Network Atlas is preparing to be “the world's first visual representation of the global network and data centre infrastructure”. Network Atlas is seeking to give visibility on the operational status of networks and the new board is set to advise on future strategy and growth.
The company has been beta-testing its “near real-time map of the world's submarine and terrestrial networks for several months now, collecting feedback from early adopters and audiences at multiple major tech conferences”.
"The mission of Network Atlas is to provide users with up-to-date visualisations of the operational status of the world's data centre and network infrastructure," said Mehmet Akcin, founder of Network Atlas.
"Our Global Advisory Board will work hand-in-hand with our team to ensure that our product is properly developed and able to be utilised to its full potential."
Confirmed members of the board of advisors are:
Anne-Marie Eklund Löwinder, Swedish Internet Foundation
Brynn Fowler, Women's Tech Forum
Carlos Martinez, LACNIC
Chris Street, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres
Dave Crowley, Microsoft
Greg Mahlknecht, Always Active Technologies
Jason Black, Ph.D., Uber Technologies
James Daquino, ICM Partners
Mehdi Daoudi, Catchpoint
Naaz Bax, Seaborn Networks
Nigel Bayliff, Aquacomms
Zach Smith, Packet
Akcin added: "We knew Network Atlas' diverse applications would make it a disruptive force in the marketplace, so to see that starting to happen is really exciting. Network Atlas can be a way to disseminate information about the status of networks quickly, so in that sense, it functions as a news outlet.
