Ideal Customer
- Netrality's sweet spot is mid-market to large enterprise customers and network service providers that require urban, carrier-dense colocation with direct fiber interconnection rather than bulk compute capacity.
- Their ideal customers include network operators, ISPs, CDNs, and cloud on-ramp users that need to establish or expand Points of Presence (PoPs) in major U.S. cities, as well as latency-sensitive enterprises in financial services and healthcare.
Key Differentiators
- Netrality's primary differentiator is its positioning as the largest privately held owner-operator of core interconnection facilities in the United States, owning — not leasing — its carrier hotel buildings in strategic downtown urban locations where long-haul and metro fiber converge.
- Unlike hyperscale or suburban data centers valued for compute density, Netrality's facilities are valued for their location at the intersection of major fiber rights-of-way, providing access to 350+ network providers across its portfolio with no monthly recurring cross-connect fees — a notable departure from competitors like Equinix.
Industries Served
- Netrality serves a broad range of enterprise and service-provider verticals, with particular depth in financial services (including high-frequency trading firms needing low-latency proximity to exchanges like the CME and CBOE), healthcare (HIPAA-compliant infrastructure supporting EHR, telemedicine, and AI-driven healthcare applications), retail and e-commerce, technology companies and startups, gaming and interactive entertainment, and network service providers such as ISPs, CDNs, and managed service providers.
- Their carrier-neutral model is especially attractive to regulated industries like finance and healthcare that require multi-carrier redundancy and strict compliance postures.
Service Coverage
- Netrality Data Centers operates exclusively within the United States, focusing on dense urban markets rather than rural or suburban deployments.
- Their portfolio spans 18 properties totaling 3.3 million square feet and over 100 megawatts of capacity across six metro markets: Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Indianapolis.
Partnerships
- Netrality operates a formal Channel and Strategic Alliance Partner Program with two main tracks: Channel Partners (agents, resellers, brokers, and Technology Service Brokers who sell colocation and connectivity services through Netrality Master Agents) and Alliance Partners (technology, network service providers, and OEMs in their referral ecosystem).
- The program offers white-labeling, resale, referral selling motions, co-branded marketing, a self-service Partner Portal with deal registration and commission tracking, and a 100% sales-aligned model with no channel conflict.
Company Size & Ownership
- Netrality was originally founded in 2012 (rebranded as Netrality Properties/Data Centers in 2015) by Gerald Marshall and Josh Maes of Amerimar Enterprises.
- The company employs approximately 140–150 people across its operations.
Compliance & Certifications
- Netrality's facilities hold SSAE 18 SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 1 Type 2 certifications, along with HIPAA and PCI-DSS compliance across their portfolio.
- They also hold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, reflecting a commitment to sustainable building standards.
