Lanware, providers of outsourced technology solutions for investment firms and financial institutions, is expanding into Level 3 Communications’ data centre in Brussels to support business growth and enable the facilitation of a wider suite of services to customers. With a dedicated suite at Level 3’s Brussels data centre, Lanware will deliver a 50 percent increase in capacity to its clients.

Security and technological demands have made the total cost of ownership of maintaining in-house data storage prohibitive for many firms, as well as distracting investment in time and money from other core business activities. As a result, there is a trend toward outsourcing, which allows firms to provide the highest standards of security, flexibility and agility. Lanware provides end-to-end IT services to meet that need.

“At Lanware, the secure storage of our clients’ data is our main focus, which is why we are vigilant about assessing opportunities to improve and take measures to protect and secure the data we are entrusted with at every level. This includes steps like data replication at distinct geographic locations, to avoid the risk of complete loss in the event of a local disaster,” said Henry Duncombe, Managing Director of Lanware.

Lanware is already established in Level 3 Communications’ London data centre, from where the company delivers a managed IT service to its clients. The addition of a dedicated suite in Brussels will enable Lanware to offer additional capacity, swifter access to services and faster replication of data – as well as enhancing its disaster recovery service offering.

“Our move to Brussels represents a key development in our business’ growth, which will enable us to better service our portfolio of clients as well as enhance the suite of services we offer. We are delighted to extend our relationship with Level 3 Communications. This development supports our international growth objectives, giving us flexibility and scalability for the future to meet our clients’ growing requirements,” Duncombe added.
