LightEdge, a Des Moines-based cloud services provider, has announced an agreement to acquire St. Louis-based Connectria, a provider of multi-cloud infrastructure and managed hosting services. Connectria adds six data center locations to LightEdge’s existing footprint of 12 facilities across the country. The acquisition is LightEdge’s fourth since GI Partners’ investment in 2021, and extends LightEdge’s colocation and private cloud offering into public cloud services. “With this acquisition, LightEdge becomes one of the only secure and compliant infrastructure providers in the country offering both hybrid colocation and tailored multi-cloud solutions,” LightEdge CEO Jim Masterson said in a prepared statement. “The acquisition extends LightEdge’s colocation and private cloud offering into public cloud services, while bringing together two incredibly talented and diverse teams and two highly complementary product suites, geographies, and customer bases.”
