 Welcome to JSA TV Live. This is the live streaming news source for DataCloud USA. And today we are coming to you live from beautiful Austin, Texas, where we're hearing from thought leaders around the tech telecom and data center space. I am Keeley Dorian and joining me right now we have Stuart Lawrence, Vice President of Product Engineering with Stream Data Center. So thank you so much and welcome to JSA TV Live. Thank you so much. Great to be here. Hook him, as they say in Austin, Texas. Great show so far. Great panel this morning. Having a good time. That is really excellent to hear. And you can just definitely feel the energy. Lots of people just excited to be all in the same room together. So let's dig right in and let's talk a little bit about Stream. Just for those of us who don't know, can you just share a little bit more about what you guys do and where you're located? Yeah, happy to. So Stream Data Center is part of Stream Realty located in Dallas, Texas. We are a full slate developer of data center sites. So we'll do land, we'll do corn shell, we'll do fully operated MEP fit out facilities. Typically we work with Fortune 100, hyperscale type customers on wholesale type deals. And in-house engineering, great operations team. We work across the spectrum. Always a lot going on I'm sure. Lot going on, yeah. And we've been around since 1999, right? We've built over 25 data centers now. We've got a raft of facilities and campuses that are underway for our customers. So yeah, we've had our challenges as with everybody else. It's been an incredible last couple of years. But we continue to be trusted and asked to deliver. And so far, touch word, things are going well, but very busy, absolutely. Well, let's talk about you for just a moment. Here, if we can, back in May, you were named the vice president of product engineering at Stream. So congratulations for that. What exciting things have you and your team been working on for your customers? A huge amount, right? So not only dealing with supply chain, figuring out how we can adapt certain things, what we can do with our design to make it more streamlined, to be able to deliver faster in budget on time for our customers, right? We've been developing new fan wall technology for our cooling platform. We've been looking at how we build on the topology that we've currently got for electrical design, specifically for some of our hyperscale customers that have some different redundancy requirements. So I've been extremely busy working with construction, working with design, working with our consulting engineers. Not a lot of sleep over the last six months, but it's been fabulous. Yeah, I'm having a thoroughly good time at Stream data centers. Well, you know the saying, no rest for the weary. So you're just going to fall into that category, my friend. The one I know is no risk for the wicked. So, yeah. The wicked or the weary? Can we say both? Well, you guys have also been very busy on the customer front. You recently, Stream recently announced it was selected as a trusted data center partner by T-Systems. Can you share some of the details about that and why that was just a good fit for both of you? Yeah, you know, it's sort of indicative of us with all of our clients, right? So Stream, like I said, privately held since 1999, we are a trusted vendor to all of our customers and it's because we are very candid. We never get over our skis. We try to honestly portray exactly what we have coming and we generally deliver what we set out to promise, right? So a lot of the time, the things that we bring to the table for our customers are just very, very good clarity in supply chain and what's going on and how we're going to deliver. And so they trust us. There's a very high depth of trust and we continue to do that. So, you know, coupled with, I think, a very good understanding of the facilities in general, electrical topologies, the mechanical side of the equation, we can deliver the goods when it comes to that side of the house. And speaking of that trust, I mean, you really do have a very good industry reputation and I've read a stat. I've got it right here. It's something like 80% of your customer base is made up of Fortune 500 companies. Do you believe it's because of that level of trust that you have established with them? Yeah, I mean, you get found out very, very quickly by those folks, right? If you can't deliver what you've promised. And I think that shows, you know, in the over 20, what's it, 23 years now, Stream has been operating. We've never ever been sued. We've never had a client terminate early on a contract. We've never had someone leave and sue the company. So very reliable, very honest instead fast. And so, I mean, I think that just shows most of our clients would like us to deliver more capacity, right? So, but we're not going to get over our skis. We're going to stay to the course and we will grow. And we've been doing that tremendously, but without getting outside of our comfort zone, I think. Yeah, absolutely. And so any sneak peeks of what you can give us, what's to come in 2023 for Stream? You know, so we're already ordering for 2024, actually. Most of our infrastructure for 2023 has been ordered and paid for a lot of it. It's on its way. And we've got a huge amount of capacity and some new geographies that are coming out will be announced fairly shortly. One of them got leaked actually a few months ago, but no, we'll continue to build on the sites campuses we have. Like I said earlier, we've been working pretty hard on a cooling platform in the background that gives our customers a lot more flexibility and freedom and allows us to construct in a better way. So there's some of that coming. Just, you know, small improvements along the way, make sure that we iterate correctly and keep sailing tight. So where can people go now that you've given us these teasers, how can we follow you and where can we go for more information? Yeah, streamdatacenters.com I think is a good place to start. I think, you know, a lot of the folks that are in site assessments and looking for land and stuff know us pretty well. But for anyone who doesn't, you know, the usual social media outlets were here and come and talk to us. Yeah, we're, we might not have a lot to sell you. A lot of our customers have taken it all, but we're always open to developing. We'll develop and sell you a piece of land. We'll do a shell. We don't have to be tied to a whole, you know, the whole facility as it were. Well, thank you so much for stopping by. I hope that you're having a great conference and that you enjoy the rest of it. So thank you very much for joining us here on JSA TV and thank you for joining us as well and as always, happy networking.
