Flexential to Support DigitalOcean's GPU Infrastructure Expansion with High-Density Deployment  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — March 18, 2025 — Flexential, a leading provider of secure and flexible data center solutions, has reached an agreement with DigitalOcean, the simplest scalable cloud for growing tech companies, for a high-density deployment at Flexential’s Atlanta-Douglasville data center.

The agreement includes a phased deployment approach at Flexential's Atlanta-Douglasville 1 data center, which will enable additional DigitalOcean GPU Droplets, including GPU Droplets across two connected data halls powered by NVIDIA's H200 GPUs and AMD Instinct GPU accelerators. This deployment will significantly increase DigitalOcean’s capacity to provide customers scalable computing power on demand, ideal for AI/ML training and inference, deep learning, high-performance computing (HPC), data analytics, and graphics/video rendering tasks.

"Flexential's Douglasville facility addresses our need to bolster GPU infrastructure quickly as our AI/ML business continues to grow," said Adam Knapp, Vice President, Engineering at DigitalOcean. "This expansion extends our footprint to support the specific power and cooling requirements of high-density GPU environments and positions us to meet our customers' expanding AI computing needs."

The location meets DigitalOcean's specifications for power density, service-level agreements (SLAs), and commissioning timelines, and the deployment will strengthen DigitalOcean's Eastern U.S. presence. It includes round-the-clock security, dual-factor authentication access, biometric scanners, and monitored security cameras.

"Through this partnership with DigitalOcean, Flexential's Atlanta-Douglasville data center plays a pivotal role in delivering high-density computing environments that meet the precise requirements of AI-focused cloud providers,” said Patrick Doherty, Chief Revenue Officer at Flexential. "Through our FlexAnywhere® platform that enables seamless connectivity and scalability across our national network, this deployment provides the infrastructure foundation for DigitalOcean to scale its GPU Droplets offering, and continue to support developers and businesses building next-generation AI applications."
