CoreSite, a provider of data centers, has purchased Comfluent, a carrier-neutral, network-centric colocation provider, located in Denver, Colorado. The purchase price is approximately $3 million along with the provision for earn-out payments over the next three years if certain operating and leasing hurdles are met.
Comfluent has around 75 customers, and manages the Rocky Mountain Internet eXchange (RMIX), the region’s largest Internet exchange with access to more than 25 networks. Comfluent currently leases two sites that total approximately 9,300 NRSF.
Alf Gardner, who founded Comfluent in 1997, will remain with CoreSite after the acquisition closes as general manager of Denver.
