CoinGeek Weekly Livestream: Edgevana CEO Mark Thiele Digs Deep Into Blockchain And Its Value

The latest CoinGeek Weekly Livestream puts the spotlight on Edgevana, a company that helps high-growth blockchain platforms overcome the most difficult challenge – uncompromising scalability. CEO and co-founders Mark Thiele and Kurt Wuckert Jr. digs deep into what the company does and how it helps the fastest blockchain in the world, Solana.

What is Edgevana

Edgevana’s first goal at the highest level is to obscure consumers’ access to global infrastructure. As Mark explains, “If you buy infrastructure, it can take months just to get into one data center. Imagine trying to extend an actual solution across multiple data centers in different or distributed geographies, we have tried to solve that. Edgevana. “

Edgevana works with both sides of the customer equation to help blockchain companies distribute their preferred infrastructure in a decentralized manner, while offering a white glove distribution and management strategy. The company benefits consumers by implementing a customer-focused delivery of hardware and solutions, which provides efficient labor productivity and profitability results.

Edgevana also focuses on celebrating the diversity of locations, but keeping them under one umbrella of leadership.

As Mark explains, “It’s easier for you as a buyer to target dozens or hundreds of locations, but treat it from an overhead and from a management standpoint as if you were buying from one.” By doing so, Edgevana can accelerate hardware distribution and time to value. As evidence, Mark reveals that they have “distributed 32 websites in 22 countries in five months.”

How Edgevana helps Solana

Mark says that Solana and its overall needs matched the foundation that Edgevana was built from an original Web 2.0-oriented standpoint.

“It was almost picture-perfect for what a distributed architecture for a blockchain company can have as infrastructure,” he said.

Solana took Edgevana on board to participate in one of its programs that focuses on improving speed and cost while building a widely distributed environment that can help avoid the possibility of a crash. For him, the latter requirement was the real challenge.

“The table effort that other people struggled with was this ability to make a widely distributed environment that had a wide range of ASN numbers for network access, multiple data center providers, so that not a single network of support or management tools could cause the environment to crash.” , he states. “That image in general was really what helped us win the business.”

Blockchain regulation

In this episode of CoinGeek Weekly Livestream, Kurt and Mark as industry experts talked about the blockchain industry and where it is headed. A recurring theme in their discussion is the controversial issue of regulation.

Mark expressed the desire for blockchain to succeed, adding that he sees the value of technology. He was keen to point out that a major disadvantage of success is among industry leaders and participants who focus too much on currency prices and the blockchain’s unregulated capacity. He raised a good point by talking about opportunities for the blockchain’s potential regulation, and comparing it to the early days of the internet.

«The opportunity to solve it [problems] in an easy, consistent way, actually has the ability to get us to the Internet that we originally wanted, ”Mark noted.

In contrast, Mark points out the unique properties blockchain provides to the world: solutions to global issues such as human sovereignty, government data sovereignty and long-term data protection.

Overall, Mark sees an opportunity to meet conflicting needs. One is to solve for the assurances that a financial network needs crucial for blockchain participation in global finance. And the other is to settle for speed, authentication and keep the middlemen out.

“There are two possibilities not only to solve from an insurance, a comfort point of view, but to solve this cross-chain problem and this problem of localization or residence of data that needs to be reduced,” he said.

“I really see the blockchain and the future of smart contracts as an opportunity to open up a future market for transactions that will make the first ten or fifteen years of the Internet fade in comparison,” Mark concluded.
