Federal workers have gone weeks without a paycheck, and for the first time in its history, SNAP payments will be delayed or unpaid starting in November. Millions of families and children are at risk of losing their benefits and facing hunger going into this holiday season. Please join us in raising money as The Bouchedid Foundation who will MATCH YOUR DONATIONS DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR before providing crucial grants to local and regional food banks that are focused on battling child and family hunger! Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support. Link to Fundraiser: https://lnkd.in/emg3c3x3

Dany Bouchedid shared thisExciting things happening at COLOTRAQ! #AI #GenAI #PrivateLLM #CustomAI #DataCenters #Colocation #CloudComputing #PrivateCloud #HybridCloud #TeamCOLOTRAQ Channel Partners Events, Channel Futures, ChannelVision Magazine Lou Peccoralo, Lauren Cleffi, Peter Radizeski, Thomas Gorey, Jay Rubin, Nick Unger, Ron Zirkin, Hilary Gadda, Nancy Ridge, Greg Plum, Neil Ende, Peter Davis, Scott LevyDany Bouchedid shared thisCOLOTRAQ, a 26 year old Data Center/Cloud Services brokerage firm, is launching an AI Practice group, headed by our own CEO, Dany Bouchedid, who recently completed a credited course from UC Berkeley/Haas on AI Business Strategies and Applications. The COLOTRAQ AI Practice Group will enable our partners to better serve their clients as businesses embrace AI. We will focus on developing an actionable and comprehensive AI Strategy that will truly transform the client’s existing business processes and workflows through Custom AI Development and Private LLM implementation. COLOTRAQ agrees that the AI opportunity is large for the channel. Businesses of all sizes will be able to leverage AI, but not all will be able to get the desired outcomes from a mass market product. Many businesses could benefit from Agentic AI, GenAI, or Private LLM applications that would add real value to their businesses. COLOTRAQ has partnered with several AI firms and experts in order to hold your client’s hand from start to finish. COLOTRAQ’s goal is for partners to be able to achieve measurable outcomes for their clients. COLOTRAQ is poised to meet the AI needs of the business community and the partners that serve them. COLOTRAQ has been THE brokerage firm for Data Centers/Cloud for 25 years. Now it is set to be THE brokerage firm for AI for Business. #AI #GenAI #PrivateLLM #CustomAI #DataCenters #Colocation #CloudComputing #PrivateCloud #HybridCloud #TeamCOLOTRAQ Dany Bouchedid, Lou Peccoralo, Lauren Cleffi, Peter Radizeski, Thomas Gorey, Jay Rubin, Nick Unger, Ron Zirkin, Hilary Gadda, Nancy Ridge, Greg Plum, Neil Ende, Peter Davis, Scott Levy Channel Partners Events, Channel Futures, ChannelVision Magazine

Dany Bouchedid reposted thisDany Bouchedid reposted thisWe are pleased to announce that on the heels of our CEO, Dany Bouchedid, successfully completing a credited course from UC Berkeley/Haas on AI Business Strategies and Applications, we are officially launching the COLOTRAQ AI Practice Group. Our focus will be to help our channel partners and their clients cut through the overwhelming ecosystem of canned and off-the-shelf AI products and focus on developing an actionable and comprehensive AI Strategy that will truly transform the client’s existing business processes and workflows through Custom AI Development and Private LLM implementation. We have partnered with all the necessary AI experts and developers so that we can hold your client’s hand from start to finish. Best of all is that the end result will be a custom Agentic AI solution that your client will OWN versus rent the intellectual property for thus improving the value of their business beyond the obvious ROI derived from the automation and augmentation. #AI #GenAI #PrivateLLM #CustomAI #DataCenters #Colocation #CloudComputing #PrivateCloud #HybridCloud #TeamCOLOTRAQ Dany Bouchedid, Lou Peccoralo, Lauren Cleffi, Peter Radizeski, Thomas Gorey, Jay Rubin, Nick Unger, Ron Zirkin, Hilary Gadda, Nancy Ridge, Greg Plum, Neil Ende, Peter Davis, Scott Levy Channel Partners Events, Channel Futures, ChannelVision Magazine

Wow you were 10 minutes from my house and I didn’t even know.

Brandon Peccoralo yes that’s certainly one way that will be very successful. But much like the data center industry, it won’t be the be all end all. There will be room for companies who want to own their own IP and control it and host it within their own data center footprint, some that will pay per seat as as service, and even hybrid solutions where they can integrate the off the shelf AI agents with their custom private LLMs/SLMs to work in harmony. Boundless possibilities at this point.

Brandon Peccoralo yes this is agent to agent. MCP addresses how AI agents communicate with external resources, data sources and systems. Put it all together and you have quite an impressive Agentic AI Crew!

Dany Bouchedid liked thisDany Bouchedid liked thisI’ve been going to data center and technology trade shows for over 30 years… and this week marked my 20th Data Center World Honestly, it’s hard to wrap my head around this industry when I think about where we started versus where we are today. What stood out to me this year was exactly what this event has become known for—bringing together operators, developers, engineers, and innovators from across the ecosystem to tackle the biggest challenges we face. I was genuinely impressed by the level of collaboration, the pace of innovation, and the collective drive to figure out how we scale responsibly while truly endearing ourselves to the communities that host us. Every conversation I had pointed in the same direction: people are committed to building a positive, sustainable future and shaping what is clearly the next industrial revolution. And let’s be honest—it’s always a great show when you can mix in a baseball game, a little ping pong, some cherry blossoms, and time with people you genuinely care about. Big thank you to everyone at Informa and the Data Center World team for putting on such a great event—and for being a constant throughout most of my career. I am grateful for all of it.

Dany Bouchedid liked thisDany Bouchedid liked thisVegas Baby! Next week, Telecommunications Channel Partners from across the globe descend on Las Vegas for the annual conference with their new sports coats and soft-soled wingtips. Vendors will cross swords over how great their new AI offerings are; it will be the buzz of the show. Many will go home more confused about it than they were before. Some vendors will profess the old standard: better, faster, stronger, deeper, than the competitor next to them. Some will even expound on their brilliant new Portal! I am going to throw out a few softballs that some might consider chattering about with vendors and partners in Vegas 1. Customer Service 2. Customer Satisfaction 3. Measuring Performance 4. Giving a damn about the client as much as revenue 5. A proactive partner approach rather than a reactive one 6. Accountability for delivery post-sale 7. What happens when it breaks??????? Although I won’t be there, I encourage those going to ask questions that make people's foreheads wrinkle. If you can make a wrinkle, you touched on an emotion of some sort. The questions I propose are straightforward, but if they aren't addressed soon, many on that show floor this year may not still be in business by next year.

Dany Bouchedid liked thisDany Bouchedid liked thisI want to thank Bob Trojan and Julius Caesar Parreñas for inviting me to share my thoughts on the policy implications of AI trends during a tremendous panel discussion with Asad Ramzanali, Michael Akinwumi, and Makoto Okubo on March 18th in Washington DC, part of two days of insightful conversation organized by ABAC (APEC Business Advisory Council) to gather information and recommendations for the Asia Pacific Financial Forum (APFF). My comments were largely focused on the myriad policy questions that derive from the race to build dominant foundational AI models and the economic implications of AI for individuals, companies, and economies. I am grateful for the opportunity to lean from so many contributors and engage in these critical conversations.

BuzzTheory’s founder, Khali Henderson, is one of the channel’s best. But she’s also an amazing human, of which I am reminded every time I get to spend some time with her. Great to see you and thanks for spending some time with the Bridgepointe Technologies team at our happy hour. See you in a few weeks!
