Flexential, a provider of data centre colocation, cloud and connectivity solutions, announced the launch of Flexential Cloud Fabric – a robust, on-demand connectivity platform that allows customers to quickly provision and deploy private cloud connectivity to leading public cloud service providers.
The latest cloud connectivity solution in Flexential’s FlexAnywhere service offering, Cloud Fabric reduces reliance on the public internet for cloud connectivity by delivering a solution through a self-programmable portal where customers can manage their connections to public clouds in real-time.

“Managing multiple public cloud environments is a challenge. To remain competitive, organisations must ensure their data and workloads are secure, end-user expectations are met, and costs remain in check,” said Ryan Mallory, COO of Colocation Services, Flexential. “Flexential’s Cloud Fabric solution addresses these requirements by reducing the complexity of adding, changing or removing connections to the cloud through the use of a singular, self-service portal that provides a connection to any public cloud provider within hours.”
According to Security Magazine, multi-cloud adoption grew by 70 per cent year-over-year in 2020. With Cloud Fabric, Flexential customers such as Gogo—the world’s largest provider of broadband connectivity services for the business aviation market—can scale bandwidth and reach additional markets by seamlessly integrating their data centre deployments with leading public cloud providers.
“Flexential has been our data centre and interconnection partner for years, so when our growing networking requirements necessitated the addition of a public cloud solution the decision to do so via Cloud Fabric was easy,” said Mike Schnepf, Vice President of Network and Systems Engineering, Gogo. “Flexential’s Cloud Fabric saved us valuable time by streamlining the process of implementing cloud connectivity. What typically took us months to connect via standard telco services we accomplished in days with Flexential’s Cloud Fabric solution.”
