Summary
In this episode I talk with William Bell, EVP of Products at PhoenixNAP. PhoenixNAP was evolved from the need to consolidate network connectivity and offer colocation and cloud to Phoenix. From there it grew world wide by offering scalable, secure, and reliable, infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) offerings. PhoenixNAP uses a custom portal and their own set of APIs to enable the rapid creation of cloud services. Strong in IaaS, Backup and Disaster Recovery as a Service, I talk with William about how developing security products and looking ahead to the next wave of infrastructure hosting for cloud native workloads based on Bare Metal Cloud offerings is allowing pNAP to innovate and lead in the service provider market.
PhoenixNAP was founded in 1996 and started trading as that entity in 2009. The company is headquartered in the Greater Phoenix Area, Arizona
