Peak 10 Data Center Solutions

What Peak 10 Data Center Solutions does

Peak 10 Data Center Solutions was founded in 2002 in Charlotte, North Carolina as an independent data center operator. In 2017, Peak 10 executed a $1.675 billion merger with ViaWest and was rebranded as Flexential, consolidating into a national-scale hybrid IT infrastructure provider. The company now operates 40+ company-owned data centers across 18 US markets spanning West, Central, Northeast, and Southeast regions, with a footprint exceeding 3 million square feet and a 100 Gbps network backbone.

The core product is the proprietary FlexAnywhere Platform, which integrates colocation (standard and high-density), cloud (public, private, and hybrid), interconnection to hundreds of carriers and hyperscale cloud providers, data protection/disaster recovery, and managed and professional services. High-density colocation with liquid cooling and NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center certification is a specific capability targeting AI, machine learning, and high-performance compute workloads. Supporting platforms include the Flexential Xperience Portal (FXP) for customer self-service and a Partner Portal for channel enablement.

The business model is predominantly subscription/recurring, anchored in multi-year enterprise colocation and managed services contracts priced via quote-based, scalable deployments from single rack to multi-megawatt configurations. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for large organizations, an inside sales motion for mid-market accounts, and a channel partner program (TSDs, resellers, MSPs, brokers). Customer mix spans AI/HPC, healthcare, financial services, automotive, and software verticals, with named logos including CoreWeave, Applied Digital, DigitalOcean, AutoNation, First Financial Bank, and Atrium Health Floyd. The company is privately held under strategic ownership.
