Edge + Cloud = Data Center? That’s the equation that Mark Thiele, CEO and Founder of Edgevana presents in the latest podcast episode. We’ve had Mark on when he was in the co-lo business and again as part of edge computing panel we had a few weeks ago. Mark hinted to his new business. His premise is that data center capacity needs will grow as a result of edge and individual end user organization owning and operating data centers.

However, how do you surface and contract dozens if not hundreds of contracts with data center and network providers. Edgevana’s ultimate goal is to automate the experience similar to cloud. Keith and Mark discuss the present and future of data center co-location procurement.

Recently, we selected QTS as a data center provider for the CTO Advisor Hybrid Infrastructure. We ran into a practical challenge of choosing a data center from the overwhelming number of options. Selecting a new data center CoLo isn’t an everyday activity Architects and CTO’s undertake. The obvious question is, where do you start? How do you identify the risks associated with selecting the wrong provider? Do you engage the likes of HPE, Accenture, or PwC select?

We used C3 Technology Advisors to help guide and introduce us to CoLo providers. An obvious question, how does a company like C3 make money if their advice to the consumer is free? Is this a free as in puppies or free as in social media platform?

Keith Townsend sat down with the found of C3 Technology Advisors, Matthew Toth, and his Systems Engineer, Ryan Dengate, to compare C3’s capabilities and business model to that of a Big 4 or IT vendor.
