Oct. 24, 2024
The latest deal enables the connectivity company to enhance its buying and selling ecosystem.

Connectbase is acquiring Network Capacity Solutions (NCS), a data center and network inventory application provider.

The company said this acquisition marks a pivotal step in Connectbase's mission to build Location Truth and digitally transform how connectivity and digital infrastructure get bought and sold.

This acquisition will expand the Connected World offerings and provide greater depth and precision to the global connectivity market for providers leveraging the platform.

So what does Connectbase get out of the deal?

Network Capacity Solutions brings its network inventory management capabilities to Connectbase, enabling enhanced inventory options for service providers, data centers, and digital infrastructure service buyers in the ecosystem. Data center operators will be able to create branded connectivity marketplaces, showcasing connectivity and colocation services, and with the added benefit of NCS, those assets can be based on real-time availability, accelerating transaction success.

Connectbase sees the opportunity to have a broader portfolio of solutions to address the connectivity ecosystem with tools for managing and monetizing data center and network infrastructure assets. These tools will help data centers create branded marketplaces and support the broader ecosystem, empowering providers with the resources they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive landscape.

"By bringing Network Capacity Solutions into Connectbase, we are enabling data centers and service providers to realize the full monetization potential of their infrastructure and service capabilities," said Ben Edmond, CEO and founder of Connectbase.
