Our take
Founded in 1996, LightEdge Solutions is a leader in public cloud and enterprise IT technology solutions, with a focus on private, public, hybrid and multicloud colocation. Its solutions help companies connect to the cloud at a faster pace and with less hassle. It has supported more than 1300 large organisations through 12 data centres in 8 US markets.
With its solid rooting in the industry and the experience to match, it’s no surprise that LightEdge’s offerings have grown to include a full suite of digitisation solutions. From IT infrastructure optimisation to bolstering cybersecurity, Lightedge benefits from catering to a wide range of enterprise needs.
Since its buyout by GI Partners in 2021, LightEdge has embarked on a series of acquisitions itself. With four companies bought since 2021, it has stepped up successfully into this new portfolio role - and these acquisitions should keep LightEdge stable and ripe for further growth for a long time to come.
