As the leading provider of cloud-based AI solutions, Hive knows how critical it is to have the right data center provider. So when Dmitriy Karpman, Hive’s CTO and Co-Founder, was looking for a niche solution for their data center needs, he turned to the Bridgepointe team.
Their existing data center provider, Digital Realty, initially connected Dmitriy and his team with Bridgepointe to assist in identifying the right connectivity providers. He quickly realized that Bridgepointe could also help in finding suitable colocation options.
“We needed help with the research and vetting of potential suppliers, and after speaking to our Strategist, we were confident this would help us expedite the entire process and get the best possible deal,” explained Karpman.
Streamlining Hive’s Supplier Selection
There are countless considerations when choosing a data center provider, and for the Hive team, working with Bridgepointe enabled them to streamline the entire process.
While Karpman felt confident with the Bridgepointe team in finding and vetting solutions, he wasn’t expecting how much the team’s extensive knowledge of the data center market and vast supplier relationships would pay off.
“The Bridgepointe team introduced us to providers we’d never heard of and enabled us to find the right data center and connectivity partners in different markets. Every step of the way, Bridgepointe coordinated the process and ensured we got exactly what we needed.”
Today, Hive works with Bridgepointe suppliers Digital Realty, Evoque, Lumen and Zayo.
Hive Saves Precious Time and Money with Each Data Center Expansion
Right out of the gate, Bridgepointe saved the Hive team considerable time and energy.
“Our Bridgepointe Strategist opened doors for us quickly. Instead of making a cold request and then figuring out what each supplier could do, we had a pre-vetted list and warm introductions,” shared Karpman. “We could just talk to the top two or three suppliers and didn’t have to run an entire research and vetting process. To date, we’ve done 15 projects with Bridgepointe.”
By working closely with Bridgepointe, the Hive team has saved at least 12 hours with each new data center expansion. Having completed 15 projects, a minimum of 180 hours was saved by relying on Bridgepointe.
“By leaving it to the experts, we aren’t wasting precious time contacting suppliers, reviewing pricing, and more. We trust Bridgepointe to bring us the best data center and connectivity solutions for our needs.”
Hive has also saved money with each successive data center expansion.
“Bridgepointe’s relationships mean we get preferred pricing, equating to thousands of dollars saved monthly. They’ve advised on pricing and helped negotiate each deal to our advantage. Between the time and money saved, there’s absolutely no reason why anyone should try to DIY these tech deals. Bridgepointe handles the details, so you don’t have to.”
