Cyxtera Continues Global Expansion of Leading-Edge Enterprise Bare Metal Service

Cyxtera, a global leader in data center colocation and interconnection services, today announced the expanded availability of its Enterprise Bare Metal service to customers from its data center facilities in Denver and Toronto. Cyxtera Enterprise Bare Metal offers customers the security, control, and performance of dedicated colocation infrastructure in an on-demand, subscription-based model. Through Cyxtera’s digital exchange, the company delivers a combination of colocation, on-demand Enterprise Bare Metal, interconnectivity, on-ramps to public cloud, and a rich ecosystem of technology providers that enables customers to create and evolve their ideal future-proof hybrid IT infrastructure from a global platform.

Enabled by the company’s programmable, software-defined digital exchange, Cyxtera’s Enterprise Bare Metal offering helps companies seamlessly extend their existing colocation infrastructure to create extensible hybrid environments via leading providers of enterprise-grade infrastructure. Cyxtera’s offering is also well suited for companies looking to rapidly extend their digital infrastructure into a new market while avoiding large capital expenditures, lengthy implementation cycles, or the necessity to add to local staff. In addition, customers interested in accessing Cyxtera’s Enterprise Bare Metal offering in Denver will have the option of leveraging Cyxtera’s Federal digital exchange, which is certified as FedRAMP Ready at the High Impact Level.

“Carousel's mission and company-wide drive is to bring extreme technology value to Carousel customers—value that is measurable, meaningful, and highly transformative,” said Gerry McOmber, Director of IT, Carousel Infrastructure. “Leveraging Cyxtera’s on-demand infrastructure solutions provides us the speed and agility benefits of public cloud, but with the enterprise-level reliability and consistent customer experience we need to deliver mission-critical workloads to our customers. Cyxtera's solution saves us significant CAPEX dollars, and combining it with IP connect and secure cabinets, we have a powerful hybrid infrastructure platform."
