The global data centre and IT infrastructure landscape has changed radically over the past 10 years , and Oper8 Global has changed with it . Oper8 Global is the result of shifting customer demand in the face of an evolving data centre market , and since its foundation in 2012 , has developed a unique value proposition , range of capabilities , and attitude towards its partner ecosystem that are driving its rapid global expansion .
“ Oper8 Global ' s core go-to-market model centres on helping organisations operate their IT assets ,” explains Mike Andrea , co-founder and CEO of Oper8 Global . “ We don ' t mind if those assets are fully online in the public cloud , in a hybrid cloud model , a private cloud model , or fully on-prem ; it ' s about helping the customer right-size their needs , rather than have them be dictated to by whatever trend is hottest in the market at that moment .”
I sat down with Andrea to explore the genesis of Oper8 Global and dig down into the unique value proposition and core competencies propelling the Brisbanefounded data centre services firm towards a truly globalised platform with cutting edge offerings . “ We ' re looking at 200 % growth in revenue over the next 12 months . We ' re looking at hiring substantially over that time , and we see ourselves bringing some great new products into the market as well ,” adds businesschief . asia 69
