Profile
- Business model
- The company says it was founded on the idea that colocating equipment at a secure, reliable data center should not be difficult or unreasonably expensive. It positions itself against Northern Virginia providers that require customers to commit to more power than they need. It offers colocation from full locking cabinets to secure cages, short-term colocation, staging colocation and disaster recovery colocation under which customers pay for power only when it is used. It is a carrier neutral data center with access to multiple tier one network providers.
- Disaster recovery and connectivity
- Flex Data Center offers Disaster Recovery Colocation options that allow customers to pay for power only when it is used, which it says results in significant cost savings over other data centers. It also serves short-term colocation and staging colocation requirements. As a carrier neutral data center, it provides access to multiple tier one network providers that have a presence at its facility, and its partner networks can provide access to hundreds of other networks at nearby Northern Virginia facilities.
