On this episode of Altitude, Woody speaks with Zac Smith, the Global Head of Edge Infrastructure Services at Equinix, the world's largest operator of interconnected data centers. He is also the co-founder of Packet, which was acquired by Equinix and focused on automating computers and networks for developer-centric infrastructure.
Zac shares insights into the history and culture of Equinix, which has built a global network of over 250 interconnected data centers through a programmatic backbone. You’ll learn how Equinix commits to an open ecosystem model and reduces infrastructure friction, making it easy for customers to build their networks.
