OUR STORY
Flexential got its start in Tampa in 2002 as Peak 10, a colocation and managed services provider that began as a single data center housing and managing mission-critical IT infrastructure. As its customers’ IT environments expanded over the years too. Flexential’s service footprint. In 2015, Flexential built a second, enterprise-class data center in Tampa; a 65,000-square-foot North Tampa facility built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. By 2017, Peak 10 acquired Denver-based colocation provider ViaWest and formed Flexential a year later.
