By Contributing Editor, Kathy Xu

Dan Lunde, Managing Director of 1025Connect has called 1025 Old Country Road (1025OCR) in Westbury, New York home since he joined LIDARC (Long Island Data & Recovery Center) in October 2008 as Vice President of Sales. Dan held the same role when LIDARC was acquired in 2010 by ancotel USA, LLC. In late 2012, when ancotel GmbH was acquired by Equinix, Dan acquired ancotel USA, which is now called 1025Connect. Dan has been deeply entrenched in the Long Island and New York City metro area telecom scene for more than 20 years and his vast knowledge of global networks, carrier hotels and colocation facilities has made him a leader in the industry.

Data Center POST recently had the opportunity to sit down with Dan and discuss the emerging trends he anticipates impacting the telecom industry, new developments at 1025Connect, and his company’s attendance at International Telecoms Week 2018, taking place May 6-9 in Chicago.
