Fundamentally Secure, Resilient & Always On Network Backs Updated LightEdge Cloud Solution

DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- LightEdge, a leading provider of secure cloud and colocation for nearly three decades, launches its most powerful cloud offering to date. LightEdge Cloud combines the scalability and efficiency of the public cloud with enhanced security typically associated with the private cloud, layering in the company's robust connectivity suite and expertise in compliance for highly regulated industries. Backed by a 100% uptime guarantee and a team of cloud engineers who continuously monitor and address performance vulnerabilities, LightEdge Cloud enables a more secure, customizable enterprise cloud experience with co-management and full transparency.

"The enterprise leaders we work with today want cloud management they can trust, with a high degree of visibility and security," said LightEdge CEO Jim Masterson. "We developed our LightEdge Cloud solution after many conversations with CIOs and IT leaders who need digital infrastructure that fuels their innovation and modernization instead of inhibiting it. And they need it rooted in security, observability, and compliance attestation, which is what LightEdge is known for. The LightEdge Cloud supports any enterprise workload with a solution that's scalable, transparent, and — above all else — incredibly secure."

Key features of LightEdge Cloud include:

End-to-end management by leading data center and cloud engineers trained to identify and address performance vulnerabilities with OS management and patching
Spend optimization with consistent, transparent pricing, and zero technical debt (no data egress fees, per-IP costs, or surprise billing either)
Capabilities to support all enterprise workloads, including VMware-based, IBM-based, and container-based workloads
Integrated VMware Cloud Director portal, which provides full transparency so customers can easily observe, monitor, and manage their multi-cloud environments
Enhanced visibility and security features — including microsegmentation, virtual firewall, built-in DDoS protection, and load balancing capabilities
All backed by the scalable, redundant, and highly secure network that LightEdge has spent more than 25 years perfecting

"So many enterprise leaders have had a complicated relationship with the cloud over the past few years," said Dale Dawson, VP of Product at LightEdge. "We built the LightEdge Cloud to reverse that trend. The LightEdge Cloud offers the same benefits of any public cloud, but at a more cost-effective and transparent price point, with a full team of cloud experts ready to jump in as needed. In short, we serve as an extension of your in-house IT team without breaking the bank, simplifying your cloud migration and management."
