Flexential consistently evaluates
areas for improvement in its environments,
particularly as the needs and
expectations of the customer continuously
evolve. “We actively monitor how
our customers are consuming power,
the scale at which they’re consuming
network resources, and whether there
is customer interest in different
network technologies.”
Downie adds that Flexential is
equipped with the expertise to make
the right call when it comes to such
investments and in the personalization
of its service offering. “We’re firm
believers that the cloud is not the right
home for all workloads, and helping our
customers appreciate where workloads
should reside is really important. As IT
environments become more complex,
our customers need help making the
right choices. The challenge for
operators is being prepared to have
that conversation with customers.”
Flexential is certainly prepared,
empowered by Downie’s team-oriented
and strategic leadership, and it is clear
that such preparation in each facet of
its operations will continue to grow.
