Secure cloud and colocation services provider LightEdge entered into an agreement to buy Connectria, a multi-cloud infrastructure and managed hosting solutions provider that specifically serves mission-critical workloads. With this integration, Connectria will add six data center locations to LightEdge’s existing footprint of 12 interconnected facilities across eight U.S. markets. The transaction is LightEdge’s fourth since the GI Partners’ investment in 2021.
“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,” said LightEdge CEO, Jim Masterson. “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’s deep experience in IBM, AWS and Microsoft Azure public cloud hosting complements LightEdge’s strengths in delivering colocation, enterprise cloud, connectivity and enhanced network security.
“Both LightEdge and Connectria have established themselves as successful, fast-growing innovators that put security first within their product sets,” said Connectria CEO, Amar Patel. “Both companies are also known for their strong company cultures, employee engagement and empowerment and close ties to customers and suppliers.”
The transaction is expected to close before the end of April.
