More About Latisys
Latisys provides infrastructure services that enterprises use to deploy and operate production workloads, Disaster Recovery (DR) environments, and distributed applications across colocation, managed hosting, and cloud infrastructure (infrastructure services).
The company operates data center facilities that supply power, cooling, and physical security for customer equipment, along with options for cabinet, cage, or suite-based colocation (data center services). These services are used by organizations that want to retain control over hardware and operating systems while offloading facility management tasks such as environmental controls, access management, and on-site support.
Beyond basic colocation, Latisys offers managed hosting services in which it provisions and manages compute, storage, and network infrastructure on behalf of customers (managed hosting). This model supports workloads that require dedicated or virtualized servers but benefit from provider-managed lifecycle tasks such as provisioning, monitoring, patching, and hardware replacement. Customers typically integrate these hosted environments with their own networks via VPNs, dedicated circuits, or carrier-neutral connectivity.
Latisys also supports hybrid IT architectures where some workloads run in colocation, others on managed hosting, and some in cloud infrastructure, connected through the provider’s network and third-party carriers (hybrid IT). This approach aligns with enterprise architecture patterns that segment applications based on performance, latency, compliance, or data residency requirements. Connectivity options can include Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking, cross-connects to carriers, and secure connectivity to external cloud platforms.
From a technology perspective, Latisys services commonly interact with standard enterprise components such as x86 server platforms, SAN and Network Attached Storage (NAS) storage systems, virtualization platforms, IP networking, firewalls, VPNs, and load balancers (infrastructure services). Customers deploy operating systems such as Linux and Windows Server, databases, middleware, and application servers on top of these foundational services, while Latisys focuses on underlying hardware, network, and facility operations.
In an enterprise IT marketplace directory, Latisys aligns with categories such as colocation services, data center hosting, managed hosting, and hybrid IT infrastructure services. Its portfolio addresses use cases including primary production deployment, Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR), business continuity sites, and staging or test environments that require controlled latency and power density. The company’s combination of colocation, managed hosting, and connectivity positions it as a provider for organizations that want to mix owned and provider-managed infrastructure within a single multi-site environment.
