Data Center Frontier editors Matt Vincent and David Chernicoff recently caught up with Cyxtera's Field CTO Holland Barry on the occasion of Cyxtera and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announcing a new collaboration to help simplify customers' hybrid IT strategies. Cyxtera is now leveraging HPE's GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform to support an enterprise bare metal platform. The podcast discussion extends to how Cyxtera is presently focused on supporting AI workloads in data centers and collaborating with HPE to offer a multi-hybrid cloud strategy. Barry revealed during the podcast that Cyxtera already supports 70 kilowatt racks in 18 markets, and is discussing expanded deployments with its customers and partners. Barry added that many present customers are considering moving to private cloud platforms, due to rising public cloud costs and unexpected fees. Barry said, "My function here at Cyxtera deals largely with the technologies that we both implement internally and also that we deploy within the data centers themselves to make sure that experience of being in the data center colo facility is seamless, feels as much like cloud as it can in terms of the provisioning of services, how we bill for things, things like that." He added, "Generally speaking, I'm a technologist at heart and I just want to make sure that what we're building is what's useful for the market to consume." Here's a list of key points discussed on the podcast: 2:01 - Barry talks about Cyxtera's vision for supporting AI workloads in data centers, including cooling technologies, network speed, power designs, and accommodating adjacencies with edge and public cloud platforms. 4:18 - DCF's Chernicoff asks if Cyxtera will offer 70 kilowatt racks a la Digital Realty. Barry explains that Cyxtera already supports this capacity in 18 of its markets, and is in active discussions with customers and partners over an expansion. 5:40 - Barry discusses how Cyxtera's collaboration with HPE addresses rising cloud costs and furthers a multi-hybrid cloud strategy, including Cyxtera's new enterprise bare metal platform and options for opex financing models. 7:53 - Use cases for customers moving to the HPE GreenLake solution via Cyxtera are discussed, including repatriating cloud workloads and tech refreshes. 15:03 - Asked about the convergence of cloud and hybrid IT strategies, Barry says that Cyxtera views themselves as part of such transformations and says the provider is up front with its customers about what workloads are best suited for their platform. The trend of recalibrating workloads from the public cloud to data centers for better cost management is also discussed. 18:22 - Barry expounds on how egress fees and other unexpected costs can lead to a "death by 1000 cuts" situation for public cloud users, driving them to consider private cloud options 19:57 - Barry observes that many customers are realizing the costs of the public cloud and considering moving to a private cloud solution, and emphasizes the importance of Cyxtera making this transition as easy as possible through technology choices and partnerships. 21:57 - Barry comments on the new Cyxtera partnership with HPE in the context of providing choices and solutions to make moving customer workloads to their venue as easy as possible, with the goal of building a multi-hybrid cloud reality in the future. Background on Cyxtera Cyxtera Technologies operates a global network of 60 data centers, supports 2,300 customers, and had $746 million in revenue in 2022. The company was formed in 2016 when Medina Capital, led by former Terremark CEO Manuel Medina, teamed with investors including BC Partners to buy the data center portfolio of CenturyLink for $2.15 billion. It was at that time one of several data center players seeking to build a colocation business atop a portfolio of data centers spun off by telecom companies. This April, Data Center Frontier's Rich Miller reported that Cyxtera Technologies was reportedly fielding interest from suitors as it sought to reduce its debt load. Data Center Dynamics at that time shared that Cyxtera was exploring options for a sale or capital raise, citing a Bloomberg story that said private equity suitors were studying the company's operations. Shares of Cyxtera had fallen sharply in value during that timeframe and were trading at 31 cents a share at one point, giving the company a market capitalization of about $55 million, a far cry from the $3.4 billion valuation placed on the company when it went public in 2021 through a merger with Starboard Value Acquisition Corp. In May, as shares of Cyxtera fell to new lows, DCF reported lenders for the company said they would provide the colocation provider with $50 million in new funding, allowing it more time to arrange a sale or line up new capital. In June, the colocation provider filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. After working for months to find a buyer or reduce its debt load, the company decided it would now restructure through a pre-packaged bankruptcy. The Chapter 11 filing was part of an arrangement with its lenders, who retained the right to gain a controlling equity interest in the company under terms of a restructuring agreement. At the time of the bankruptcy filing, some of the company's lenders committed to provide $200 million in financing to enable Cyxtera to continue operating as it restructures. "Cyxtera expects to use the Chapter 11 process to strengthen the company's financial position, meaningfully deleverage its balance sheet and facilitate the business's long-term success," the company said in a press release." More details have been made available on Cyxtera's restructuring web site. Cyxtera subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Germany and Singapore are not included in the bankruptcy case, which was filed in New Jersey. Dgtl Infra's Mary Zhang has done significant recent reporting over the summer on the story of Cyxtera's existing lease rejections in wake of the bankruptcy filing, as well as charting the company's timeline extension for its bankruptcy-led sale process into late September. In his June reporting on Cyxtera's bankruptcy filing, DCF's Miller noted that: "Since Cyxtera leases many of its data centers, Cyxtera's Chapter 11 filing creates a potential challenge for its landlords. Cyxtera leases space in 15 facilities operated by Digital Realty, representing $61.5 million in annual revenue, or about 1.7 percent of Digital's annual revenue. It also leases space in 6 data centers owned by Digital Core REIT, a Singapore-based public company sponsored by Digital Realty. That includes two sites in Los Angeles, three in Silicon Valley and one in Frankfurt. The $16.3 million in annual rent from Cyxtera represents 22.3 percent of revenue for Digital Core REIT. A bankruptcy filing provides debtors with the opportunity to reject leases to reduce their real estate costs. In its press release, Cyxtera noted that it "is continuing to evaluate its data center footprint, consistent with its commitment to optimizing operations." An August report from Bloomberg stated that Cyxtera had drawn interest for its assets from multiple parties, including Brookfield Infrastructure Partners and Digital Realty Trust Inc., according to people with knowledge of the situation. as reported by Bloomberg's Reshmi Basu. In a recent email to this editor regarding Cyxtera, DCF's Miller opined further: "The key questions for Cyxtera are really all about the bankruptcy outcome, and where that stands. The future could be very different for Cyxtera depending who the winning bidder is and whether they would reject leases. For example, Digital Realty is reported to be one of the bidders. That makes sense, as Cyxtera leases 12 facilities from them and DLR has a vested interest in protecting that income. But if Digital wins the auction, do they keep leasing space in Cyxtera's many non-Digital sites? Or do they reject those leases and consolidate? The auction winner will guide future strategy for Cyxtera. And it could be very different if it's a private equity firm vs. a strategic buyer like Digital Realty." On August 7, concurrent with its business update for Q2, Cyxtera announced that it had reached a key milestone in its Chapter 11 process by filing a proposed plan of reorganization with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, and said it had reached an agreement with its lenders to optimize the company's capital structure and reduce its pre-filing funded debt by more than $950 million. In its Q2 update, the company said it had delivered solid growth in total revenue, recurring revenue, core revenue and transaction adjusted EBITDA. Cyxtera's August 7 press release added that negotiations around the company's sale alternative remained active. According to a press release, the proposed reorganization plan is supported by certain of Cyxtera's lenders who collectively hold over two-thirds of the company's outstanding first lien debt, and are parties to Cyxtera's previously announced restructuring support agreement. The company said the proposed plan provides flexibility for the company to pursue a balance sheet recapitalization or a sale of the business. Cyxtera noted that if the plan is approved and a recapitalization is consummated, the lenders have committed to support a holistic restructuring of the company's balance sheet. Such a restructuring would eliminate more than $950 million of Cyxtera's pre-filing debt and provide the company with enhanced financial flexibility to invest in its business for the benefit of its customers and partners. For Q2 of 2023, Cyxtera said its total revenue increased by $14.9 million, or 8.1% YoY, to $199.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. On a constant currency basis, the company's total revenue increased by $15.1 million, or 8.2% YoY. Recurring revenue increased by $15.8 million, or 9.1% YoY, to $190.0 million in the second quarter. Cyxtera added that its core revenue increased by $17.4 million, or 10.3% YoY, to $186.2 million in the second quarter. Finally, the company said its transaction Adjusted EBITDA increased by $6.4 million, or 10.7%, to $66.4 million and increased by $6.5 million, or 10.9% YoY, on a constant currency basis, in the second quarter. Carlos Sagasta, Cyxtera's Chief Financial Officer, said, “We are pleased to have delivered another quarter of solid growth across the business, underscoring the strength of our offering and the value we create for our global customers. We expect to continue building on this momentum as we successfully complete the process to strengthen our financial position for the long term.” The press release added that in either a recapitalization or sale scenario, the company remains on track to emerge from the court-supervised process no later than the fall of this year. The company said it had received multiple qualified bids to date. Final bids from interested parties in the sale process were originally due on August 18, a deadline which came and went. An auction slated for August 30 was also cancelled. Nelson Fonseca, Cyxtera's Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We continue to make important progress in our court-supervised process, while demonstrating solid performance across our business. Filing this plan with the support of our lenders provides us a path to emerge in a significantly stronger financial position.” Here are links to some recent DCF articles on Cyxtera: Colocation Provider Cyxtera Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Cyxtera Gets $50 Million Funding, More Time to Seek a Buyer As Stock Price Slumps, Cyxtera Reportedly Mulling Capital Raise or Sale Cyxtera Goes Public as Starboard SPAC Acquisition Closes Cyxtera to Go Public Through $3.4 Billion Merger With Starboard SPAC

This is an episode of HawkTalk, datacenterHawk's series of candid one on one conversations with executives and leaders in the data center industry. If you enjoyed this episode, you can check them all out on our blog. If you'd like to know when we release future episodes, please subscribe. We recently hosted Russell Cozart, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Strategy at Cyxtera as part of our HawkTalk series. Russell started in the data center industry 15 years ago with Terramark and has spent time at Dell, VMWare, and prior to joining Cyxtera, managed GE's cloud hosting portfolio. We covered topics like what it looked like to launch Cyxtera three years ago, the trends that are informing their go to market strategy now, and his read on the challenges enterprise IT leaders are having today. You can check out the full interview in the video above, or if you're short on time, skim some of our top takeaways below. Focus On Focus After acquiring Century Link's data center assets, the Cyxtera team focused on how they could make and deliver data center products and services better - and faster. Russell summarized it as the team asking themselves: how do we deliver the core value that we want to deliver with the combination of innovation, stability, and resiliency that customers had come to know with the Century Link data center asset? Part of that required a renewed focus. For example, the data center team spun their cyber security offerings off into separate companies so that they could focus more on delivering a world class experience to their enterprise customers. COVID-19 Has Accelerated, Not Changed, IT Mandates Particularly with COVID-19, the mandates placed upon CIOs and IT teams have remained the same - just accelerated. Everyone is asking how they can get to Point B faster. These leaders are looking for partners that can help them as they start to charge faster down the path of digital transformation. That trend of transformation is likely to hockey stick, especially around people using a hybrid combination of public cloud and colocation. IT Challenges Remain The Same While IT mandates remain the same, so do the challenges of the enterprise data center user. CapEx budgets are shrinking, many are supporting aging legacy infrastructure, and the drive to a hybrid IT strategy has left many with skills gaps and complex solutions. These have historically been challenges in the enterprise IT space, but now with COVID-19 the pressure is heightened. At the same time, leaders are trying to get what they need without sacrificing core tenants of delivering on their own IT strategy, like staying flexible and agile while being fast to market. This flexible and agile environment is top of mind for a provider like Cyxtera as they think about bringing products to market. How To Build Products That Resonate With Customers Maintaining a solid roadmap that leads to successful products across the globe takes work. Cyxtera has a presence across 29 markets globally and has invested heavily in developing an intimate understanding of their customers and their challenges. This enables them to then map out an architecture that will assist their customers in their journeys and ultimately ingest it into Cyxtera's roadmap to ensure they bring valuable products to market. Looking Forward Looking forward, “the next 3-5 years are going to be game changing for the industry”, Russell says. Data center providers are on the precipice of major changes, driven primarily by the changes we're seeing in the enterprise. The next 3-5 years are going to be game changing for the industry. Russell Cozart Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Strategy at Cyxtera “[At Cyxtera, we're] excited to deliver the cutting edge and make sure that's something that resonates with customers. Their lives are changing and that's for us and the industry as a whole make sure we're there.”

Tina Gravel is the Senior Vice President of Channels and Alliances at Cyxtera Technologies, where she helps businesses migrate their mission-critical applications to The Cloud. She is an award-winning executive with more than 25 years of experience in the IT outsourcing, cloud, security and SaaS industries. Contact Tina: Web: TinaGravel.com Twitter: @tgravel Contact Avrohom: Web: https://asktheceo.biz Facebook: AvrohomGottheil Twitter: @avrohomg Instagram: @avrohomg INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS: [01:09] Cloud is becoming more prevalent in the Enterprise space, with companies migrating more of their mission-critical applications to The Cloud. One of the more recent buzzwords permeating today’s vernacular is Hybrid Cloud. What does Hybrid Cloud really mean? [02:47] What are the considerations businesses need to have when thinking about moving their mission-critical applications to The Cloud? [03:53] A critical requirement for mission-critical applications is uptime. After all, you can’t have a global bank just go offline during a stock trade! One of the inherent benefits of migrating to The Cloud is the Service Level Agreement for guaranteed uptime. Many providers use a term called five 9’s of reliability. IBM just launched the z15 mainframe platform which offers seven 9’s. What do all these 9’s mean, and why are they important to businesses? [05:24] The more 9’s you have, the more expensive it is! [05:24] With regards to Cloud migrations, you need to balance the service level you want, with what you can afford to pay for. [07:03] How does Cyxtera help businesses with their Cloud migrations? [10:44] It’s no question that Cloud is the way to go for Enterprises that are launching brand new mission-critical applications. However, in the real world, the playing field is not so cut and dry. Let’s say, for example, that one of your core business applications is a COBOL program, which resides on a server in a backroom closet and stores its data in a huge flat file. First of all, how do you even begin to “cloud-enable” this ancient application along with its archaic flat-file database? The second challenge is that for that last 50 years no one has had to worry about cybersecurity. The application is running on a server in a secure location, and no one has access to it. As soon as this crucial and sensitive application moves to the cloud, suddenly, you have a new problem to worry about! Is it even worth it? [13:33] What is Zero Trust? [15:57] When migrating to The Cloud, make sure to only provide access to people who absolutely need it. [17:49] How do people connect with you? [18:17] Do you have any parting words of wisdom to share with the audience?

Cybersecurity has become one of the most challenging aspects of modern-day business in a world constantly threatened by a wide variety of exploits. In this episode, AVANT's Ken Presti introduces you to Leo Taddeo, former FBI agent in charge of the bureau's New York cybersecurity operation and current chief information security officer at Cyxtera. Our interview covers how to get the most from your cybersecurity investments, and how to engage real-time response when attacks happen. Be sure to subscribe to the show!

In this DevOps Chat we speak with Kurt Glazemakers of Cyxtera, the makers of AppGate SDP. SDP stands for software defined perimeter and the Cyxtera security division has a new release out with some exciting new features. Have a listen to get the scoop.

Cloud computing was supposed to change everything about go-to-market strategies, and that included disrupting channel partners – and possibly making them obsolete. But it turns out that channel partners are as important as ever in helping vendors reach cloud customers. Surprisingly, many of the same incentives used in traditional channel programs are equally applicable in the cloud era. As Tina Gravel, senior vice president of channels and alliances at co-location vendor Cyxtera says, vendors are paying partners for access to customers, and traditional incentives like deal registration work well in this context. What works well, too, is co-selling, as many partners need help selling complex cloud services. All this adds up to vendors – both traditional and cloud – leaning on their standard incentive tools well into the cloud era.

Cyxtera President of Data Center Services Randy Rowland and I go topic by topic talking about the data center industry - and how Cyxtera is working to change the game.

This week I am excited to be talking to Dave Copps, founder and CEO of Brainspace Corporation. We are exploring the impact AI is having on your business and our society in episode #011 of Custom Made. Dave is a Dallas-based visionary leader in the local and international tech community and evangelist on the role technology will play in transforming the world. For the past 15 years, as a technologist, entrepreneur and CEO he has founded and launched three successful companies focused on machine learning and AI. Dave currently serves as founder and CEO of Brainspace Corporation, a global leader in Investigative Analytics and Cyber Security, which was acquired by Cyxtera in mid-2017. Brainspace is playing a lead role in the area of augmenting human intelligence using data visualization to connect people more intimately with AI and radically alter their ability to surface important patterns and insights in data. During our conversation, Dave and I cover a lot of ground around the topic of Artificial Intelligence and how it is changing our businesses and our society from Ai Winters, to government regulation, from how machines think, to multi-dimensional problem solving to humans co-evolving with technology. To get us all up to speed, there three types of Ai: - To start with there is ANI or Artificial Narrow Intelligence which is non-sentient machine intelligence, typically focused on a narrow task. Today, we are are working with this type of AI. - AGI or Artificial General Intelligence is the second type, which is a machine with the ability to apply intelligence to any problem, rather than a specific and predefined set of problems. Think of AGI as being “at least as smart as a typical human”. This type of AI does not exist yet, but as we push the boundaries of narrow AI, we are getting closer. - And finally, ASI or Artificial Super Intelligence which is an AI far surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human minds. Where AGI is hardly on the horizon, super intelligence is much more uncertain. A godlike AI seems like a huge leap, but many scientists caution that the moment we unlock AGI, the exponential power of AI could rocket from AGI to super intelligence. Many warn that this is something that needs to be approached carefully as we barrel down the path of ever more sophisticated AI. Dave also shares the story of Brainspace, his most recent AI company, that creates “brains” in a matter of hours to analyze millions of documents and conversations - whether that is looking within an organization or around a particular research topic. This brain then creates visualizations to allow users to interact with the data to answer their questions. Over the years, Dave's companies have placed machine learning and AI in thousands of organizations, including all major consultancies and intelligence agencies, around the globe.

Craig & Kevin didn't see their shadows, so they've emerged for another Channel Partners podcast. In this edition, the guys welcome Tina Gravel, channel chief at Cyxtera, the secure infrastructure provider, to discuss not only data centers and security, but also how her company's channel program is progressing just a few months after introducing it at Channel Partners Evolution. And in a new segment, "Personal Deep Dive," Craig and Kevin try to answer the age-old question, "Who let the dogs out?"
