MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cyxtera, a global leader in data center colocation and interconnection services, today announced the expanded availability of its Enterprise Bare Metal service to customers from its data center facilities in Denver and Toronto. Cyxtera Enterprise Bare Metal offers customers the security, control, and performance of dedicated colocation infrastructure in an on-demand, subscription-based model. Through Cyxtera’s digital exchange, the company delivers a combination of colocation, on-demand Enterprise Bare Metal, interconnectivity, on-ramps to public cloud, and a rich ecosystem of technology providers that enables customers to create and evolve their ideal future-proof hybrid IT infrastructure from a global platform.
Enabled by the company’s programmable, software-defined digital exchange, Cyxtera’s Enterprise Bare Metal offering helps companies seamlessly extend their existing colocation infrastructure to create extensible hybrid environments via leading providers of enterprise-grade infrastructure.
