Aptum is a managed cloud and hosting provider that runs hybrid multi-cloud environments and colocation from its own data centers. It positions itself as a consulting and managed service provider rather than a raw platform: it helps a company decide where each workload should run, private cloud, public cloud or colocation, then designs, migrates and manages it. It owns data centers, runs a managed cloud platform and private cloud, and also manages public cloud on the hyperscalers, with services aimed at controlling the cost and performance of that spend. The company traces its roots to a hosting business founded in Vancouver in 1996, went through several owners and names, and rebranded as Aptum after acquiring a cloud-operations firm. For a buyer, Aptum is a guide and operator across private and public cloud and colocation.
Best for
- Companies with workloads spread across private cloud, public cloud and their own hardware that want one provider to design and manage the whole mix.
- Organizations rethinking a public-cloud deployment, whether to optimize its cost or move some workloads back to a private, managed environment.
- Businesses that want help deciding where each workload belongs and a well-architected review before committing.
- Teams that want managed hosting and colocation from a provider that owns its own data centers.
A company committed to running everything itself on a single public cloud, with the staff to do it, is a different buyer than Aptum's guided, managed model targets.
What they offer
Cloud and IaaS. A managed cloud platform, private cloud and server hosting run by Aptum, with managed DevOps and consulting services such as well-architected reviews and repatriation assessments that help decide where workloads should run.
Cloud Marketplace. Managed public cloud on the major hyperscalers, with cost-optimization services that work to control and reduce a cloud bill while keeping performance and security in check.
Colocation. Space in Aptum's own data centers, including facilities in Herndon, Miami and Portsmouth, for companies that want to place hardware alongside their managed cloud.

Good to know
- Aptum leads with consulting: its pitch is helping you choose where each workload runs, not pushing one platform. Ask what an engagement includes beyond the hosting itself.
- It has changed names and owners over the years, from Peer 1 through Cogeco Peer 1 to Aptum, so a buyer may recognize it under an older name.

How buying works
The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.
Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
