Cyxtera represents a vision founded at the confluence of two revolutionary forces: the continued evolution of enterprise IT, and a transformation in infrastructure security. 

Today’s IT estates run in more locations, on more platforms, and with more diverse models than ever before. Enterprise IT is dynamic, distributed, and deeply interconnected.

The problem is, too many providers are  applying yesterday’s security to today’s IT. 

Hardware-centric and inflexible in an API-driven universe. Perimeter-focused in a world without boundaries. The same old cumbersome, expensive firewalls—with thousands of static rules—trying in vain to secure a world in constant motion.

In 2017, Cyxtera acquired Centurylink's entire data center portfolio for $1.86 billion.

The United States is the largest single region for connectivity and the cloud in the world today. Its major markets include the financial hubs of New York and Chicago, the Tech hubs of the Bay Area (San Francisco), Seattle and Portland; the population hubs of Dallas, Los Angeles and the center of Government in Washington DC. With the country's total data center numbers outweighing its nearest market (the United Kingdom) by five times; the United States is the undisputed "home of the internet".
