LightEdge, a leading provider of secure cloud and colocation for nearly three decades, announced its acquisition of Connectria yesterday. This deal adds six data center locations to LightEdge’s existing footprint of 12 highly interconnected facilities across eight U.S. markets.

Connectria, a provider of multi-cloud infrastructure and managed hosting solutions serving mission-critical workloads for more than 400 customers, brings extensive experience in IBM, AWS, and Microsoft Azure public cloud hosting. This partnership complements LightEdge’s strengths in delivering colocation, enterprise cloud, connectivity, and enhanced network security to customers. 

“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.

“Both LightEdge and Connectria have established themselves as successful, fast-growing innovators that put security first within their product sets.
