Macquarie Infrastructure Partners acquires Netrality

Macquarie Infrastructure Partners IV has expanded its communications infrastructure footprint by acquiring Netrality Data Centers. Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA), in partnership with Netrality’s management team, acquired Netrality from funds managed by Abrams Capital Management. “Netrality’s facilities represent a critical form of digital infrastructure. In addition to facilitating the operation of the public internet, the sites also allow companies to build direct private connections between networks, improving performance, reliability and security,” said Karl Kuchel, CEO of MIP IV. "We are very pleased to partner with Netrality’s experienced management team as we expand our portfolio of investments in communications infrastructure.” As one of the world’s leading alternative asset managers, with $129 billion in assets, MIRA invests in the communications infrastructure that underpins innovation in the world’s rapidly evolving digital economy – supporting the development and operation of broadcast, towers, fibre, cable, wireless networks and data centres.
