vXchnge, a carrier-neutral colocation services provider, today announced it has acquired eight data centers from Sungard Availability Services (Sungard AS).
“We see tremendous opportunities directly tied to this transaction,” said Keith Olsen, CEO of vXchnge. “It accelerates our strategic presence in ‘edge’ based marketplaces for companies to grow their businesses. These marketplaces operate as deployment points for our customers’ network-enabled applications and cloud services that require safe, secure and resilient data centers.”
vXchnge will integrate the applicable Sungard AS business operations, staff and customer base, and will work with Sungard AS to ensure a smooth transition period for customers, it said.
“A key point to this transaction is that we retain the data center operation teams in each location,” Olsen said. “These operation teams have been delighting customers for years, and these markets, data centers and employees add to our existing footprint, which increases our operating scale and market share.”
