What Phoenix NAP does

Phoenix NAP, LLC is a privately held global IT infrastructure provider headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with a wholly-owned European subsidiary (Phoenix NAP EU B.V.) based in Hoofddorp, Netherlands, and a network footprint spanning 15+ data centers and network nodes across 5 continents backed by a 9+ Tbps backbone. The company operates a platform-plus-modules portfolio anchored by four core products: (1) Bare Metal Cloud, an API-driven dedicated server platform offering 50+ pre-configured instances deployable in minutes via portal or API; (2) Dedicated Servers, single-tenant Intel Xeon 6, 5th Gen Xeon Scalable, Core i9, and HPE Ampere Altra machines targeted at database, virtualization, HPC, gaming, and streaming workloads; (3) Colocation Services at Phoenix and Amsterdam facilities; and (4) Enterprise-Grade Network with Tier 1 carrier access and DDoS protection. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription/recurring monthly billing across Bare Metal Cloud, colocation, dedicated servers, Hardware-as-a-Service, managed backup, and network services, complemented by usage-based billing on object storage and bandwidth, distributed through direct enterprise field sales, self-service portals (Bare Metal Cloud, Admin Hub), and a channel partner program. In March 2026, Phoenix NAP entered a definitive agreement to divest its Phoenix colocation facility and interconnection platform to RadiusDC, retaining approximately 80% of global business and sharpening strategic focus on Bare Metal Cloud and Network Services. Customer segments span DevOps and technology companies, regulated enterprises in healthcare and financial services, gaming/media, and SaaS providers, supported by SOC 2 Type 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework compliance certifications.

• Cyxtera / DataBank: Data center colocation and interconnection provider with bare metal and managed hosting services across 60+ US/EU facilities. Direct peer for colocation footprint and bare metal adjacency (pre- and post-Phoenix NAP divestiture dynamics).
• OVHcloud: Global dedicated server, bare metal cloud, and hybrid cloud provider with strong European presence. Closest direct peer to Phoenix NAP given overlapping product portfolio (bare metal, hosted private cloud, storage, backup) and alternative-cloud positioning vs. hyperscalers.
• Leaseweb: Global hosting provider offering dedicated servers, public/private cloud, colocation, and CDN across 25+ data centers in Europe, US and APAC. Direct comparable on dedicated server portfolio, global footprint and hybrid cloud positioning.
• Vultr: Cloud computing platform offering on-demand bare metal, compute, storage and managed databases across 25+ global locations. Directly comparable API-first IaaS model and developer-focused go-to-market.
• Hetzner: Bare metal dedicated server and cloud hosting provider with data centers in Germany, Finland, the US and Singapore. Highly comparable to Phoenix NAP on dedicated/bare metal positioning, cost-efficiency, and developer-friendly APIs.

Emerging players

• CoreWeave: GPU-focused cloud provider built on bare metal infrastructure for AI/ML workloads. Compares to Phoenix NAP on bare metal + GPU server line but is more specialized and concentrated in AI/HPC use cases.

Broad incumbents

• Equinix Metal: Bare metal as a service from Equinix, leveraging the world's largest colocation footprint (240+ IBX data centers). Direct product overlap with Phoenix NAP's Bare Metal Cloud but with vastly larger interconnection ecosystem.
