History
FireHost was founded in 2009 by Chris Drake, the company’s current CEO. It launched its secure public cloud in 2011, and since then has raised $59 million in funding, mostly from the Stephens Group. That includes $10 million investments in both 2011 and 2012, $12 million in 2013, and $25 million in 2014.

In 2015, Dell started partnering with the company to offer FireHost’s private cloud service to its customers.

Today, the company has about 200 employees and operates secure data centers in Dallas, Phoenix, Singapore, Amsterdam, and London.
