ABOUT CLOUDINX
Global infrastructure. Market intelligence. Enterprise accountability.
CloudINX is an international, carrier-neutral commercial and interconnection business that brings together cloud, network, data-centre, edge and managed-service capabilities across global markets.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Built to connect strategy, infrastructure and execution.
Established in 2014, CloudINX works across the digital infrastructure value chain—helping enterprises, telecommunications operators, technology platforms, investors and public institutions develop and operate the connectivity environments required for growth.
Our model combines carrier neutrality, multi-domain infrastructure knowledge, multi-market execution and disciplined service governance. The result is a single accountable framework across decisions that are normally fragmented between carriers, cloud services, facilities, technology service options and enterprise stakeholders.
