Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization	Organization Switch, Inc. was formed as a Nevada corporation in June 2017 for the purpose of completing an initial public offering (“IPO”) and related organizational transactions in order to carry on the business of Switch, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Switch,” and together with Switch, Inc., the “Company”). Switch is comprised of limited liability companies that provide colocation space and related services to global enterprises, financial companies, government agencies, and others that conduct critical business on the internet. Switch develops and operates data centers in Nevada, which are Tier IV Gold certified, Michigan, and Georgia, delivering redundant services with low latency and super capacity transport environments. In June 2021, Switch, Ltd. acquired all of the equity interests of Data Foundry, LLC (“Data Foundry”) and certain real property interests used in connection with Data Foundry’s operations, including operating data centers in Texas. As the manager of Switch, Ltd., Switch, Inc. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Switch. On May 11, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with an affiliate of DigitalBridge Group, Inc. and IFM Investors pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into by Switch, Inc., Switch, Ltd., Sunshine Bidco Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Sunshine Merger Sub, Ltd., a Nevada limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Switch, Inc. (“Company Merger Sub”), and Sunshine Parent Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Parent Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Parent Merger Sub will merge with and into Switch, Inc. with Switch, Inc. remaining as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), and immediately following the Merger, Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Switch Ltd. (the “LLC Merger” and, together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock will be acquired for $34.25 per share in an all-cash transaction, and any issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash consideration of $34.25 per share. On August 4, 2022, Switch, Inc.’s stockholders voted to approve the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement at a special meeting of stockholders held for that purpose. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “DigitalBridge/IFM Transaction”) are subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the Mergers described in the Merger Agreement. The Mergers are expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2022. Upon completion of the DigitalBridge/IFM Transaction, the Company will no longer be traded or listed on any public securities exchange.
