⏳ Back in 2018, we had a crazy idea and together with Ondrej Bereš we established MegaBIT Services . I’ve always dreamed of being an entrepreneur, craving the independence of being my own boss 😉 . But no one warned me about the less glamorous side of building a company: lack of sleep 🥱 , unbalanced work-life dynamics, constant uncertainty, and the reality that no one really knows what tomorrow brings. 😨 Despite the challenges, I wouldn’t change a thing. Every setback gave us a new perspective and led to growth. Through self-reflection and continuous learning, we turned our failures into some of the best learning experiences we could ask for. 💡 🥁 Today, we’re closer to our vision of building an international company, one that helps small and medium-sized businesses worldwide on their digital transformation journeys. 🌍 It’s an ambitious goal, no doubt! Recently, we took another big step by establishing a subsidiary in the Czech Republic—a move that brings us even closer. As my favorite actor Denzel Washington says, "Dreams without goals are just dreams and ultimately they fuel disappointments. On the road to achieving your dreams, you must apply discipline, but more importantly, consistency. Because without commitment, you will never start, but without consistency, you will never finish." Here’s to the journey, resilience, and dreams worth chasing. #BusinessJourney #DigitalTransformation #BusinessDevelopment #MegaBITServices #InternationalGrowth

This is just amazing! ESpanix has a new POP, hosted at the Barcelona Cable Landing Station. The expansion of ESpanix outside the metro area of Madrid has been in the air for quite some time now, and it took a Cable Landing Station to make it... well, land. 😅 I expect existing ESpanix members from Barcelona to connect there as well. They can keep their existing ports in Madrid for increased redundancy and capacity or drop them to cut costs. Either cases are positive for them. 😁 I'm curious to see how the networks will use their Barcelona ports: will they peer with other local networks only? Will they prefer to peer with Madrid only? Or both? ESpanix traffic matrix will grow anyways. Now, the big question: who's next? Will ESpanix open more POPs and where? Stay tuned for more!
