It's not easy to buy in the data center space. It's time-consuming,
complex, not standardized and hasn't really changed significantly since the
late '90s. Using Edgevana puts customers back in control. They'll have
the ability to benefit from those services they expect from a large single
provider, while enjoying greater flexibility of options, services, locations,
and price. Customers now have the ability to look at supply in one city, 10
cities or 10 countries, perform their due diligence and close a deal with
one contract and one bill without concern for how many underlying suppliers
there are. Edgevana relieves the customer of the burdensome task of attempting
to identify the best option among a long list of options by unifying access to
global colocation providers.
The scale and geo diversity of partners in the Edgevana Community means that
customers will have access to services and solutions that are unavailable in
most data centers. Through the greater whole of the community, Edgevana
will be able to introduce services like "Edge Design &
Deployment" or "Renewable & Sustainable energy" and
"Net Zero" projects. Service and product offerings will gain in
variety and price through dramatically improved economies of scale and
Edgevana will deliver that value to customers. Whether the need is power,
space and cooling, bandwidth, smart hands, hardware acquisition, stack design,
cloud connects, lifecycle management, global logistics or Corporate
Sustainability relief, Edgevana's data center community will have the scale to
help.
"I couldn't be more satisfied with how Edgevana is coming together and
how supportive the supplier and buyer communities have been for this little
idea. Bringing new value to the existing supplier community, while improving
options for customers is a true win/win," said Mark Thiele, CEO and
founder, Edgevana.
"The idea behind Edgevana seems so obvious in retrospect. In my decade
of supporting enterprises on their data center journeys, the issues were always
the same, time-to-value was too long, and the process too complex. I'm
excited to be a part of helping to fix these long-standing industry issues,"
said Subhan Jahromi, COO and co-founder, Edgevana.
"I've seen a wide range of 'new ideas' come to market over the last 10
years and what Edgevana is doing has the most promise of any of them. I'm
thrilled with being a part of this company," said Peter Gross,
Edgevana board member.
The full Edgevana platform is under development, with expected
launch in Q1 2021.
In the meantime, the website will give visitors plenty
of options to choose from and Edgevana will help them behind the scenes
manually, until the platform is ready. Please visit: www.edgevana.com
