In addition, Flexential offers private cages, scalable packages and flexible pricing for enterprises looking to house their workloads and data sets in the company’s facilities. Industry certifications and, in certain markets, tax benefits are also available to wholesale customers.

“As our company looked to modernize its IT operations, we knew we would need a partner that would support us not just now, but in the future,” said Fritz DeBrine, vice president of IT at Neiman Marcus. “Flexential has done just that – arming us with colocation, cloud and disaster recovery solutions that allow us to grow and scale as a company – all while improving resiliency and ensuring complete redundancy. The fast speed to market, premium service and reduced costs that Flexential provides were key differentiators for us.”
