LightEdge, a leading provider of colocation, cloud, and managed service solutions, has updated its entire cloud portfolio and is now offering the fifth generation of its private multi- and single-tenant cloud services. Not only has LightEdge improved its underlying cloud infrastructure, but the company also restructured its managed services offerings, allowing the team to better support customer cloud environments on top of LightEdge’s infrastructure.
“During a time when data center and cloud providers are choosing to go ‘infrastructure light,’ we’re proudly infrastructure heavy — meaning we’re deploying, maintaining, and heavily investing in our own infrastructure,” said Mike McHenry, VP of Product Architecture for LightEdge. “It’s capital- and time-intensive to do so, but it matters to our customers that we’re managing our infrastructure with an extremely high level of care and commitment.”
LightEdge has upgraded the following areas of its cloud portfolio:
- OS / Cloud Management: Managing or deploying applications or VMs within LightEdge’s infrastructure. Including tailored migrations and implementations, cloud monitoring, patching, and more.
- Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Management: Helping customers manage their cloud environments no matter where they’re hosted — with LightEdge, other data center and cloud providers, or in-house.
- Cloud Connectivity Suite: Unparalleled scale, redundancy, speed, and uptime powered by our private fiber backbone. Offering ultra low latency interconnection in local markets.
- Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Compliant hosted computing designed to scale with your business needs.
- Recovery Runbook: Helping customers build and manage disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) plans using LightEdge infrastructure. These plans are validated, tested, and co-managed to guarantee that your DR plans work.
- Bare Metal Cloud: Dedicated servers that provide full control, customization, and scale.
The company’s cloud portfolio — backed by latest generation Dell EMC VxRail, as well as VMware NSX and vSphere — is container-ready and supports next-gen workloads such as network functions virtualization (NFV) and Kubernetes-based containers. The team built its high-tech cloud architecture at a scale that allows LightEdge to deliver top-of-the-line solutions at economical prices. Depending on client needs, LightEdge deploys custom cloud solutions with the appropriate level of flexibility, scalability, and control.
