GI Partners to take majority stake in LightEdge

by Kali Persall

GI Partners has acquired a controlling interest in LightEdge, an Ohio-based provider of colocation, cloud and managed service solutions. The company has been majority-owned by The Anschutz Corp. since 2008.

LightEdge operates seven data centers in Austin; Des Moines, Iowa; Kansas City, Mo.; Omaha, Neb.; and Raleigh, N.C. GI Partners’ investment will support and accelerate the growth of LightEdge.

“Over the last several years, LightEdge has emerged as a leading platform for colocation and cloud and managed services, particularly in the Midwest region,” said Mark Prybutok, managing director of GI Partners. “The company has a proven model for delivering excellent service to enterprise customers in an increasingly complex hybrid-cloud world.”

GI Partners is acquiring LightEdge through its GI Data Infrastructure Fund, which was launched last year and manages more than $1.8 billion of capital commitments.
