Flexential —
FlexAnywhere Hybrid IT Across 41 Data Centers

Flexential is built for mid-market and enterprise organizations that want a single hybrid-IT partner across colocation, cloud, connectivity, managed services, and security — particularly buyers operating in second- and third-tier US metros where Equinix and Digital Realty have thinner footprint or pricing skewed toward hyperscaler tenants. The strongest fits are healthcare systems, regional financial-services firms, multi-site retail and distribution operators, government contractors, and SaaS providers who need 41 data centers across 19 US markets under a single platform contract. The FlexAnywhere Platform is what unifies colocation, FlexAnywhere Cloud, FlexAnywhere Connect, and Managed Services into one operating model rather than four siloed contracts.

Equinix and Digital Realty are the dominant hyperscaler-grade colocation operators — they win where the customer is buying primarily for ecosystem density (cloud onramps, IX presence) at top-tier metro pricing. Flexential is positioned differently — 41 data centers across 19 markets including secondary metros (Charlotte, Denver, Portland, Indianapolis, Memphis, Nashville, Tampa, etc.) where the customer's user base, regulatory footprint, or DR strategy demands geographic distribution rather than pure ecosystem density. Flexential also bundles managed cloud (FlexAnywhere Cloud), managed services, and SD-WAN under one contract — Equinix and Digital Realty leave that to ecosystem partners. For mid-market buyers, that bundled operating model materially reduces vendor management overhead.

FlexAnywhere is Flexential's productized hybrid-IT platform — a unified delivery model spanning Colocation across 41 data centers, FlexAnywhere Cloud (managed private cloud and public cloud integrations into AWS, Azure, GCP), FlexAnywhere Connect (carrier-neutral connectivity, cloud onramps, and SD-WAN), Managed Services for the underlying infrastructure, Security and Compliance services, and Disaster Recovery as a Service. The unification matters because customers can move workloads between physical, private cloud, and hyperscaler tiers without changing vendors — and the management plane, billing, support contract, and SLA framework all stay consistent across the placement choice.

Flexential operates across a mature compliance posture spanning HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI DSS, SOC 1 / SOC 2, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP-authorized configurations in select facilities. For healthcare, financial services, and government buyers, this matters because the colocation, the managed cloud, and the managed services share the same auditor-defensible control surface. Customers receive evidence packages, control mappings, and audit-ready documentation rather than assembling compliance posture from raw data center attestations and separate cloud-vendor SOC reports. That productization is what differentiates Flexential from a customer doing the same work in-house at a tier-1 colo.

FlexAnywhere Connect is the carrier-neutral connectivity layer of the platform — direct cloud onramps into AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure from inside Flexential data centers, plus carrier-neutral access to dozens of underlying network providers, point-to-point Ethernet between Flexential facilities, and managed SD-WAN. For enterprises building hybrid architectures, this means the customer doesn't carry the connectivity contract separately — the cloud onramp, the inter-DC transport, and the SD-WAN overlay are part of the same Flexential contract that delivers the cabinet, the power, the managed cloud, and the managed services.

No. Your contract is signed directly with Flexential and their published pricing applies. In many cases Fibi can negotiate equal or better terms by sourcing competitive colocation and managed-cloud quotes from Equinix, Digital Realty, Cologix, CoreSite, Aptum, DataBank, Centersquare, and other hyperscale and regional operators in parallel — so you see how Flexential compares against the wider colocation and managed-cloud market rather than evaluating a single quote in isolation. Fibi's advisory work is funded by the providers at no additional cost to your business, so engaging Fibi adds the comparison, multi-vendor sourcing, and ongoing escalation layer without affecting your invoice or contract terms.
