Flexential review & pricing
Our verdict
A service-heavy regional colo platform: Flexential wins mid-market deals on hands-on service, flexibility and bundled managed DR/backup rather than global ecosystem scale. Buyers wanting the biggest interconnection marketplaces should compare Equinix; buyers wanting a partner that answers the phone shortlist Flexential.
Overview
Flexential runs 40+ data centers concentrated in the eastern/central US (Charlotte, Cincinnati, Denver and more), delivering colocation, interconnection (Flexential Fabric), managed services (DRaaS, backup) and professional services.
Best for
