Flexential Unveils Marketplace to Transform Enterprise Connectivity and Collaboration
In a significant move to revolutionize enterprise connectivity, Flexential, a prominent name in the realm of secure and adaptable data center solutions, has launched the Flexential Marketplace. This innovative platform is designed as a business-to-business hub that simplifies the discovery, connection, and access to services within a distributed hybrid IT environment. It aims to serve both colocated partners and enterprises, fostering a collaborative digital ecosystem that encourages seamless interaction across diverse industries.
The Flexential Marketplace operates through the comprehensive FlexAnywhere® platform, allowing cloud service providers and as-a-service vendors to create tailored profiles and establish both physical and virtual connections. This structured approach alleviates the common geographical constraints that often impede engagement, granting sellers a larger market presence to showcase their services to a vast array of potential partners. For buyers, the platform offers a streamlined avenue to identify, assess, and reach out to service providers that align with their specific operational needs.
"Flexential Marketplace enables our customers to easily find and connect to their partners with greater speed and visibility," remarked Ryan Mallory, President and COO of Flexential. The platform emphasizes the importance of linking intention with execution, equipping organizations with the necessary tools to extend and establish relationships with various partners through a single, user-friendly interface. As enterprise infrastructure becomes increasingly distributed and interdependent, the demand for efficient connection to cloud services and edge resources is on the rise. However, traditional provisioning practices are often slow and disjointed, complicating enterprise efforts to select providers and activate services effectively.
By offering an on-demand environment, the Flexential Marketplace aims to rectify these deficiencies, enhancing performance, reducing operational costs, and accelerating time to market while bypassing the labor-intensive processes tied to manual provisioning. The launch of this platform also reflects the shifting expectations among enterprises when it comes to interconnectivity. As colocation providers expand their role in facilitating service access, organizations expect platforms to ease connectivity concerns. The marketplace addresses these needs while enhancing user experience.
Accessing the Flexential Marketplace quite simple. Flexential's customers only need to log into the Flexential Xperience Portal (FXP), navigate to the "Marketplace" section in the top navigation bar, and select "View Marketplace". Once inside, users can create and customize their profiles or search for providers using filters like name, location, or specific service type. The platform’s guided workflow simplifies the connection process, encouraging strategic partnerships within a neutral carrier ecosystem.
The creation of the Flexential Marketplace marks yet another milestone in the expansion of the FlexAnywhere platform, integrating colocation, cloud services, data protection, and interconnection offerings. By introducing a digital layer for service discovery and activation, Flexential fortifies its infrastructure as a cornerstone for enterprise digital transformation.
This announcement comes on the heels of Flexential's recent advancements in interconnectivity options, including the introduction of Flexential Fabric, which has enhanced capabilities in the available interconnection mesh. Upcoming collaborations with industry leaders such as Lumen, AWS, and Wasabi Technologies further emphasize Flexential's commitment to addressing the evolving needs of today’s enterprises.
