“We are excited to support this transformational acquisition. DartPoints is on a mission to provide high performance and cost effective edge data center solutions to solve the needs of thriving local markets throughout the United States,” states Brian Kirschbaum, Partner at Astra Capital Management. “This transaction will allow DartPoints to continue to improve interconnection options for its customers and allow for the migration of mission-critical workloads closer to end-users.”
In 2020, DartPoints received investment funding from Astra Capital Management, initiating an aggressive plan to expand its edge interconnection solutions to underserved markets. The company opened its North Liberty, Eastern Iowa edge colocation data center; enhanced regional interconnection capabilities in Texas with LOGIX Fiber Networks; and acquired Metro Data Centers (MDC) in Ohio. The acquisition of Immedion will more than double the company’s edge interconnection colocation data center footprint, expanding the company’s solutions to more than six states across the US.
