Layered Technologies Upgrades Network

(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Layered Technologies, a provider of on-demand IT infrastructure,
announced that its recently completed network upgrades to further
strengthen its ability to handle complex requirements of
enterprise-class customers for traditional and virtualization
platforms, while simultaneously positioning Layered Tech to effectively
manage its rapid growth.

Network investments include expanding its number of carriers so that
customers have a blend of Internet pathways. Level 3 Communications,
Global Crossing and Sprint give Layered Tech's customers strong
overseas access, while SAVVIS, Internap and Time Warner provide U.S.
Internet access. Layered Tech also enhanced access between its data
centers with 10-gigabit circuits, while hardware upgrades include new
Cisco switches in VSS configuration. The upgrades and improvements have
resulted in faster, more reliable access for Layered Tech customers,
the company said.

"Our rapidly expanding customer base is fueling Layered Tech's network
investments whose benefits are particularly attractive to enterprise
customers looking for advanced virtualization technologies," said Jack
Finlayson, CEO of Layered Tech. "The network upgrade has been a major
initiative since our acquisition of FastServers.Net earlier this year.
We will continue to evolve our network to meet our customers' needs,
but we already know that Layered Tech offers the services, capacity,
security and redundancy that other data centers and dedicated hosting
providers just can't match."

The value of Layered Tech's upgraded network was recently showcased
when an enterprise customer, which provides an open-source blog
publishing application, wanted to expand its presence into a second
Layered Tech data center. Layered Tech was able to deploy 150 servers
for the customer in less than a week at its Chicago data center, which
was best-suited to handle the significant increase because of its

enterprise-grade security and redundancy.

Customers will continue to reap the benefits of Layered Tech's ongoing
network investments, said Layered Tech CTO Jeremy Suo-Anttila.

"The network upgrades have solidified Layered Tech's leadership
position in both enterprise-class services and virtualization
technologies. With our virtual private data centers, Layered Tech can
provide customers with private switches, firewalls and load-balancing
devices that aren't available from most data centers or dedicated
hosting providers," Suo-Anttila said. "Layered Tech can build out the
infrastructure required by enterprise-class customers, who have highly
complex designs. We deliver the platform customers need, whether it's
dedicated servers or a virtual computing environment, and we wrap our
flexible and customized managed services around those configurations.
These capabilities are uncommon, and Layered Tech is proud to offer
them."
