Can Internet Outages Be An Opportunity for Integrators? Episode 83 of AV+

Episode #
Featured Image

Just this past summer, there were a number of major internet outages that affected almost everyone that uses the internet.

A Google Cloud outage occurred on June 2 which knocked service for most on the U.S. east coast, affecting third-party sites like Discord, Snap and Vimeo, as well as Google’s Gmail and Nest.

On July 2, Google was hit by another outage as a result of physical damage to a fiber cable. The same day, Cloudflare was hit by an outage caused by a faulty code push.

Mehdi Daoudi joins the podcast to discuss why these internet outages are occurring so much more frequently, and how they affect customers of the companies that have outages.

On Episode 83 of AV+…

  • We pass things off to our friends at the My TechDecisions podcast, where host Jonathan Blackwood interviews Mehdi Daoudi, CEO and co-founder of Catchpoint, on this re-run of AV+ episode 70

The Commercial Integrator Podcast

The phrase ‘pro AV’ doesn’t do justice to all of the integration crowd, so we at Commercial Integrator wanted to create a podcast that speaks to all of those areas (and more!) under the umbrella of commercial tech integration.

The host, web editor Adam Forziati, has a background in radio and is looking forward to providing listeners with an entertaining, informative audio forum for all topics affecting the industry.

Podcast Release Schedule

We plan to release a shorter, single-topic episode once every week or two on Fridays (just like this episode). But at the end of each month, we’ll also drop a longer, in-depth episode of the AV podcast with features like Editor’s Desk, CI Monthly News Spotlight, CI’s Project of the Month, and more.

We hope you’ll share your thoughts on Twitter using the hashtag #AVPlusPod !

AV+ Podcast: CTI on Its Acquisition of Vistacom

CTI acquiring Vistacom — news that broke Feb. 13 — is arguably the biggest pro AV merger and acquisition news in months. That's why Commercial Integrator brought together John Laughlin, CEO and president of CTI, as well as Angela Nolan, formerly the CEO of Vistacom, to give AV+ the inside scoop. Here, they touch on how the deal came together and, more importantly, why each company chose the other. In this candid discussion, Laughlin and Nolan go into detail on the timeline for the acquisition, why this was the right time for Vistacom to become part of a larger organization, how the move affects existing Vistacom team members, what it means for the future of the command-and-control segment, and how existing Vistacom customers will benefit from leveraging CTI's infrastructure.
