EdgeConneX: The View From the Edge

Aug 5, 2022

EdgeConneX has built one of unique growth stories in digital infrastructure. An early leader in edge computing, EdgeConneX later began building huge data centers for hyperscale operators. It's a result of following the customers, says Phillip Marangella, the Chief Marketing Officer of EdgeConneX. On today's show, Marangella speaks with host Rich Miller about how edge computing has evolved and where it is headed, how EdgeConneX is seeking to build a diverse workforce, and how the company's 2020 acquisition by EQT Infrastructure has accelerated growth.

Here's a timeline of topics Philllip and I discuss on the podcast:

  • 1:00 - The EdgeConneX story: What it does and who it helps.
  • 7:00 - The demand tidal wave: "We're all building as fast as we can."
  • 9:15 - Understanding the Edge: "It's the user experience ... It's not rocket science."
  • 13:00 - Building the worfroce of the future, and why diversity matters at EdgeConneX.
  • 18:00 - Capital matters: How EQT's backing has turbo-charged growth.
  • 21:30 - Digital infrastructure is a global story.
