CHARLOTTE, N.C. – May 7, 2019 – Flexential, a leading provider of network-enabled colocation and hybrid IT solutions, today announced it is launching a larger and more robust Flexential Professional Services portfolio. The new services, including IT infrastructure and cybersecurity consulting, are designed to help customers further reduce the complexity associated with hyperscale cloud connectivity, multi-cloud and hybrid IT deployments.

“Time to market is critical for customers, whether to address competitive pressure or respond to vulnerabilities. We’ve built an objective practice with more than 50 unique industry certifications to ensure our customers can accelerate their transformation journey,” said Jason Carolan, Flexential Chief Innovation Officer. “The investment in Flexential Professional Services allows us to provide comprehensive solutions that span multiple technical footprints.”

Building on the division’s 20-year history of delivering infrastructure, IT resiliency and cybersecurity consulting services, Flexential’s expanded professional services provide agnostic full design, implementation and configuration support for both the customer’s Flexential footprint and their interconnected, hyperscale cloud platforms including: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure.
