LightEdge announced on April 2 that it will acquire multi-cloud infrastructure and managed hosting solutions provider Connectria, with the deal expected to close by the end of the month. Connectria, which services workloads for more than 400 customers, will add six data center locations to LightEdge’s existing 12-facility footprint.
LightEdge CEO Jim Masterson said in a press release, “With this acquisition, LightEdge becomes one of the only secure and compliant infrastructure providers in the country offering both hybrid colocation and tailored multi-cloud solutions. The acquisition extends LightEdge’s colocation and private cloud offering into public cloud services while bringing together two incredibly talented and diverse teams and two highly complementary product suites, geographies, and customer bases. We expect this acquisition to further enhance our customer experience, and to that end, our top priority is to continue providing high-level service to our existing and new customers while seamlessly integrating the companies.”
Connectria CEO Amar Patel said in the press release, “Both LightEdge and Connectria have established themselves as successful, fast-growing innovators that put security first within their product sets. Both companies are also known for their strong company cultures, employee engagement and empowerment, and close ties to customers and suppliers.”
