About Flexential

Flexential provides tailored hybrid IT solutions, including colocation, cloud, connectivity, data protection, and managed services through its FlexAnywhere® platform. The company's history began with the founding of ViaWest in 1999 and Peak 10 in 2000. In 2017, Peak 10 acquired ViaWest for $1.67 billion, and the combined entity rebranded as Flexential in January 2018 to reflect its new national footprint and a unified value proposition centered on flexibility and customer focus. The company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and is led by CEO Chris Downie.

The company operates over 40 data centers in 19 U.S. markets, managing more than three million square feet of data center space. Flexential serves a diverse client base, including enterprises in healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing, by offering solutions for high-density computing and complex IT infrastructure requirements. Its business model focuses on delivering customized and scalable infrastructure to support clients' digital transformations, including AI and machine learning initiatives. The FlexAnywhere® platform provides a unified interface for customers to manage their infrastructure, connect to major cloud providers like AWS and Google Cloud, and scale resources on demand. Revenue is generated through these comprehensive IT infrastructure services. The company is privately held and backed by private equity firms GI Partners and Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners.
