Colohouse to elevate cloud and bare metal offering with Hivelocity acquisition
Colohouse, a colocation, cloud, hosting, and network services sector, has announced the acquisition of bare metal hosting provider Hivelocity.
According to both companies, the pair will combine their offerings to focus on cloud and bare metal services to meet growing market demand. The acquisition aims to support Colohouse’s infrastructure and existing hosting services with Hivelocity’s bare metal servers, network automation, and virtual private cloud solutions.
Both companies will integrate their existing services and jointly launch a new private cloud offering in Q3 of 2024. The new offering is designed for enterprise virtualization environments to optimize for workloads with complex applications, architectures, scalability, and security requirements.
Colohouse and Hivelocity will continue to run as separate brands for the remainder of 2024, with plans to consolidate under the Hivelocity brand.
Speaking about the acquisition, Jeremy Pease, CEO of Colohouse, says: “Our acquisition of Hivelocity is a strategic move to enhance our capabilities and reinforce our commitment to delivering top-tier IT infrastructure services.
“Together, Colohouse and Hivelocity create a unique, next-generation provider that places the customer’s needs and success at the forefront, providing them with the connectivity and computing power required to deploy and manage modern applications and data.”
The combined company will aim to enable rapid deployment and scalability of private compute and connectivity resources across dozens of domestic and international locations, the company notes. This platform enables and integrates modern capabilities including developer tools, APIs, and SDN.
“Our mission at Hivelocity is to create a company with a singular focus on simplifying hosting with an exceptional customer experience,” says Mike Architetto, CEO of Hivelocity.
“We have continuously excelled at our mission, grown our customer base and kept up with their demands, which led us from a single rack of servers to operating 40+ world-class data centers on 6 continents. Combined with Colohouse, Hivelocity can accelerate its capabilities and continue its legacy of simplifying IT for its customers.”
The company mentions that the acquisition is founded on a shared commitment to focus on their customer’s needs and success.
