CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jan. 21, 2025 — Flexential, a leading provider of secure and flexible data center and hybrid cloud solutions, has been recognized on the 2025 Cloud 100 list in the cloud infrastructure category by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company.  

CRN's Cloud 100 list honors leading cloud companies across five categories: infrastructure, monitoring and management, storage, software, and security. The list spotlights technology suppliers for their innovation in cloud-based technology development and their commitment to channel partners, and it helps organizations find the technology vendors that are best positioned to support their cloud products and services. 

"The Cloud 100 recognition validates our strategy of delivering cloud solutions," said Ryan Mallory, Chief Operating Officer at Flexential. "By combining our data center investments with enhanced FlexAnywhere® platform capabilities, we're giving partners unprecedented advantages in the hybrid cloud and AI markets.”  

Flexential earned a place on the Cloud 100 list following marked growth and expansion in 2024. Its scalable, reliable, and high-performance cloud solutions are supported by 325 megawatts (MW) of built and under-development capacity positioning Flexential to support growing enterprise demands for seamless hybrid cloud environments, enhanced cloud connectivity, and infrastructure capable of supporting AI workloads. By providing scalable and customizable cloud solutions alongside seamless connectivity to major public cloud providers, Flexential empowers channel partners to accelerate their go-to-market strategies and drive new revenue streams.  

This year, the company secured an investment from Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners (MSIP), and has received continued support from GI Partners, to fuel its ongoing growth strategy and enhance its market presence through its national FlexAnywhere® platform. It also announced Pinnacle Partner status in the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program for North America. In addition to Flexential's Pinnacle Partner status, Flexential offers a broad portfolio of cloud-based solutions including single tenant hosted private cloud, multi-tenant cloud, cloud-based disaster-recovery-as-a-services (DRAAS) and Professional Services focused on Cloud optimization and security.  

CRN also spotlighted Flexential as a Cloud 100 company in 2023 and 2024. The 2025 Cloud 100 list will be featured in the February issue of CRN magazine.
