 Welcome back to JSATV Live, the newsroom for tech, telecom, and data center professionals. Buffy Harakitas, and we're back at Channel Partners 2023 in fabulous Las Vegas. And joining me today, we have Farron Ali, Senior Product Manager of Console Connect, and Kevin Oden. He is the Chief Revenue Officer for StackPath. Gentlemen, welcome to JSATV. Thank you. Great to be here. Yeah, so exciting news today, right? You guys just launched a new partnership between both companies. And there's no better place to do that than here at Channel Partners, the biggest partner event in the world. So why don't you tell us, Kevin, a little bit more about the partnership and why you guys decided to join forces? Yeah, absolutely. So we're really excited about the partnership between StackPath and PCCW. You've got two companies with unique capabilities, and when you combine those capabilities, we really have an offering now that's unique, and I think it's the first of its kind and maybe the only of its kind in the world. So if you combine what PCCW can do with a private virtual circuit, basically connecting, how many locations now? So we have now in 10 countries, five and a half million edge ports. So five and a half million locations that can be instantly connected into the edge computing environment at StackPath. And so again, it's a capability and a complexity reducer that is the first of its kind in the world. It is indeed, yes. So one of a kind partnership. We're so excited to have you guys here talking about it. Why don't we turn the question over to you, Farnam, from ConsoleConnect. Can you tell us a little bit more about PartnerConnect? So PartnerConnect is partner connectivity enablement program where we have, we take on a partner which is more organic to our connectivity, our late two, late three capabilities, and now we have the ability to do edge connectivity. So the next focus is to build edge connectivity portfolio where StackPath and partner like that comes very, very important to us because we have the edge connectivity. They have the edge portfolio. So they have edge compute, add security, and then delivery. So it becomes quite, it's exciting time for us. It becomes quite interesting for us to have such partnerships. Like Kevin said, it's pretty unique in the world at the moment. Not many people have what we have or what we're trying to do with two companies together. Customer has the ability to spin up five and a half million locations when they want. Wow. I mean, this really sounds like a one-of-a-kind partnership like you guys have been talking about so far. Is there anything else, Kevin, that you wanted to touch on as far as this partnership goes? Why you guys joined Forces and how it directly benefits your clients at StackPath? Yeah, absolutely. So we get requests all the time for direct connectivity into our edge computing infrastructure. And if you can imagine somebody that has an application that has certain performance requirements and they need to be at the edge, the one thing that you don't want to do is isolate those applications from your infrastructure that's sitting in hyper cloud type providers and data centers, public or private or on-prem. And so with this partnership, now within 30 seconds or less, give or take, you can now have connectivity into an edge computing center from virtually anywhere on the planet. And I think that for the partner community as a whole and our customers directly, this is a game changer. It definitely sounds like a game changer and speed, time, it's everything, right? Everything. Yes. So can you tell us why we're talking? Can you tell us a little bit more about your platform in general? Yeah, so we like to say that we're the first, the best, and the only pure play edge computing provider on the planet. So if you think about the capabilities that modern day applications require, everything is moving closer to end user customers. And that's really kind of our North Star we want to be all about performance and ease of use. And how about from console connect? Is there anything else that you'd like to tell viewers today that are tuning in? Yeah, absolutely. So console connect, as you know, that connectivity is our bread and butter, right? So now what we've gone in the last couple of years is create a portfolio where we have partners who are connecting into console connect. So we provide that underlying network for them, which like Kevin mentioned here that they're looking for direct connectivity all the time. And we are looking for the partners where we need edge compute, edge storage, edge delivery and security services. So for us, it's a great opportunity, exciting times to come ahead. And we're looking forward to enable more and more sites in there. Yeah. Is this your first time at the show? This is my fourth time actually. So yes. Okay. Is this the best one so far? Or what do you think? It's quite exciting. Yes, I'm quite keen. It gets better every year. Lamborghini over there. Avant is giving away a Lamborghini race to the edge. I think it's called. I'm feeling lucky. Yeah. Definitely feeling lucky here in Las Vegas. There's no better place to feel lucky in the world. Indeed.
