    System Shock

    Even if you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably familiar with Bitcoin. Now, just as crypto disrupted the concept of value, decentralized finance is poised to disrupt finance itself. The populist movement promises huge returns for daring investors. But with DeFi’s promise of inclusion comes risk and uncertainty.

  • 00:00Bob cloud data service. Ali you know partnering up partnering up and joining with the Equinix to offer direct access to cloud services across Asia and North America. Let's get a bit more on this collaboration. It's first on Bloomberg from Equinix CEO Steve Smith who joins us now from Turkey. Steve thank you very much indeed for joining us this morning. Well first of all tell us what Equinix actually does and how Aldean fits into this Sure Thanks for having me this morning. We are a company that's in its 16th year headquartered in Silicon Valley that has one hundred and five Internet data centers and the biggest markets in the world 33 cities around the world and 15 countries. And we are actually becoming the home to much of the interconnected cloud computing model that's taking place around the world today for Asian European and American cloud providers and alien is one company which wants to of course expand and wants to use the equipment you have correct yes. Well Ali Yunis is one of the largest providers certainly that's pushing their services West. And we have been enabling a lot of the American and European companies. Now we're seeing many of the Eastern companies the Chinese companies like Tencent like China cash like Ali Baba with her Ali Yoon cloud organization to put access. Notes our cloud nodes all over the world so that customers can take advantage of their services . So this will help enable Chinese companies that are coming west . This will also enable American European companies that are trying to do business in China. And we can help them connect to networks connect to other cloud providers and connect to each other in these data centers that we have all over the world well absolutely. The thing is I company which is as big as Ali Baba. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be building their own data centers Well it's a great question and many of these large companies do build their own data centers typically they do that risk. They do that on behalf of running their their back office to their core applications that run the company. Then they use companies like Equinix when they distribute their their access nodes to their network nodes around the world where they don't have to deploy capital and many of these markets where companies like X have data center capacity already there. And so we are partners to some of the largest companies in the world helping them anytime they want to distribute Internet infrastructure to enable their customers their employees or support their revenue in those markets Steve which are the markets which are proving to be most popular view . Well as I said we are in 33 of the biggest markets in the world today. It varies by region. Certainly in Asia the China market is very important to us. The Tokyo market is very important Singapore is a very fast growing market. Hong Kong is also you shift to Europe is the big markets of Paris London Amsterdam Frankfurt Germany and then in the U.S. it's what we refer to as the big NFL Tier 1 markets New York L.A. Chicago Dallas Silicon Valley. Markets like that and then we're also in Brazil and in Canada. So we're in the biggest markets where the largest cable landing stations that underpin the Internet are located and then we are normally very close to them so we can enable any kind of traffic audio video we can clear all kinds of traffic for for electronic trading etc.. So we do all kinds of things in these centers just with the reports today of course of Chinese hackers being accused of trying to get into the information of federal employees. With that in mind you know what it's cyber security guarantees can you actually offer with partnerships like this and what you actually do another great question this model is really set up as a co-located so companies co-located there. Their server infrastructure their Internet infrastructure we provide all the physical security all the applications security and food for the type of workloads the application workloads. They move around the world. They're responsible for themselves so we enable multiple different types of security offerings that our customers do on their behalf. We are the environment where they where they make that happen. We mostly provide the environment the physical security and so the virtual security and the specific application security are provided by the customers themselves Steve great having you on the program. Thank you so much Steve Smith then the chief executive of Equinix are joining us now from .
