Kings Distributed Systems – 2021 BSI

Kings Distributed Systems (“Kings”) is a Canadian corporation with the mission to make computing more affordable, secure, and interoperable. Its core offering is a software platform that makes running modern applications cheap and easy through a global ‘marketplace’ for computing resources. One of Kings’ most important target markets is the academic and higher education space, which is grappling with a low supply of the advanced computing resources it needs for many institutions to be competitive. Although Kings has made significant inroads with major Canadian and international institutions, it must build upon its strategy for outreach and engagement with these. In order to meet its goal of providing advanced compute resources for dozens of universities worldwide in 2021, Kings is bringing aboard a business strategy intern with experience in both the research and IT side of the higher education market. The company looks forward to this project to both grow its international footprint, while ensuring researchers at post-secondary institutes around the world get access to the infrastructure they need.
