Intelligent IT Infrastructure services provider Internap Network Services has acquired Voxel Holdings, a provider of scalable hosting and cloud services for the enterprise.
The acquisition enhances Internap’s flexible IT Infrastructure platform with the addition of Voxel’s dedicated hosting and cloud products.
By adding Voxel’s service locations in Amsterdam and Singapore to Internap’s existing service locations, the combined company will offer a global platform of colocation, managed hosting, dedicated hosting and cloud services.
In addition, Voxel’s automation technologies and expertise will be leveraged to enhance the existing Internap product set and the Voxel’s offerings provide a level of automation and self-service that will be available immediately to Internap’s customer base.
Voxel also extends Internap’s addressable market, enabling the company to serve early- to mid-stage IT Infrastructure customers seeking dedicated hosting services
Internap president and chief executive officer Eric Cooney said as IT Infrastructure outsourcing advances, enterprises increasingly seek service providers to support myriad applications and workloads throughout their entire IT lifecycle.
"This acquisition of Voxel increases Internap’s market share and growth rate, accelerates our product roadmap and creates an unmatched competitive position as an IT Infrastructure services provider," Cooney.
Voxel president and chief executive officer Raul K. Martynek said Voxel is excited to be joining Internap, a company that shares Voxel’s commitment to developing innovative IT Infrastructure offerings to drive the next generation of Internet and cloud applications.
"The combination of Internap’s broad market presence and robust, high-performance IT Infrastructure platform with our expertise in automated hosting and cloud services will deliver a powerful option for a broad range of enterprise customers," said Martynek.
