<v ->If asked to describe what EdgeConneX is,</v>

2
00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:07.370
think of us as a bespoke data center builder

3
00:00:07.370 --> 00:00:09.230
who works in partnership with our customer.

4
00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:11.020
We work with a customer determining exactly

5
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:12.950
what they're trying to deliver in that marketplace,

6
00:00:12.950 --> 00:00:14.370
and exactly where we should

7
00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:17.080
position our data center to best serve that market.

8
00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:19.090
It's all about location, location, location.

9
00:00:19.090 --> 00:00:22.350
75% of internet traffic is rich media content.

10
00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:24.536
We found with our partners in Conviva

11
00:00:24.536 --> 00:00:27.220
that when we place that content locally,

12
00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:30.400
the service delivery to their customers is

13
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:32.140
at least 25% better than

14
00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:34.460
if it wasn't served out of our buildings.

15
00:00:34.460 --> 00:00:36.870 line:15% 
It was actually Comcast Ventures that

16
00:00:36.870 --> 00:00:39.780 line:15% 
made the introduction between EdgeConneX

17
00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:41.940
and the chief network officer of Comcast.

18
00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:44.180
Out of that meeting, EdgeConneX pivoted

19
00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:48.000
from being a small point of presence provider,

20
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:51.180
to the world's leading hedge data center provider,

21
00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:55.230
with now 30 data centers in 27 markets across the globe.

22
00:00:55.230 --> 00:00:57.570
<v ->With the help and the guidance of Comcast Ventures,</v>

23
00:00:57.570 --> 00:01:00.280
moving the Xfinity platform locally

24
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:01.870
into the market it had to be served.

25
00:01:01.870 --> 00:01:03.370
That brought a central point where we had to

26
00:01:03.370 --> 00:01:05.360
rethink how to deliver a data center,

27
00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:07.150
how to architect it, how to create it,

28
00:01:07.150 --> 00:01:08.780
how to maintain it and manage it.

29
00:01:08.780 --> 00:01:11.000
The traditional internet architecture

30
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.260
cannot possible cope with what's coming next.

31
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:16.470
That's really where EdgeConneX is leading the field,

32
00:01:16.470 --> 00:01:19.320
designing facilities that can accommodate

33
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:21.400
the technology that's being developed today.

34
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.440
This pivot that Comcast Ventures brought us into

35
00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:28.510
has dramatically change the data center marketplace.

36
00:01:28.510 --> 00:01:31.110
Now many, many people are trying to copy this model

37
00:01:31.110 --> 00:01:33.350
although, they've got a long way to go to catch up.

38
00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:36.180
<v ->We've been able to deliver value to our customers,</v>

39
00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:38.020
and our customers have rewarded us

40
00:01:38.020 --> 00:01:39.830
by giving us more responsibility,

41
00:01:39.830 --> 00:01:43.110
asking us to solve bigger and more complex problems.

42
00:01:43.110 --> 00:01:44.593
We think that's gonna continue.
