In a deal combining Dallas-based providers, Collocation Solutions has acquired COMDEPOT, L.L.C., which provides managed network services, the two companies said today.

The COMDEPOT business will operate as a subsidiary of Collocation Solutions and will be based at the Dallas Infomart, the Dallas carrier hotel housing Collocation Solutions' primary datacenter. COMDEPOT founders Don Purner and Steve Fahle will continue with the company.

The deal is the latest in a series of mergers and partnerships between hosting and infrastructure companies and providers delivering specialized managed services. COMDEPOT's areas of expertise include integrating multi-carrier environments, virtual network, security, and technology services.

"We have made this investment in response to our corporate clients’ requirements and to leverage the significant network presence within our carrier-neutral data centers," said Jim deVenny, CEO of Collocation Solutions. "This combination of COMDEPOT’s services and our robust meet-me-rooms gives us the on-net capabilities required to deliver reliable, value-added network services to the enterprise.

"This investment in COMDEPOT will enable the company to take advantage of these assets both inside and outside the data center environment," deVenny added. "These services will greatly enhance enterprise networks while reducing overall communications and technology costs.”

"Our business has been focused on delivering industry-leading 'On Demand' managed network solutions and achieving high levels of customer satisfaction," said Fahle. "We now have the added support of a strong company that demonstrates an equal commitment to these same business principles that will help us take our company to the next level."
