Partnership Overview
Who Data Canopy is built for
Mid-to-large enterprises, MSPs, government agencies and regulated (healthcare/finance) organizations moving off on-premise data centers or optimizing hybrid-cloud spend; IT directors and CTOs seeking custom, carrier-neutral infrastructure with expert support.
Data Canopy is a carrier-neutral, aggregator-model provider of colocation, private cloud/IaaS, backup and disaster recovery, headquartered in Columbia, Maryland. Rather than owning facilities, it aggregates wholesale capacity across top-tier third-party data centers (CyrusOne, Equinix, QTS, NTT, Digital Realty, DC Blox and others) and layers on its own cloud, connectivity and managed-services expertise, with direct on-ramps to AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. It targets mid-to-large enterprises, MSPs, government and regulated industries (healthcare, finance) needing SOC 2 Type II / HIPAA / PCI-DSS-aligned, GPU/AI-ready infrastructure with white-glove support. In 2023 Data Canopy merged with Intelishift (backed by a $50M investment from Metropolitan Partners Group) and acquired Ntirety's colocation hosting business, operating the combined company under the Data Canopy brand.
