 Welcome to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts where we're covering the latest stories, trends and innovations from leaders in global connectivity, real estate and the networks within. I'm Barb Mitchell here today live at Capacity Europe in London where we're continuing our coverage of JSA TV and today we're joined. Now I'm joined by Mark Cooper VP, Market and Business Development at Atlas Edge. It's great to be back. I mean the last year has gone so fast. Oh my gosh, hasn't it? I know it's been a year since we were here last but I saw some of your team members. I had the opportunity of chatting with them at Datacloud in Monaco but what was that five, six months ago? And so you know we stay on top of what of course you're doing at Atlas Edge and we did have that update but a lot's happened. Things are moving quickly. Give us an update. What's happened in the last sort of half of a year at Atlas Edge? I mean it's non-stop. I mean we're all about growth. We listen to our customers. The customers are always looking for expansion opportunities. So probably when we last caught up we just announced the data center one acquisition. So that's extending our footprint in Germany kind of reaffirming our focus which is where we're not really interested in doing the flat markets. We're much more about the tier two markets so that's happened. And I think excitingly for us as well Lisbon is a new market for us. So I think Lisbon is one of those markets that's becoming more and more relevant from a subsea perspective but also from a scale perspective because of the advantages of the power pricing there. So Lisbon is a really, really exciting one for us because it's the first new country we're going into and it's the first kind of real new greenfield build for us. So that's where we're going. Kind of more drops on the map. Yeah. But that's not all right because new acquisitions, new markets which is always exciting to talk about. I mean we've been chatting a lot here today and at various shows. I mean it's just such a global infrastructure market obviously. So that's very important but to really bring those forward partnerships are key. And I know that you've had a lot of those. Can you tell us a little bit about your partnerships? I mean we kind of, for us it's great to have the direct relationships. And there will always be large customers where we have those relationships. But we also know to get the reach and especially on a global basis it's about partnerships. So we announced we had from the SDN side, Console Connect, at Megaport. We had packet fabric because we see that they're just such key building blocks because we really focus on building the ecosystems in the data centers and it's the mixture. It's having the platforms, it's having the networks, it's having the enterprises. And partners like Console or Megaport, they really drive the growth of that ecosystem. Plus it's an extension of our sales force. Yeah, so key. You're ticking all the right major boxes. And so you've been with Atlas Edge since the very beginning I believe. And so when you think about where you've come and where you're going, what excites you the most? Just the size of the opportunity. So I joined in June 21 before the company for Existed. We launched in September 21. And if I just look at how much we've grown, the acquisitions we've done, the number of staff we've added, the locations, the relationships we've built with customers. I think if we look back no one could have predicted how much we've grown and how quickly it's grown. And there's just so much in the future that's coming as well. I think if we were here last year we probably talked about the metaverse. This year AI is the buzzword. And we just see that there's a whole wave of opportunity coming there, whether it's at the scale ends with the larger facilities or whether it's kind of addressing the enterprise demand from an AI's perspective. But I think next year we'll still be talking about AI. But I think the metaverse will kind of come back on the agenda as well because it's kind of closely linked. Yeah, they are, right? And driving so much of what's happening and the need for supply and the infrastructures to support it. And so yeah, thank you very much. I mean, this is a quick little update from you. But is there anything else that you want to share before we wrap up here and ways people can maybe connect with you for more... I mean, people better stay two and a half years and you've been moving so fast. Yeah, I think it's... If you look at the growth we've gone through in terms of what we've done with kind of geographic expansion, what we've done with acquisitions, what we've done with building the team out now. In the beginning there was the core that we had. We've added some very, very interesting names to the mix now as well. We're very focused on green as well. We're still seen as the bogeymen in the industry because we're data centres. But we have a lot of focus around what can we do to improve energy efficiency, what can we do around water, what can we do about integrating with the local environment as well. So Lisbon again is a great example. So the local council are building a police academy next to the data centre. It's great from a security perspective. Right, yeah. But also the wastey is going to go there to either power their donut shop or their... Nice, nice. And you're right. I mean sustainability is... It's all the things you're talking about. Metaverse, AI, sustainability is so key to the future of what we're all doing here, not just from an industry but from a planet perspective too. So thanks for mentioning that. And thank you for joining us and we always appreciate connecting with you. It's always a pleasure to talk to you guys. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV and JSA Podcasts. Happy networking.
