DALLAS, TX – November 12, 2019 – Stream Data Centers, an industry leader in providing premium data center solutions, announces today that it is welcoming Chad Rodriguez as the company’s new Vice President of Network and Cloud. With over 17 years of experience in the telecommunications industry, Chad will directly shape the future of Stream and how the company works to diversify its connectivity options to meet the growing bandwidth and local access needs of its customers.
“The data center space in the US market has certainly matured with enterprises seeking not only pure colocation options, but also scalable, diverse solutions for connecting to other networks and service providers, particularly the public clouds,” says Chad Rodriguez, Vice President of Network and Cloud. “Our goal at Stream is twofold. First, we want to hone our relationships with Tier I providers by providing them with more customized solution sets as they look to establish on ramps as close as possible to their enterprise end users. Second, we can then blend this result with Stream’s deep-seated real estate expertise to further develop our sites as increasingly important connectivity hubs, bringing robust and redundant services to our customers. I am excited to be a part of the Stream team and look forward to supporting the company on our roadmap into the global digital future.”
“We are excited to welcome Chad to Stream. He has a proven track record of elevating traditional carrier and network relations to new heights by partnering with the digital age community. Our customers expect a wide variety of network and cloud enablement solutions and Chad is the perfect leader to help us achieve success in this initiative,” says Michael Lahoud, Chief Operating Officer at Stream Data Centers.
