Chapter 24: Drake Systems
Ethan scrolled through website after website, searching for server farms that matched his needs.
OmniTech needed infrastructure, and unless he wanted to rely on third-party services and sacrifice control, he had to secure his own physical server space and fast.
There weren’t many options in Atlanta for a full-on purchase that fit his needs and timeline, but there was one name that kept popping up during his research:
Drake Systems.
It was a privately-owned data center tucked away in a light industrial zone near the outskirts of the city.
Not too big or flashy, but the specs were just what he needed and most importantly, it was owner-operated.
Camila Drake.
The only photo of her, that he could find online, was one where she stood behind a podium, her arms folded and her hazel eyes locked into the crowd she addressed.
Ethan skimmed the brief bio attached to the article: Camila Drake – MIT dropout, founder of Drake Systems, known for custom-built private data infrastructure, heavy encryption standards, and an aversion to venture capital.
"MIT, huh..." Ethan muttered, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "I guess we have something in common."
He leaned back, staring at the screen. Despite the solid specs and strong reputation among niche tech forums, he didn’t recall ever hearing of Drake Systems in his original timeline.
