When our new WAN Geography Benchmark generated some buzz earlier this year, we thought it would be cool to invite Principal Analyst Patrick Christian back to the pod to explain how this tool was developed.

It's one of those origin stories where a major customer needed to use several of our databases to run a bespoke analysis of their network. The project sparked a bright idea for how to help other enterprises with their data center decision-making.

In this episode, Greg also asks about the data behind the WAN Geography Benchmark. And Patrick delves into the latest cloud trends from his recent presentation 2021 Trends in Cloud Infrastructure and Global Networks.

The WAN Manager Podcast is now TeleGeography Explains the Internet. Hosted by Greg Bryan.
