SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit of your background, and where you focus your efforts at Equinix?

Topic 2 - Equinix is in a very interesting position in the market, because you have visibility to so many different trends - cloud interconnects, edge computing, application migrations, etc. As we move into 2023, what are some of the trends that you’re keeping an eye on?

Topic 3 - You focus on Edge computing. It seems like a very fragmented market (many definitions, many use-cases, many business models). How do you think about the breadth of Edge?

Topic 4 - What are some of the trends you’re seeing from the big cloud providers, and how does it impact different size businesses?

Topic 5 - You also have a focus on bare metal computing. Is that still primarily a performance-centric play in the market, or are there new trends happening that expand what bare metal can be a part of?

Topic 6 - Going forward, what role do you see the global Co-Location providers planning in Cloud, or Edge, or other major trends over the next 5+ years?
