“ If a company comes to us and says it would like one terabyte of capacity in the LATAM region , EdgeUno is probably the only company that can deliver this in less than a week ”
MEHMET AKCIN CEO AND FOUNDER , EDGEUNO
“ In the case of Mexico , the ISPs are not all interconnected with each other . There are not enough networks , so we are working out a solution to these issues .” To rectify this issue , Akcin says that the company is going to buy space in a data centre and build its own rack solutions with a focus just on edge computing .
EdgeUno is a “ people-first ” company that takes care of its customers and staff . Talking about the workplace culture , Akcin said : “ We have people who have had to go the extra mile during COVID - working late nights and on the weekends . We ’ ve even had some people who couldn ’ t work due to the pandemic , and they had to cover each other . “ Building that culture is tough and you need to really care about your people to do so .” When looking to attract talent , EdgeUno looks to its engineering background for inspiration . “ We are an engineering-focused company with a 70 to 80 % focus on the industry . We are hiring people every day , and whilst that percentage changes regularly around three-quarters of our company will be predominantly centred around engineers .
Another way in which the company hires staff is through having dedicated programmes within the education sector .
