This week, Mike Foust left Digital Realty. Wow. It’s hard for me to picture Digital without Mike.  Over the years at Digital and its predecessor, Mike and I spent so much time together; I think that we both knew what the other was thinking. What an incredible run Mike has had. It’s got to be something like over 400% shareholder return since the IPO that we did back in late 2004.

Before I get into what they announced, I should answer why I’d be excited about a simple connector.
