Flexential and Wasabi Technologies launch bilateral peering

The new interconnection capability enhances Flexential’s IP bandwidth services.

On June 25, Flexential announced that it is continuing to expand its FlexAnywhere® Platform, adding bilateral peering pathways to Wasabi Technologies. This will allow Flexential users to transfer data from Flexential’s colocation or cloud environment to Wasabi’s storage services.

The company reports that its customers can utilize Wasabi storage services over standard internet connections without traffic egress to an ISP. Flexential says this direct connection dramatically improves performance, streamlines traffic flows, and reduces exposure to security threats. 

Flexential COO Ryan Mallory said in a press release, “Enterprises today are seeking high capacity, reliable networks as they scale their high-performance applications, from AI to data-intensive cloud offerings. That’s why Flexential is constantly expanding its interconnection services, and our peering connection to Wasabi is the latest innovation aimed at unlocking value for customers across the U.S. Partnering to deliver this best-in-class interconnection experience reflects our joint commitment to innovation and enabling reliable, cost-effective traffic exchange.”

The enhanced service is available to customers using Wasabi cloud storage services over Flexential IP Bandwidth across all 41 Flexential data centers and service locations in the U.S.
