The evolution of cloud infrastructure

I had a conversation with Jacob Smith, the CMO of Packet. Packet is a company that manages the raw infrastructure in data centers and has various products that automate data center tasks. They are being acquired by Equinix, of dot com infamy, who has quietly returned to a very large presence in US data infrastructure. The fun part of it was that he didn’t talk too much about his own company or the deal. Instead, it was a conversation about the evolution of data centers and cloud computing. And how today’s low latency demands are changing the formula for success.
