The post Hivelocity Launches Next Generation Private Cloud appeared first on Hivelocity Hosting.

Tampa, FL – April 2, 2024 – Colohouse, a portfolio company of Valterra Partners and a leading player in the colocation, cloud, hosting, and network services sector, has announced the successful acquisition of Hivelocity, the leading provider of bare metal hosting. This strategic move combines the portfolio of two well-established providers with a focus on cloud and bare metal services to meet growing market demand.

“Our acquisition of Hivelocity is a strategic move to enhance our capabilities and reinforce our commitment to delivering top-tier IT infrastructure services,” said Jeremy Pease, CEO at Colohouse. “Together, Colohouse and Hivelocity create a unique, next-generation provider that places the customer’s needs and success at the forefront, providing them with the connectivity and computing power required to deploy and manage modern applications and data.” 

“Our mission at Hivelocity is to create a company with a singular focus on simplifying hosting with an exceptional customer experience. We have continuously excelled at our mission, grown our customer base and kept up with their demands, which led us from a single rack of servers to operating 40+ world-class data centers on 6 continents.” says Mike Architetto, CEO of Hivelocity. “Combined with Colohouse, Hivelocity can accelerate its capabilities and continue its legacy of simplifying IT for its customers.” 

Key Benefits of Colohouse’s acquisition of Hivelocity: 

1. Full-service hybrid cloud product offering. The acquisition bolsters Colohouse’s infrastructure and existing hosting services with Hivelocity’s robust bare metal servers, network automation, and virtual private cloud solutions. Combined, the company can address the demand for a more comprehensive range of solutions for applications and data that require more computing power and connectivity options as customers seek to optimize cost, performance and security. 
2. Automation and self-service capabilities across private infrastructure. As a next-generation service provider, the combined company will enable rapid deployment and scalability of private compute and connectivity resources across dozens of domestic and international locations. This platform enables and integrates modern capabilities including developer tools, APIs, and SDN.
3. Top tier talent helping customers succeed. The acquisition is founded on a shared commitment to focus on our customer’s needs and success. The most impactful solutions provide automation when wanted and expertise when needed. With decades of experience as a service provider, the combined teams are committed to exceptional customer service. 

As businesses increasingly rely on advanced IT infrastructure to drive growth, the acquisition of Hivelocity by Colohouse sets the stage for the most comprehensive and mature suite of hosted infrastructure paired with expertise, resources, and innovation capabilities. In addition to integrating existing services, the combined entities will launch a new private cloud offering in early Q3 of 2024 which is specifically designed for enterprise virtualization environments to optimize for workloads with complex applications, architectures, scalability, and security requirements. 

With the acquisition of Hivelocity, Colohouse has now completed seven acquisitions since 2021 backed by continued support and investment from Valterra Partners, LLC (“Valterra Partners”). As part of the transaction, William LaPerch will be joining the Board of Directors.

Kevin Reed, Managing Director of Valterra Partners, added, “The combination of Colohouse and Hivelocity is the result of a multiyear strategy to acquire and develop a differentiated data center and hybrid cloud provider that provides a platform of significant scale within a high growth market. The combined business provides a talented executive team, completes strategic offerings and expands capacities across a substantial geographic footprint that will support future growth.”

TAMPA, FL, March 1, 2023, Hivelocity, the leading Bare Metal Cloud provider announced today the launch of their new global Channel Partner Program, allowing partners to deploy and modernize their clients’ infrastructure with predictable pricing. The launch of Hivelocity’s Channel Program comes at a time of strong growth for the company, with rising demand for their edge-ready infrastructure spreading across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Hivelocity will celebrate the launch with a kick off at the Channel Partners Conference and Expo in Las Vegas in May.

With the addition of industry veteran Chrissy Hines, Vice President of Channel and Strategic Alliances, Hivelocity is well positioned to capture market share and expand global reach. “We are excited to officially launch the Hivelocity Channel Partner Program. As a company, we have been successful not only because of our superior product offering and network capabilities, but also because we are nimble, flexible, and simplistic to do business with. My philosophy is to make it just as easy to partner with us. I’ve structured this program from the eye of the partner, eliminating common channel blockers that agents and other partners tend to experience from suppliers. As we go to market, my vision is to establish quality partnerships over quantity, and we are looking forward to investing in select partners who understand the strategic value we bring to the IaaS industry, and who are willing to lean in with us.” said Hines.

Designed to be simplistic, supportive, and reciprocal, the Hivelocity Channel Program focuses on three key segments of go-to-market partnerships: Technology Service Brokerage Firms, Multi-Platform Resellers, and Strategic Technology Partners.  

Program Launch Highlights

Consultative: Technology Service Brokerages

Hivelocity rounded out 2022 with six of the most well-respected and productive Technology Service Brokerage Firms in the IaaS space including, Bridgepointe Technologies, UPSTACK, Inflect, and AppDirect. Equating to 85% growth in active agents, this has contributed to 110% year-over-year growth in associated channel revenue. By building trust through securing agents’ long-term growth within customer accounts, reciprocal business practices, and implementing a robust marketplace for opportunity tracking, reporting, and access to sales enablement resources, Hivelocity is establishing pivotal partnerships within the agent community.

“Hivelocity is a best-of-breed provider which gives us access to key markets around the world.” explained Mel Melara, Vice President of Sales and Head of Bridgepointe’s Global Data Center Practice. “We’ve seen a spike in demand resulting from industry supply chain constraints, and this partnership gives us a new option in our portfolio for BareMetal and Infrastructure. As a tech advisory firm our clients come to us to get access to a broad range of options to help them accelerate their time to ROI, and adding Hivelocity will help us do that.” 

Bridgepointe Technologies is the nation’s leading technology advisory firm with over 8,000 clients worldwide. Their solutions and services, which include data center and hybrid cloud, enable their clients to evaluate, implement and manage tech strategies to realize sustainable results for business growth. 

Global Growth: Resellers

Over the past year, resellers have helped to increase market sales across Africa, South America, Australia, and Canada. Significant investment has been made to continue improving and enhancing their multi-platform reseller program, with increased focus on rewarding partners for driving revenue, offering up to 45% of revenue share. Reselling with Hivelocity is easy and interested resellers can get started via WHMCS, AppDirect, through the company’s own API or direct agreement.

Collective Innovation: Strategic Technology Partners

Building and nurturing an ecosystem of diverse alliance partners is paramount to Hivelocity’s next phase of growth. With a focus on quality partnerships that align well with Hivelocity’s Bare Metal service offerings, the company aims to establish new revenue streams and bilateral alliance workflows. Notable partnerships in 2022 included Digital Realty, Wasabi, and Console Connect.
