Case Study: MediaNews Group achieves on-time print publication delivery with Flexential colocation and connectivity

Delivering Award-winning Local and National News

MediaNews Group, the U.S. second-largest newspaper publisher headquartered in Denver with nearly 100 print titles and 60M+ monthly readers, needed a cost-effective data center to support legacy print, circulation, advertising and billing systems. When its incumbent provider couldn’t meet pricing and carrier-access needs, MediaNews sought a secure, carrier-friendly colocation partner that could meet a tight migration window and guarantee uptime to avoid missed print deadlines.

MediaNews deployed a small cabinet in Flexential’s Denver data center and adopted fully managed, blended connectivity and Flexential Interconnection; Flexential coordinated the rapid migration, preserved access to the publisher’s four carriers, and provided SLA-backed uptime, redundant power/cooling and robust security. The outcome is mission-critical availability that ensures publications are printed and delivered on time, reduces network complexity and costs, and frees MediaNews’ IT team to focus on cloud and growth initiatives.
