Xand and DBSi have announced a merger creating a privately held data centre firm unrivaled in the Northeast marketplace. Xand will add three premium raised-floor facilities in Pennsylvania to an already formidable trio of data centres in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts, servicing over 1,000 customers with colocation, cloud, business continuity and managed services.  

Xand was acquired by ABRY Partners in October of 2011 and then merged with Access Northeast of Marlboro, Massachusetts in March of 2012. With this new DBSi transaction, ABRY Partners, a Boston, Massachusetts-based private equity investment firm, continues to build upon their impressive resume of data center and communications space investments.
