On Thursday, November 12 at 8:35 AM, Mr. Lawson-Shanks will join executives from Evercore ISI, Codero Hosting and SUPERNAP for a discussion titled, “Edge Computing vs. the 5-Watt Mega Data Center: Should You Be Growing Your Business in Hot Secondary Cities or the Big 6?” The panel will explore how today’s successful organizations make colocation decisions.
