Global Capacity is the leading connectivity as a service company that improves the efficiency and reduces the cost of data network services globally. No one provider has a ubiquitous footprint, through its innovative One Marketplace, Global Capacity brings together customers and suppliers through an automated platform that provides ubiquitous access network solutions that deliver on its brand promise of Connectivity Made Simple.
Global Capacity eliminates the complexity and inefficiency of the network market with its One Marketplace platform that combines an interconnected, aggregated data network with a cloud based application that automates the design, pricing, delivery and maintenance of network solutions. One Marketplace provides simple, cost-effective and high-performance network solutions that support the exploding bandwidth requirements driven by Cloud, mobility and globalization. There is no other platform in the market today that uses real-time market rate comparison with network availability assessment, and ordering and provisioning automation capabilities combined with physical inter-connectivity all governed by a single MSA to simplify the procurement and management of network connectivity services.
Global Capacity delivers its innovative connectivity solutions to enterprises, managed service providers, telecommunication carriers, system integrators, and application service providers. The company currently serves over 20,000 business customers and over 400 wholesale customers across the globe. Broadband branch office connectivity, application delivery and wide area network (WAN) optimization are three primary solutions customers entrust to Global Capacity.
Companies that range from local one location business to the largest service providers in the world rely on Global Capacity’s experience, network, applications and comprehensive product portfolio. Whether you are a tier-one carrier, local business, fortune 500 enterprise, independent operator or application provider, you can easily and quickly leverage Global Capacity’s network and connect to the locations you need.
Global Capacity was created through a series of strategic corporate mergers that when coalesced, represent an established operating history of 13+ years. The organization is privately held, and is a portfolio company of Pivotal Group, a leading investment corporation headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, with primary concentration on private equity and real estate.
