Zach Hilliard always loved cars and started his career as a diesel mechanic. Today he’s senior director of site reliability engineering for Cyxtera Technologies, a Texas-based provider of data centers around the globe. He explains there’s an Uberization of data centers going on, where companies tap unused computing resources much like how Uber puts ride hailers into empty car seats.
