The Data Center Frontier Show podcast tells the story of the data center industry and its future. Our podcast is hosted by Rich Miller, editor of Data Center Frontier, who is your guide to the ongoing digital transformation.

Our topic today is the space-cloud connection. We’ll be talking with Doug Mohney, who writes about the intersection of space and the data center industry here at Data Center Frontier, as well as at Space IT  Bridge, a site Doug founded to the convergence of the space and IT sectors.

DCF Podcast Episode 10: Data Centers in Space

In our conversation today, Doug and I discuss how the satellite industry has evolved, some of the use cases that you’ll see between data centers and satellites, and how the largest cloud computing  players seek to extend the cloud beyond the atmosphere. Here’s our interview.
