GI Partners has announced a $1 billion investment in Flexential to accelerate the development of next-generation data centers across the U.S., according to a press release.
GI Partners has announced the closing of a significant investment in Flexential, securing approximately $1 billion in capital to drive the development of next-generation data centers across the United States.
