Flexential is a U.S. colocation and hybrid IT provider whose FlexAnywhere® platform bundles colocation, cloud, interconnection, data protection, and managed services out of a national footprint that, as of 2025-2026, spans more than 40 data centers across 18 U.S. markets on a 100Gbps+ private network backbone. The company is headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, and was formed in 2018 when Peak 10 (which had acquired ViaWest in 2017 for roughly $1.675 billion) rebranded as a single combined company. Flexential’s differentiator is its build-to-suit, high-density colocation focus for enterprise and, increasingly, AI/GPU workloads: it markets itself as an NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center provider, counts AI-cloud company CoreWeave among its high-density customers, and says all of its new data center builds are pre-piped for liquid cooling to support GPU-dense deployments. Its portfolio is concentrated in secondary/growth markets such as Denver, Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, and the Portland-area Hillsboro campus (rather than the primary hubs dominated by hyperscale wholesale operators), and it continues to expand capacity in markets like Atlanta and Denver to meet rising enterprise and AI demand.
Flexential operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:

Common Questions
Does Flexential offer infrastructure specifically for AI and GPU workloads?
Yes. Flexential positions itself as an NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center provider, lists CoreWeave as a customer using its high-density capacity for AI infrastructure, and states that all of its new data center builds are pre-piped for liquid cooling (including direct-to-chip cooling and rear-door heat exchangers supporting rack densities of 40kW and beyond) to serve AI, ML, and HPC deployments.
How many data centers does Flexential operate and where?
As of 2025-2026, Flexential's own materials describe more than 40 data centers across 18 U.S. markets, including Denver, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Portland/Hillsboro, Salt Lake City, Cincinnati, Dallas, Louisville, Minneapolis, Nashville, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta, Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Raleigh, and Tampa.
How was Flexential formed?
Flexential traces back to two regional data center companies, ViaWest (founded in Denver in 1999) and Peak 10 (founded in Charlotte in 2000); Peak 10 acquired ViaWest from Shaw Communications in August 2017 for about $1.675 billion, and the combined company rebranded as Flexential in January 2018.
Is Flexential a cloud provider or a colocation company?
Both, in a hybrid sense: its core, most-documented business is colocation (renting rack, cage, and wholesale space in its own facilities), but its FlexAnywhere® platform also includes private, public, and hybrid cloud offerings alongside colocation, interconnection, and data protection services.
