presence. I don't want to say they fought for us because they're bigger than we are, but I will say they made it very well known that they wanted this relationship. And we certainly listened to what they had to say. It's been great for both companies, and we're expecting big things to come from each other's partnerships now and in the future for each presence. It's all about accelerating our deployment and helping educate the world's enterprises on the advantages of our curbside co location. And this is going to allow edge presence to stay way ahead of the industry's curve, and it allows us to explore more offerings from all of our strategic partners as well as our current and future customers. We'll be watching for sure so before we leave last question is there anything else that you'd like to share with us before we wrap up.
