"We are confident that their impressive track record of extraordinary customer service and innovative technological solutions will continue at RagingWire as we extend our presence in the multi-megawatt, hyperscale data center market."

Joe Goldsmith will be responsible for all aspects of RagingWires go-to-market strategy and execution including: sales, marketing, product management, channels, and sales operations. Prior to joining RagingWire, Goldsmith was the Chief Revenue Officer for Vantage Data Centers, applying his deep expertise in complex contract and lease negotiations to lead Vantage to become an industry leader in wholesale data centers.

"With highly customizable configurations of data center space and power, carrier-neutral and cloud-neutral network services, world-class amenities, and dedicated security and support staff, RagingWire has a unique opportunity to earn the trust and business of the world's largest data center customers," Goldsmith said. "I am eager to join the RagingWire team as we continue to increase our revenue by taking great care of clients across all industries."

Steve Manos will be responsible for leading RagingWire's engagement with hyperscale cloud companies. Previously Manos was Chief Business Officer at Server Farm Realty, LLC, a data center developer, and at Canara Inc., a predictive analytics company.
