Flexential, a prominent provider of secure and flexible data centre solutions, has received a strategic investment from Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners (MSIP), with ongoing support from GI Partners.
This partnership is aimed at accelerating Flexential’s expansion and enhancing its capacity to meet the burgeoning demand for digital infrastructure.
The investment from MSIP, alongside continued support from GI Partners, promises to significantly boost Flexential’s growth efforts. This financial backing will play a crucial role in enhancing the company’s market presence and further investing in its national FlexAnywhere® platform, which spans over 40 highly connected data centres across the United States and possesses more than 325MW of built and under-development capacity.
Flexential is a key player in supporting enterprise digital transformation, cloud adoption, and the needs associated with hyperscale and AI workloads.
Christopher Ortega, Head of Americas at MSIP, highlighted the company’s robust infrastructure and commitment to innovation as pivotal factors in its readiness to leverage market opportunities.
Ortega said, “We are excited to partner with Flexential at this critical moment in the company’s evolution.
“We believe Flexential’s robust next-generation infrastructure, commitment to innovation, and proven leadership in the industry make it well-positioned to capitalize on market opportunities. We look forward to supporting the company’s continued growth and success in the years to come.”
The transaction positions MSIP as a co-control investor in Flexential, providing them with a substantial amount of primary capital alongside GI Partners to fund continued growth and expansion efforts. Travis
Chris Downie, CEO of Flexential, expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership, stating that it would allow the company to “double-down on active development” to meet the robust market demand.
He said, “The new partnership with Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners, combined with the strong foundation laid with GI Partners, represents a tremendous opportunity for Flexential to further accelerate our growth trajectory and sets the stage for future strategic opportunities.
“As we continue to invest in expanding our infrastructure and delivering innovative solutions to our customers, this additional investment will enable us to build on our recent successes and further strengthen our position as a leader in the data center and digital infrastructure industry.”
