Now that the dust has settled with INAP's acquisition of Singlehop, I wanted to speak with one of the brains at the company who was front and center during the transition to get a raw view into the why, how and what's next at the company. Who better than my friend Josh Williams, INAP's now VP of Solutions Engineering who spent 5 years at Singlehop and now leading the entire SE team for the company. Josh and I are aligned on many levels outside of both growing up in the Windy City in the 80's and 90's. His "gear head" perspective, having worked in various engineering roles on the client side, and love for technology has always been appreciated. We discuss a few multi-cloud case studies, how the new interconnection solutions available are transforming how cloud services are consumed, what drives a client to consume managed services in the first place and trends he sees from the partners INAP works with that are creating clear winners and losers.
