Bringing space-based data storage to life

For Lonestar, space isn’t the final frontier; it’s the next logical step for secure data. As the company works to launch the first commercial data center on the moon, they’ve turned to Flexential to ensure their Earth-based operations are just as resilient, connected, and future-ready.

Ground support for a lunar mission

Mission-ready colocation: Built for scale and security

As Lonestar redefines where data lives, Flexential provides the secure, high-performance colocation infrastructure needed to keep its ground-based operations moving. After touring multiple Flexential data centers, Lonestar selected our Tampa facility as mission control. It offers a trusted, scalable environment that supports everything from rapid data transfers to seamless system management. Our team moved quickly to reserve space, align on requirements, and implement a solution built to support their ambitious growth.

“We are building a new industry together with a trusted partner in   Flexential. At Lonestar, we know space, and Flexential are the experts when it comes to terrestrial data center solutions and security.”

Resilient connectivity: Linking space to Earth

The Flexential nationwide network plays a key role in Lonestar’s operations, federating data from space back to Earth quickly and securely. This ensures customers can access mission-critical information without delay, regardless of where it’s stored.

Shared values: Innovation and sustainability

Lonestar’s data center missions are powered by solar energy and designed for net-zero emissions. That made Flexential a natural fit. Our commitment to sustainable infrastructure, energy-efficient systems, and environmental stewardship aligns with Lonestar’s vision for a cleaner, smarter data future.

A true partnership: Focused on what’s next

With Flexential managing critical ground operations, Lonestar can focus on what they do best—pioneering the future of lunar and space-based digital infrastructure. The trust, communication, and shared purpose between both teams helped turn a bold idea into an operational reality.

“When it came to selecting a U.S. partner, we wanted a firm that had deep expertise in the space industry and was recognized as an innovator in their field. Flexential is not just a data center company; they are a team of experts in security, backup and disaster recovery.”

—Chris Stott, Founder, Chair and CEO, Lonestar
