The Internet is a network of networks. It's built across fiber, satellite, and subsea cables that span the globe. It seems really resilient; there isn't a single off switch. But you already knew that. What we don't talk much about is the infrastructure that supports it and to some degree, it's vulnerability. This week, I invited Vinay Nagpal to help us understand why internet infrastructure matters so much to us. Vinay is the President of InterGlobix, a data center and fiber consultancy group. He is also the Executive Director and Founding Member of the Internet Ecosystem Infrastructure Committee (IEIC). He's heavily involved in a wide range of industry boards and advisory roles. In other words, he really knows what he's talking about. So join us for a really cool conversation on this week's episode of The QTS Experience.
