Exciting industry acquisition news dropped this week! LightEdge, a leading provider of colocation, cloud, and managed service solutions, and NFINIT, an infrastructure solutions provider based in San Diego, have joined forces – bringing the combined company to 11 data center locations nationwide.
This acquisition is the second since LightEdge became GI Partners’ platform company for their global infrastructure fund in September. Now with NFINIT’s Southern California and Phoenix facilities in the fold, this acquisition brings LightEdge to 11 data centers across the U.S.
Founded in 1989, NFINIT specializes in data center, cloud, security, connectivity, and managed services to deliver intelligent outcomes for a variety of clients in the Southwest.
“At NFINIT, we have worked to build a customer base that relies on world-class IT services around the clock,” NFINIT CEO Phil Kenney said. “We are excited to come together with LightEdge to continue providing the quality service we have over the years. The combination of LightEdge and NFINIT brings a customer and employee focused company, driving intelligent outcomes for our clients and their businesses.”
LightEdge CEO Jim Masterson said his organization is extremely pleased to join forces with the very talented and quality NFINIT team. “Thanks to NFINIT’s reputation as the incumbent and largest colocation operator in the San Diego market, this strategic acquisition positions LightEdge for continued expansion to further grow our North American presence.”
As separate entities, LightEdge and NFINIT have shared a similar passion for providing clients the most secure enterprise cloud and colocation services the industry has to offer while exhibiting strong company cultures and maintaining close ties to their customers, suppliers, and communities.
“The NFINIT team and their capabilities are an outstanding addition to our continued leadership in the ever-evolving IT ecosystem,” said Masterson.
LightEdge is in the middle of a 5-year growth plan that should at least triple the size of the company from a revenue and employee base perspective.
