TORONTO/LONDON, ON, April 13 /CNW/ - Primus Business Services, a division of Primus Telecommunications Canada, Inc. (Primus), a leading hosting and managed services provider, announced that Velocity Technology Solutions, Inc., a leader in cloud-based enterprise software hosting, application management and consulting services designed specifically for Lawson Software, has chosen Primus Canada to provide server co-location and managed security services to its Canadian clients, significantly adding to Primus' London Data Centre customer base. The partnership ensures that Velocity's Canadian customers will benefit from the Velocity On-Demand(TM) cloud-based technology services while making certain that their data and software applications remain within Canadian boarders in a safe, secure, and environmentally controlled facility.
"We are thrilled that Velocity has selected Primus' London Data Centre - one of our seven highly reliable world-class data centers in Canada, owned and operated by Primus - to deliver hosting solutions to their Canadian customers," said Jeff Lorenz, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Primus. "Customers can be assured that their data is protected in a highly secure and controlled environment with built-in redundancy so that business critical applications are accessible 100% of the time."
"We first established our Canadian presence with our acquisition of RJ Thompson Data Services, a technology consulting business located in London, Ontario. I am excited to now be able to bring our software hosting solutions to Canadian-based businesses through our new partnership with Primus," said Velocity CEO Tom Bruno. "Our private cloud-based service offerings provide our customers secure, high availability computing environments for their enterprise software. The addition of this datacenter provides peace-of-mind to our Canadian businesses as well as full compliance with Canadian laws and regulations."
