On this episode of The Bridge, I’m joined by Brian Eichman, Vice President of Business Development at CoreSite. We’re having an in-depth conversation about the changing make up of the data center in light of AI.
CoreSite, an American Tower company, provides hybrid IT solutions that empower enterprises, cloud, network and IT service providers to monetize and future-proof their digital business. Their highly interconnected data center campuses offer a native digital supply chain featuring direct cloud onramps to enable our customers to build customized hybrid IT infrastructure and accelerate digital transformation.
During our conversation, we discussed the evolution of data center customers, including the rise of hyperscale providers, SaaS companies, and enterprises. We get into how the challenge of bridging the gap between real estate-centric thinking and customer requirements in the data center industry, artificial intelligence optimization in the world of data centers, and so much more.
Topics covered in this episode:
● The importance of product development in addressing evolving customer needs.
